The Nuggets dropped their third straight game this season to the Kings, losing 119-114 in a game where their depth was tested.
Nikola Jokic finished with a massive double-double, setting a new career high with 50 points to go with 12 assists. Unfortunately, the next highest point total was 14 points from Millsap, and that scoring production wasn’t enough to put away Sacramento in the Saturday matinee game.
The Kings had a huge game from their rookie Tyrese Haliburton, who had 23 points and six assists, and was huge for his team in the fourth quarter. Harrison Barnes, Richaun Holmes, and De’Aaron Fox all had over 20 points as well in the team’s third straight win.
