The Denver Nuggets are sitting on the top of the Western Conference mainly due to Nikola Jokic’s MVP-caliber season.

The Denver Nuggets beat the Sacramento Kings in the Golden 1 Center on Thursday. Jamal Murray was the game-changer scoring 34 of 36 points in the second half, 17 in the third period and 17 in the fourth. However, Nikola Jokic was superb throughout the 48 minutes, notched a 26-point, 13-rebound double-double, also dished six assists in 32 minutes.

Few presumed the Nuggets on the top of NBA’s Western Conference almost midway through the 2018-19 Regular Season. The Joker’s relentlessness has helped them overcome expectations. The 23-year-old Serb forward/center is helping all around the court averaging 18 points, 9.9 rebounds and 7.6 assists.
