Well, if there was ever any doubt about who the NBA MVP should be there is none after what Nikola Jokic did Monday night at Ball Arena. In a game the Nuggets looked dead in the water, Jokic put the Nuggets on his back — like he has done all season — to lead Denver to a thrilling 139-137 victory in double-overtime over the Memphis Grizzlies.
It may end up being Jokic’s signature performance en route to potentially winning MVP as he poured in 47 points on 20-of-31 shooting from the field to go along with 15 rebounds and eight assists.
