Kings vs Nuggets NBA Preview
Jokic and the Nuggets face off against Sabonis and the Kings on Monday, and that specific head-to-head battle is what I want to target.
Jokic has had tremendous success against Sabonis.
He has averaged a triple double against him over the last few seasons with marks of 23.3 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 11.6 assists.
One thing we have seen from Jokic this season is he has taken a bit of a step back from a scoring perspective.
He seems more than willing to let everyone else get scoring opportunities while he distributes.
His scoring is down from 29.6 ppg to 20.4; however, his assists have climbed from 10.2 to 10.8 on 17.8 potentials.
As for the glass, he’s averaging 14.4 with a low of 12 to go with 22.6 rebound chances. The opportunities are there.
He has thrived in this familiar matchup against Sabonis.
I see no reason to deviate when they have gotten cooked on the glass by other bigs such as Ayton (15), Vucevic (14), and Hartenstein (14).
Jokic should be able to excel once again in this spot against the Kings.
