When today’s Denver Nuggets are called, a player comes up in me. Nikola Jokic has been a top three player in the NBA for more than five years.
He is a triple League MVP and is on average a Triple-Double up to 49 games. Jokic’s is consistently enormously important for the gold clogs. However, they need their other star to appear and play well. When Jamal Murray is at his best, Denver is a difficult team to beat. Nikola Jokic and he proven that in the late season.
Jamal Murray has been playing at a high level since December 8
Michael Malone on Weeds: “Our season is two seasons. Before December 8 and after December 8 … … since December 8, just look at the statistics of Jamal Murray. And you can write about it because the statistics are great. “
22.8 ppg, 4 rpg, 6 APG, 49.5/39.8/91.5%. Nuggets 11-10 on December 8, 25-9 since then.

During their first 21 games of the 2024-25 season, the Nuggets were 11-10. The team has been 25-9 since 8 December. Denver has that at 36-19 to 55 games. They are only half a game back from second place in the Westen conference. During their 25-9 piece, PG Jamal Murray plays sensational. During his last 34 games, Murray is on average (22.8) points, (4.0) rebounds and (6.0) assists per game.
In addition, Murray (.495) percent get out of the field, (.398) percent from outside the bow and (.915) percent of the free thrill. By adding the raised production of Murray to the daily output of Nikola Jokic, Denver makes a scary team to cope with. Jamal Murray is known to reach a level in the late season.
During the Championship Run van Denver in 2023, Murray was on average (26.1) points and (7.1) assists per match. The 27-year-old is not far away from those figures during his last 34 games. Just before the All-Star break, Murray scored a career-high 55 points. He plays his best basketball of the season. Denver needs Murray to play in this way in the late season to make a championship run. Nikola Jokic cannot wear the entire workload during the play -offs. Jamal Murray is the key to the nuggets that go back to the NBA final.
