Nikola Jokic continues to make the extraordinary look routine, and this matchup sets up well for another big playmaking night. The Suns are still searching for answers in the frontcourt, ranking near the bottom of the league in rebounding and defensive efficiency while struggling to handle skilled bigs. That's a dangerous combination against the best passing center in basketball. Jokic is coming off his 200th career triple-double, is averaging nine assists per game, and now faces a Phoenix team that will likely have to send extra help his way. Every double team creates another passing opportunity, and with Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Denver's shooters benefiting from the attention Jokic draws, the path to double-digit assists is clear.
