What were Nikola Jokic’s stats in the Nuggets vs. Kings game?

Jokic set an early season-high for himself with 35 points, adding 15 rebounds and seven assists on the night in the win.

Domantas Sabonis and Drew Eubanks led the Kings in scoring with 19 points each, followed by DeMar DeRozan’s 18 points and Russell Westbrook’s 14.

The win was a primetime NBA on NBC showcase moment for Jokic, 30, one of the hottest stars in the NBA right now. Jokic is in his 11th season with the Nuggets, proving himself as one of the most dominant centers in the league. One of the only balls that didn’t fall for Jokic on the night was a buzzer beater half-court shot at halftime, which went just a bit right of the rim as the buzzer hit zero.
