Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 17 points with 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, and 2 turnovers on 7-of-14 field goals (1-of-2 3-pointers) and 2-of-3 free throws in a 125-95 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
With Paul Millsap (wrist) on the shelf, Jokic should thrive while carrying more of the load on offense. The Nuggets face the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.
Jokic scored 35.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he's averaging 39.6 FanDuel points on the season.
