The Nuggets are no slouches themselves in 2024-25, however, as they enter the weekend with a 41-22 win and winners of back-to-back contests. Most recently, Denver defeated the Phoenix Suns in an overtime thriller, coming out on top 149-141 behind a historic Nikola Jokic stat line. On Friday night, the Serbian big man became the first player in NBA history to post a 30/20/20 stat line when he finished the victory with 31 points, 21 rebounds and 22 assists.
