The Denver Nuggets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 113-106 behind the superstar performance of Nikola Jokic and key two-way play of Torrey Craig. Jokic had 27 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals, doing everything for the Nuggets, even though he struggled to hit shots late. Craig was massively important, hitting three of his six three-pointers, grabbing 10 rebounds, and getting a key stop on Jrue Holiday late. Zion Williamson was impressive in his second professional game, but the Nuggets survived his athletic exploits in a key road win.
