Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to a commanding 122-103 victory over the Utah Jazz, scoring 30 points and contributing significantly with 10 rebounds and seven assists. His explosive first quarter, where he netted 19 points, set the tone for the game.

Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. also made strong contributions, while the Jazz struggled without key players Lauri Markkanen and John Collins. Collin Sexton was the standout for Utah with 26 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome Denver's offensive prowess.
