Joel Embiid has surpassed Nikola Jokic as the MVP favorite at FanDuel. Embiid is +250. Jokic is +275. This is the first book I’ve seen moved Embiid ahead of Jokic all season. I imagine the others will get there by tomorrow morning. – 9:46 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Peyton Watson about Nikola Jokic and the commercials: “I think that we really share a bond and our chemistry is just continuing to increase game by game, so being able to do stuff like that with him off the court is special.” – 9:45 PM

Final Rotations for the Nuggets as they defeat the Raptors 113-104.
Nikola Jokic: 31-15-6 with 2 blocks, 13/23 FG, 3/5 3P
Jamal Murray: 20 points, 6 assists, 3 stocks

‘Topes lose. 113-104.
Barnes with 30/10/5. Nice night from Precious with 13 and 5 off bench. Jokic with 31/15/6, Murray with 20/6/4, Nuggets never truly sweat. – 9:39 PM

Nikola Jokic finally scores 30+ points against the Raptors. He’s now scored 30+ against every NBA team. – 9:37 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Oh my god Joker. Play of the night. – 9:36 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Jokic practically volleyball-sets in a 3-pointer to beat shot clock, and that’ll about do it. – 9:36 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Raptors had Denver’s 21-point lead down to 5. Nuggets have scored on 4 straight possessions since (Jokic, Murray, MPJ 3, Jokic), and the lead is back up to 12 with 3+ minutes left. A fake comeback if I’ve ever seen one. – 9:28 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Nuggets lead got down to five, and I can’t accurately describe how casually Murray and Jokic iced the game. – 9:27 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Jokic’s finishing around the rim hasn’t been up to the usual standard this season. – 9:20 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Raptors with 12 and Jokic and Murray sprint to the table to check back in – 9:16 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
It’s 90-75 Denver after 3. Jokic has 21/12/5, Barnes has 26/7/5. – 9:07 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Reading the game: Jokic posts Precious, doesn’t like it, flips ball out & re-posts on Precious. Flynn doubles, Jokic flips it out to for open three. Shot misses, but Nuggets get rebound. Jokic ends up w/ Flynn on him and now attacks instantly, scores, gets fouled, three points. – 9:05 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Nuggets by 20, 3:18 left in the thid. Jokic has 18p, 11r, 5a; Murray’s got 18p SIakam and Barnes living on Two Man Raptors Island – 9:01 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
Jokic just got three rebounds on the same play and is now five assists from a triple double. – 8:53 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
You know how there are about 2 million TV channels and streaming services and much of what they show is crap or repeats? Someone needs to start a 24-hour Nikola Jokic channel and I’d pay $10 a month just so I could watch it an hour or two a day and smile watching him play – 8:47 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Halftime Rotations for the Nuggets as they lead the Raptors 61-44.
Jamal Murray – 11 points on 11 shots, but he also has 3 stocks, defense has been great since getting attacked early
Nikola Jokic – 9-5-4 and I’m sure he’s thrilled, +19
Peyton Watson – 7-3-1-1-1 pic.twitter.com/md03rx2KrQ8:32 PM

Michael Grange @michaelgrange
61-44 Nuggets over Raptors. Denver coasting, mostly. Broke even in non-Jokic minutes and are otherwise +17. Murray with 11 on 5/11 shooting. Jokic with 9/5/4. Barnes with 18 for Toronto, Siakam with 12, Anunoby with 7, rest of roster: 5. – 8:31 PM
Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Nuggets up 61-44 at the break. Denver holds Toronto to 20 points in the first and 24 in the second.
Jamal Murray leads the Nuggets with 11 points. Aaron Gordon’s working with 10 and 5. Joker has 9-5-4.
Barnes leads all scorers with 18 for Toronto. – 8:31 PM

Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
The lead is 7 when Jokic comes back in the game and the energy in the game from all the Nuggets is high. I can’t ask for anything more. – 8:18 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
You need to be good and to be lucky to contend every year. Denver got as lucky as you can with Jokic, but also lucked into Murray dropping in his draft. Made smart deals (Gordon, KCP, etc.) and outstanding drafting late in first and beyond. Even survived dealing Gobert/Mitchell – 8:10 PM

Great opening quarter in Toronto, and the Reggie Jackson, Christian Braun, Julian Strawther, Peyton Watson, Nikola Jokic lineup continues to cook. Perfect blend of skill-sets, offense and defense, athleticism and experience with that group. Love watching them play together. – 8:06 PM

This Jokic + Bench lineup is seriously great.
Reggie orchestrates in PnR
CB and Peyton attack in transition
Strawther is liable to get hot at any time
All else fails, get the ball to the best player in the world. – 8:02 PM

You wouldn’t call it an electrifying start but there was the Jokic’s behind the back bounce pass out of the low post to the rim so that was a thing.

Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Both of Toronto’s meetings vs Denver last season came after the Poeltl trade, yet it was Anunoby who served as the primary defender on Jokic, and he did an admirable job on the 2-time MVP. Darko said they’ll mix up coverages tonight but indicated that OG will be involved. – 7:37 PM

Referee Mousa Dagher, who ejected Nikola Jokic in Chicago, has not officiated an NBA game since Dec. 13 (the day after Nuggets/Bulls). He’s not on the schedule for tonight’s game either. pic.twitter.com/CSdohyZqpd3:13 PM

Nick Wright @getnickwright
Having Shaq as the 5th best center in NBA history is pretty standard, in my opinion.
Kareem, Russell and Wilt have to be ahead of him.
Hakeem is an argument, but I lean Hakeem.
That puts Shaq 5th.
Moses is next up by any fair metric, but Shaq is ahead.
Jokic looming. – 12:28 PM
