How The Nuggets Are SURIVING Without Nikola Jokic
About this episode
How are the Denver Nuggets staying afloat without Nikola Jokić? Harrison Wind & Brendan Vogt of the DNVR Nuggets podcast break down Denver’s 3–2 stretch with Jokić sidelined, powered by Jamal Murray’s playmaking takeover (including a career-high 17 assists) and Peyton Watson’s scoring surge. We also dig into how head coach David Adelman’s adjustments—and timely lifts from role players like Jalen Pickett and Zeke Nnaji—are helping Denver survive the non-Jokić minutes. Get the latest Nuggets analysis and what this stretch could mean for Denver’s playoff push once Jokić is back.
