With Nikola Jokic going down with a knee injury and expected to miss at least a month, the first inclination may be to heap even more onto the plate of Jamal Murray. Murray is currently the only healthy starter and has been having an exceptional year, averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and assists per game on outstanding efficiency.
But as great as Murray has looked, the team needs to be careful not to push it. Jamal is operating on another level, clearly in the best shape of his career, and bringing superstar consistency to the floor on a nightly basis.
