Nikola Jokic had an incredibly impressive night against the Memphis Grizzlies, pushing the Denver Nuggets to victory and finishing with 47 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists. The Joker is solidifying his chances at the MVP this year and doing so in a resounding fashion.

With the injury to Jamal Murray, the Nuggets have leaned on him even more than usual and he has not disappointed.
