The Bucks were sensational from three-point range, going 16-for-28 on the night. Oddly enough, they attempted just five free throws in the victory, hitting three of them. Gianni Antetokounmpo (10/11/10) recorded a triple-double over 36 minutes played in the low-scoring contest. The Hornets played without Kemba Walker, who sat out to r

The Blazers won on a ridiculous last-second play. All 13 Spurs players played over 12 minutes in the close battle. With their eighth seed clinched, Portland rested both Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, which opened the door for Shabazz Napier (32/6/5) to have the game of his l

Anthony Davis. Giannis Antetokounmpo. Kristaps Porzingis. Joel Embiid. Karl-Anthony Towns.These are just some of the few names that some to mind when thinking of the NBA’s top young player.However, in recent weeks, someone else has provided a glimpse of his sky-high potential and he’s not one of the players listed above.The player: Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets.And his potential trumps every one of the players above. On the season, the Serbian sensation has posted 16.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game over 26.6 minutes per contest, but it’s what he’s done recently that’s raised some eyebrows.The 21-year-old, 6’10" big man has been phenomenal over the last seven games, averaging 22.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 30.9 minutes per contest.On Friday, he had his major coming out party at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks. In that game, he scored 40 points on 17-of-23 shooting to go along with nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes.A day later against the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, he scored 27 points on 9-of-18 shooting along with 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.For someone who lost his starting job early in the season as Nuggets head coach Mike Malone opted to place him lower on the depth chart, his ascension has been riveting.In that game, he posted 27 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists with relative ease.
