The Nuggets lost to the Warriors 102-113 today, ending a four-game winning streak. After today's game, the Nuggets have equaled the Lone Rangers, and if they can beat the Warriors today, they will rise to fifth in the West, but unfortunately they failed to win and were reversed by the Warriors.
In today's game, Jokic still performed well, playing 31 minutes, 9 of 21 shots, including 8 of 0 three-pointers, 5 of 6 from the free throws, 23 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists, but he was plagued by fouls today, coupled with the impact of consecutive battles, so he failed to play his due strength.
It is worth mentioning that in the previous 3 games, Jokic's personal state was very hot, averaging 38.7 points, 15 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game, which was the first player to average 35 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in 3 consecutive games after Oxlade-Chamberlain in 1968.
In addition, Jokic also became the first player in NBA history to score at least 32 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in three consecutive games, and the shooting rate was not less than 62.5%.
Not only that, but in the last 5 days, Jokic has played a total of 4 games, playing two back-to-back games. In such a situation, he averaged 35 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists per game, and even if he lost to the Warriors today, it could not hide his magical performance.
As of now, the Nuggets' winning percentage is still close to 60%, and Jokic can average 26 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists per game. If the Nuggets' win rate remains at 60 percent at the end of the regular season, Jokic is likely to be MVP this season.
In the case of injury of many players in the team, including Murray and Porter Jr., jokic can lead the Nuggets to play such a performance, which is indeed MVP level.
