The two-time MVP is in the middle of another outstanding season with averages of 24.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 10.1 assists per contest.

He is also shooting 63.2% from the field and 38.5% from the three-point range. 

Right now, the Nuggets are the best team in the Western Conference, with a 37-16 record in 53 games. 

They are in the middle of a three-game winning streak and are 7-3 in their last ten games.

At home, the Nuggets have been remarkable, with a 25-4 record in the 29 games they have hosted in Denver, Colorado. 

However, they are just 12-12 in the 24 games they have played on the road. 

With the way Jokic (and the Nuggets) have played as a whole, there is an excellent chance he could end up winning his third MVP Award in a row. 

As for the Timberwolves, they are tied with the Golden State Warriors for the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 28-27 record in 55 games. 

They are 6-4 in their last ten games and a very solid 19-12 in the 31 games they have hosted at home in Minnesota. 

Last season, both teams lost in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
