Nuggets have real depth. Still a few people out, but it looks like the worst is over in terms of injuries.
Jokic is looking thicc and definitely gained weight when he was out, but he still put up superstar numbers on his first night back. More proof that his basketball intelligence is so good that he doesn't need extreme athleticism to perform at MVP levels.
OKC apparently had an easy schedule at the beginning of the season, but at this point it's feasible that they can drop out of the top spot. If that happens and Jokic stays healthy, strong argument for another Jokic MVP (although still probably unlikely).
