Nikola Jokic - Big double-double against Brooklyn Jokic provided 31 points (12-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 122-117 win over the Nets.
Impact It's the second straight game in which Jokic has produced at least 30 points and 10 boards, and the double-double was his 25th of the season. The 28-year-old center has had a couple games in December in which early exits led to disappointing stat lines, but those are the only occasions in his last 15 contests in which he's scored fewer than 20 points. Over that stretch, Jokic is averaging 26.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.1 threes and 0.9 blocks.

Jamal Murray - Pours in 32 in Friday's win Murray closed Friday's 122-117 win over Brooklyn with 32 points (11-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 34 minutes.
Impact He just nipped Nikola Jokic's 31 points for the team lead, as Murray produced a new season-best scoring effort. The 26-year-old guard has played only 16 games due to hamstring and ankle injuries, but he appears to be finding his form in December, averaging 22.3 points, 4.6 assists, 3.8 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals through eight contests while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor, 46.8 percent from beyond the arc and 90.9 percent from the free-throw line.
