Nikola Jokic Posts 31 Points, 11 Assists Versus Milwaukee
2 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic matched Giannis Antetokounmpo's output with 31 points and added 11 assists in a comfortable 129-106 victory over Milwaukee Saturday. The Joker wasn't in a triple-double mood this time, but still put in decent work on the glass by grabbing six rebounds and capped off his line with one steal, while shooting 10-for-20 from the field and 10-for-11 at the foul line. Now that he has taken down Giannis' crew, Jokic will head out for another scalp Monday, when we get to see the battle of the MVP candidates between him and Joel Embiid. In the first head-to-head meeting of the season, Jokic had a quiet night with 24 points and missed a triple-double, while Embiid went off for 47 points and 18 boards.
