Who Got It Done

Player Spotlight – Nikola Jokic

NIkola Jokic dropped 38 points and 18 rebounds in a win over the floundering Los Angeles Lakers that may have put the nail in the coffin of the Lakers play-in aspirations. The 2020-21 MVP is once again contending to add a second such award to his trophy case, averaging 26.8 points, 13.7 rebounds and a mind-blowing 8.0 assists per contest.
