The back-to-back MVP is in the middle of an unbelievably good season.

He is averaging a triple-double (25.0 points, 11.1 rebounds and 10.1 assists per contest) and shooting 63.2% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range.  

There is a very good case to be made that Jokic should win his third straight MVP Award in 2023. 

In addition to his individual success, the Nuggets have been outstanding, with a 36-16 record in 52 games.

They are the first seed in the Western Conference and 24-4 in 28 games at home.

Over the last ten games, the Nuggets are 7-3, and they are in the middle of a two-game winning streak.

Last season, they dealt with injuries and lost in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

There is enough talent on the roster for them to make a deep run in the postseason (if they can stay healthy).

As for the Hawks, they are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 27-26 record in 52 games.

They are 6-4 in their last ten games and in the middle of a two-game winning streak.

On the road, the Hawks are 14-15 in the 29 games they have played away from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
