Ryan’s King of the Court Pick for Wednesday, November 6: Nikola Jokic
After starting the year 0-2, the Denver Nuggets have won four of their last five games. A big part of their resurgence has been the high level that their star center, Nikola Jokic, has been playing at.
Throughout his career, the three-time MVP has always affected the game in many ways. That is why he is a perfect pick for King of the Court. Jokic has totaled over 40 points, rebounds, and assists in all seven games this season and scored 50 or more in five of the previous six games. He is a machine at filling up the stat sheet.
The Nuggets face the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time in the season tonight. The first meeting between the two teams was in the season’s first game. The Thunder won that matchup by 15 points, and it was Jokic’s lowest total of PTs, REBs, and ASTs this season. Jokic only scored 16 points, along with 13 assists and 12 rebounds in that contest. Jokic is primed for a big performance against the Thunder in the rematch.
This season, Jokic is averaging the most points in his career with 29.6 per game. Jokic has the second-best odds to be the King of the Court leader for Wednesday’s NBA slate. He is +340 and is only behind Luka Doncic (+290) on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Yesterday, it was announced that the Nuggets will now be without PF Aaron Gordon for a few weeks due to a right calf strain. Although that will hurt the Nuggets’ offense, as he is averaging 15.4 points a game, it means that more opportunities are available. Jokic is attempting nearly two more field goals per game this season, and look for that number to increase without Gordon.
