Devner basketball players will be looking for a much-needed victory in tonight’s meeting with the Pistons, who they are meeting in the “Bol Arena” three hours after midnight.
Nikola Jokić is dominating the NBA this season as well, showing again why he is by far the best player today and recording incredible numbers in the opening half of the campaign.
He is a little short of averaging a triple-double, scoring 30.5 points and grabbing 12.7 rebounds, and the only “trotting” assists are “only” 9.5 per match.
The defense has no answer for the popular Joker, however, the rest of the team is not playing at the expected level and that is the main reason for Denver’s slightly lower score (16-13).
For Roman Catholic Christmas, Jokic played solidly against Phoenix, scoring 25 points with 15 rebounds, but the rest of the team failed and the Nuggets were defeated.
The same was the case last night against the Cavaliers, he recorded a triple-double with 27 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists, but even that was not enough to win (135:149).
It’s not that the rest of the team played badly, Murray scored 27 points, Porter 18, but the defense was at a very poor level and they allowed the Cavaliers as many as 149 points.
Today, the Nuggets face Detroit, a young team full of talent, which this year is playing much better games than the previous season and with a score of 14-17, it occupies the places that lead to the play-offs in the East.
Denver’s problem may be fatigue because they played last night unlike Detroit, but even so, they must not allow themselves another setback and a third consecutive defeat, especially not in front of their fans in “Ball Arena”, which is traditionally a big advantage for them due to the altitude at which is located.
