4 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 16 first-quarter points in Thursday's win at Minnesota, finishing the night with a game-high 31 points on 14-for-21 shooting. He pulled down 14 rebounds and dished out four assists with one steal, one block and two turnovers. The Joker has now gone for 30-plus points in five of his seven outings this month. Friday's matchup against Detroit is a wonderful spot to do it again, but head coach Mike Malone might decide to rest his star man with not much left to play for anymore.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
