Well, now it’s Nikola Jokic’ turn to get a win. The Joker has put up solid numbers and is only one game removed from stacking up triple-doubles. It’s not as if he’s Boban Marjanovic or something……..oh, wait, that’s the problem; Jokic has let some pretty pedestrian big men have unfettered access to the basket, lately. Between Joffrey Lauvergne and Boban, the Nuggets big man has put up some shaky defensive performances.
Tonight, he will have opportunity to reset his defensive footprint with Memphis’ uber-big, Marc Gasol.
We’ve chosen Gasol vs. Jokic as our matchup to watch for tonight’s game.
