Nuggets' Nikola Jokic scores 4, benched for entire fourth quarter
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored four points before being benched for the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 118-107 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Jokic's four points were a season-low as he struggled to hit 2-of-9 shots in under 26 minutes. He was 0-for from three and from the line yet added nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block. Clearly, Paul Millsap's return is influencing the center's role. As for the benching, there's no justifying it, with the Nuggets fighting for a playoff spot out West.
At a cost of $9,700, Jokic is projected for 46.6 FanDuel points in tonight's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
