Who is this team!? No Nikola Jokic, no problem for the Nuggets, who have now won four out of their last five games without the three-time MVP. On Tuesday night, they went into New Orleans and took down the Pelicans, 122-116, with five separate players scoring 16 points or more for the visitors.
Last season, when Jokic missed time, the Nuggets were lucky to have five different players crack the scoring column, but suddenly, we seem to be witnessing one of the deepest teams in the NBA. It stars with Jamal Murray, who was incredible again, and continues to play at an All-NBA level.
