Draymond Green on Nikola Jokic: “When I’m guarding him, I’m also playing chess”

Draymond Green expects Nikola Jokic to bring even bigger challenge for him in Game 2 of the series after the Nuggets lost the first encounter.

The Serbian center, who is the reigning NBA MVP and is among the three remaining candidates to win this year’s award, scored 25 points along with 10 rebounds and 6 assists in Game 1.

“I feel like he’s going to try and come out and give me 40, 15 and 15 next game…,” Green said about Jokic, per Harrison Wind. “He’s pissed off and he’s coming back with vengeance tomorrow.”

“He’s the MVP for a reason. He’s possibly the MVP again, we don’t know yet, for a reason…” the three-time NBA champion continued. “When I’m guarding him, I’m also playing chess. It’s a lot of different games within the game that you have to play against a guy that’s that smart.”
