Jokic is averaging a triple double this season and is constantly showcasing his amazing talent, like in the most recent win over Indiana where the Serbian had 19 assists to go with 18 pts and 9 rebounds.
Milwaukee have superstars themselves but can be found lacking against more complete teams. They had a cold shooting night in their recent loss to the Rockets contributing to one of their lowest scores in 3 months of basketball.
Denver are not the most accomplished defensive team but they will drag you into a battle and with Nikola Jokic on the front line Milwaukee will need to pull out all stops to hinder the great man from creating shots for his teammates.
The depth across the court will push the Nuggets across the line in this one. Expect Jokic to be central, not so much as a point scorer but as a facilitator and shield. He is averaging 11.2 assists over his last 5 games, expect that number to be in double digits again here.
- Denver are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 and 6-3-1 against Milwaukee in their last 10 matchups.
- Milwaukee have gone under the Team total in 5 of their last 6 and 5 straight against Denver.
- Denver lead the league in Assists per game at 31.3
- Jokic had 19 assists in his most recent outing and is averaging 11.2 assists in his last 5 games.

Nikola Jokic is having another outstanding season and is pushing this team to new heights. He is averaging 29.2 pts per game as well as 12.6 boards and 10.4 assists, numbers that would have him as a clear MVP favourite in any other year. His sidekick Jamal Murray is contributing with 21.1 pts per game.
