Nikola Jokic takes backseat in win
by Zachary Hanshew | Nuggets Correspondent | Mon, Nov 18th 4:29am EST
Nikola Jokic went for nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight assists and five rebounds across 26 minutes in the Nuggets’ 131-114 win over the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact:
The eight assists were certainly encouraging, but Jokic's final stat line was anything but. His nine points matched a season-low, though the small offensive showing came on a night Jamal Murray went off for 39 points. The All Star center has seen his averages drop significantly across the board, with 16.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.2 steals this season. Those numbers are still excellent, but they definitely aren't what fantasy owners expected when they spent a top-eight pick on the Joker.
