Jokic looking like an all-star
Despite the loss, Nikola Jokic still played a solid all-around game the other night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He contributed 12 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists. He only shot 31.3 percent from the field, zero percent from three-point line, and 50 percent from the Free Throw Line. Nikola Jokic has been nothing less but spectacular in his preseason games. If he can continue to play like this once the season begins, he may find himself part of the all-star conversation this upcoming NBA season.
Will Barton showcases offensive skills
Will Barton led the Denver Nuggets in scoring last night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He contributed 26 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block in 30 minutes of gameplay. He went 9-18 from the field, 4-6 from beyond the arc, and 4-5 from the charity stripe.

Paul George does a bit of everything
