On the final defensive possession of the half, Jokic was alone under the basket when Miami’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. drove to the hoop. Jokic stepped up to help teammate Spencer Jones, who was backpedaling.

Three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic suffered a "gut-wrenching" knee injury as the Denver Nuggets lost 147-123 at the Miami Heat.

Davion Mitchell is averaging a career-high 7.3 assists per game this season, and he's handed out at least eight assists in 15 of 30 games. The Heat will need to score plenty of points to keep up with Denver's potent offensive attack, so I'm betting Mitchell gets teammates involved early and often.
