Without Jokic, the Denver Nuggets are on pace to have the worst offensive efficiency in the history of the NBA. Read that sentence again…I’ll wait. So I have to play the team total under. Full disclosure, I was trying to find a way to incorporate my historical stat, and I hear Mike McClure mention the play.

Nikola Jokic (personal) will miss his third straight game for the Nuggets. The first game that he missed, the Nuggets lost by seven points to a Pelicans team that has been hammered by injuries. Then they lost by 15 points to the Grizzlies on Sunday. With Jokic out and both Desmond Bane and Vince Williams back for the Grizzlies, the Nuggets could be looking at another lopsided loss.
