Nikola Jokic is averaging 8.9 assists over the last 10 games and 9.9 assists over the last seven games. His scoring is down and his shot isn’t falling but Jokic has been as good of a facilitator throughout this winning streak as he has at any point in his career. As a result, the Denver Nuggets are back to playing “Jokic-ball,” the unofficial name for Denver’s unique style of play that relies on quick ball movement and people movement to generate open looks.
Over the last 10 games, the Nuggets lead the league in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio, two of the key indicators of a healthy Jokic-ball offense.
