Nikola Jokić – B- Jokić played an unfocused game down in Orlando. He was sloppy in his playmaking, turning it over seven times, and turned in one of his worst defensive efforts this season. The magic, for all their flaws, possesses length and athleticism. They defend Jokić well, notably Wendell Carter Jr., who presents a tough matchup for the MVP.…

The attention shifts to Calvin Booth on trade deadline day.
MPJ is growing up. Quick. And how he’s checked his ego at the door has earned him even more respect in the Nuggets’ locker room.
Nikola Jokić – A+ The Wolves know how they want to guard Jokić. Much like the Gobert-featured Jazz teams of the past and the more recent loss to the 76ers, the Wolves deployed Naz Reid, their starting power forward, to guard Jokić. That left Gobert with the Aaron Gordon assignment, in a better position to wreak havoc help side. Jokić…
Michael Porter Jr. – B Porter led all scorers with 22 points which did not come easily. His three-point shot failed him, so he began forcing the issue at the rim. He found success on the drive. The newfound scoring focus came with a consequence. He could have helped his team more in the battle on the glass. And as…
That dude Jamal Murray is back.
Nikola Jokić – A It became clear early on that Jokić wouldn’t have to force the issue Saturday night. That’s just fine with the new league leader in total assists. Jokić moved past Trae Young, who missed the game, after recording another triple-double in a Nuggets win. He shot over 50% from the field again, something he’s failed to do…
Nikola Jokić – A+ Nikola Jokić won’t stop posting triple-doubles, and the Denver Nuggets won’t stop winning at home. They survived an early air raid from the shorthanded dubs and posted 134 points in regulation with relative ease. Jokić was masterful, enjoying his nearly full-strength roster and putting the Warriors’ defenders in a torture chamber. This matchup has changed a…
You can say Camby is a big fan of the back-to-back MVP.
There was no second guessing to Murray’s game Tuesday vs. NOLA.
Nikola Jokić – A+ Nikola Jokić didn’t linger on the suboptimal results in Philadelphia. He didn’t overcompensate, either. It was business as usual for the back-to-back MVP, who followed his trusty blueprint for success. He’s averaging a triple-double on outlandish efficiency after posting 26 points (71.4 FG%), 18 rebounds, and 15 assists. He read the New Orleans defense like a…

Nikola Jokić – C+ It was all going according to plan at the half. Jokić was in complete control of a game the Nuggets were dominating. The offense looked easy, and he’d found success guarding Joel Embiid. Everything was turning up Denver. But Doc Rivers’ chose to pull Embiid off of Jokić, deploying P.J. Tucker instead, allowing Embiid to roam…
Five takeaways from the Nuggets’ loss to the 76ers.
Aaron Gordon – A- It was surprising to see Gordon listed as available for this game. Four starters were taking the night off between injuries and a demanding schedule. In that scenario, one might have imagined Gordon would follow suit. He’s laboring his way to the all-star break. Still, there he was when the game tipped off. If AG needed…
