The Denver Nuggets will face a stern test against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday amid injuries to Nikola Jokic and two other starters.

The Clippers’ only hope of stopping Nikola Jokic on a historic night was for a fan to join them on the court and play 6-on-5.

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is blowing Hakeem Olajuwon's stat lines out of the water, says Kendrick Perkins.

The NBA had a small slate of five games on Saturday night with some big names trying to add more wins for their teams. Luka Dončić faced Giannis Antetokounmpo in a battle of MVP candidates required to do more with limited rosters. The Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets hoped to keep their winning ways in respective games for West seeding.

Jokic is the clear engine as always behind the Nuggets' current six-game winning streak, the second-best in the NBA next to the Detroit Pistons' eight-game streak, leading the league in rebounds, leading the league in assists, and as of recent, turned a corner to be the dominant, and efficient scorer he's known to be as well.

That’s the effect Jokic has when he’s at his best. And when he’s fully healthy. He’s both right now.
