Nikola Jokic`s Dominance Amid Nuggets` Struggles

Nikola Jokic continues to set the NBA ablaze with his unprecedented performance, despite the Denver Nuggets' struggles to maintain a strong standing in the Western Conference. As of December 19, 2024, Jokic is averaging a career-high 31.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game, while shooting an impressive 56.4 percent from the field.

The Nuggets, currently 12-10, are clinging to the seventh seed in the highly competitive Western Conference. Jokic's dominance has been a beacon of hope, but the team's weakened supporting cast has hindered their overall performance. Recent games have highlighted Jokic's incredible form, including a 48-point performance against the Atlanta Hawks, where he also added 14 rebounds and eight assists.

Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas has expressed his opinion that Jokic's greatness might be hurting the Nuggets, as the team's reliance on him has not translated into better team results. The Nuggets are exploring trade options to bolster their roster, including potential deals for sharpshooting forwards and other key players to support Jokic.

In their upcoming games, the Nuggets face significant challenges, including a matchup against the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Clippers. Jokic's historic season, where he is averaging a triple-double for the first time, continues to spark conversations about his place among the all-time great big men in the NBA.
