Nikola Jokic is the best basketball player on the planet. But even the best sometimes have an off night. The issue for Jokic is that even his off nights still look pretty good, masking some of the troubles. But he's had a problem protecting the rock at times since his wrist 'injury' popped up, and it was on full display in the 120-113 win over the rival Los Angeles Lakers.
Jokic tied a season-high with nine turnovers. He was sloppy at times, and as a whole, the Nuggets committed 18 turnovers, leading to 26 Lakers points.
