Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets set for late game on NBC

Sacramento Kings vs. Denver Nuggets Preview

The Sacramento Kings aim to avoid a slow 3-8 start to their season as they face the Denver Nuggets at Golden 1 Center on Tuesday night.

Nikola Jokic's Dominant Season

Nikola Jokic has continued his remarkable performance with six triple-doubles in nine games, following a career-best 34 triple-doubles last season. His latest effort came on Saturday when the Nuggets defeated the Indiana Pacers 117-100 for their fourth consecutive win.

“I think we should be talking about the efficiency numbers,” Nuggets coach David Adelman said. “He’s the most efficient basketball player I’ve ever seen. And I know there’s guys way back in the past I didn’t get to see play, but for me, in this modern generation of basketball, please show me who else is out there that plays like this at this efficient level offensively. It’s a joy to watch, and by the way, he did all that in 31 minutes. I’ll keep saying, just enjoy this. You know, while you get to have it.”
