January Budweiser Nugget of the Month Winner: Nikola Jokić

Nikola Jokiu0107 had a monstrous January.

The Denver Nuggets center Jokiu0107 averaged 25.1 points on 52. 5 percent shooting from the field, to go along with 11.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. He also put up six triple-doubles, breaking a franchise record, previously held by legendary guard Fat Lever while leading his team a to 12-4 record to maintain the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

To top it off, he earned his first all-star nod, being tapped as a reserve in the annual exhibition set for Feb. 17 in Charlotte, Thursday afternoon. So, there’s no surprise fans voted the 7-foot Serbian as the Budweiser Nugget of the Month for the second-straight time, besting starting point guard Jamal Murray and reserve shooting guard Malik Beasley for the honor.
