NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking Points from Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks 

#2 Paul Millsap comes up big on the offensive end of the floor

Paul Millsap plays power forward for the Nuggets.

Millsap has really played a prominent role in the Nuggets' surge to dominance in the West. Coming off an impressive 23-point performance against the T-Wolves, the 33-year-old put together his season-high total in a game that was not for the Nuggets' taking.

Despite Jokic's miraculous buzzer beater getting all the attention, it will be unfair to ignore the fact that it was Paul's hefty contribution throughout the night that put his team in a position to win in the first place.

"That's what we need him (Jokic) to do. He's been doing it for us all year," teammate Paul Millsap said. "He's got my vote for MVP, for sure."

Millsap finished with 33 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal, shooting 14-of-19 from the floor in the 36 minutes he was on the court.
