The All-Star center is on pace for career highs in scoring (23.0 ppg), assists (7.0 apg), and three-point percentage (36.4%).

Denver Nuggets:
The Nuggets (18-6) are off to their best start through 24 games in franchise history. They have won their last four consecutive matchups, most recently defeating the Sacramento Kings 136-105 last Friday. Nikola Jokic finished with 36 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists. Peyton Watson added 21 points while Cameron Johnson added 16.
The Nuggets are still without two key players. Aaron Gordon has missed the team’s last 9 games due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, while Christian Braun has missed the last 13 games due to a left ankle sprain. Both players are expected to return after Christmas.
Even without both starters, Denver continues to find ways to win. The Nuggets currently lead the NBA in points per game (125.5) and field goal percentage (51.7%).
