Denver Nuggets vs Indiana Pacers key stats
The Denver side have gone slightly under the radar. After a slow-ish start to the season, they have quietly climbed up the standings to fourth place. They have won seven of their opening ten games this campaign, winning four of their last five. They are currently in terrific form after winning their third consecutive game against the Spurs 115-109. Nikola Jokic was once again the difference maker for the Denver outfit, putting up game-high numbers.
Jokic has been on a tear this season, going for his third straight MVP title. In their win against the Spurs, Jokic led his side in scoring, assists and rebounds. He put up 26 points, eight assists and 10 rebounds on the night, on 55% shooting from the floor. This season, he is averaging nearly a 20-point triple double on 70% true shooting. He is well on his way to yet another crack at the MVP title after winning it two seasons in a row. He has been one of the main reasons for the early success that the Denver outfit has had this season.

The Pacers have picked up hot form recently, winning four of their last five games. They will come into this game on the back of a two-game win streak, the latest of which came against the New Orleans Pelicans, winning 129-122. In that win, it was a monstrous performance by Myles Turner, who was, no pun intended, turning a lot of heads towards his game. He has gained a lot of traction over the off-season, among trade rumors to the Lakers. He has been excellent for the Pacers this season as they improved to a 5-5 record following a great run of results. He scored 37 points against the Pelicans going 61% from the floor.
He and Tyrese Haliburton have been the stars for the Pacers this season. Turner is averaging 18 points and eight rebounds per game, while Haliburton is averaging a team-high 21 points, 10 assists and five rebounds per game thus far. Their performances have proved pivotal for the Pacers winning five of their opening 10 games.
