After an one-game suspension, Nikola Jokic returned with a monster performance to lead the Denver Nuggets past the Philadelphia 76ers (126-110).
The Joker finished the game with 32 points (12/22 shooting), 18 rebounds and 10 assists to record his seventh triple-double of the season.
Denver never trailed in the game and led by as many as 18 points to rally past the 76ers, who played without Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler, due to injuries.
The Nuggets’ starting point guard, Jamal Murray, also missed the game, due to a left ankle sprain.
Five more players scored in double figures for the winners, with Mason Plumlee having 17 points.
JJ Redick led the losing squad with 22 points, as Corey Brewer added 20 and Ben Simmons 19.
Denver improved to 33-15, whereas Philadelphia dropped to 32-18.
