The Nuggets avoided the Rocky Mountain cold this weekend by escaping to Florida, and they picked up two wins while they were away.
They’ll return to Denver to host the 76ers on Tuesday after a 113-100 win over the Magic on Sunday.
Nikola Jokic amassed 20 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and three blocks in three quarters, his impressive efficiency against Wendell Carter Jr. and Jonathan Isaac allowing him to rest the final frame. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. combined for 34 points, both getting hot in the third as Denver (26-16) pulled away.
