What happened: Kevin O'Connor characterized Nikola Jokic's play as an underwhelming start on The Kevin O'Connor Show. The remarks surfaced after Jokic posted 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists in Denver's 123-118 win over Memphis.
Why it matters: Denver is 6-4 through 10 games in 2026-27, holding the 10th seed. Roster depth has drawn attention following an offseason move where an O'Connor analysis noted the Watson trade left Denver thinner around Jokic.
By the numbers: Nikola Jokic: 27 PTS, 11 REB, 8 AST in Denver's 123-118 win at Memphis. Denver Nuggets: 6-4 through 10 games in 2026-27 (seed 10).
What to watch: Denver aims to extend its one-game winning streak as regular-season play continues.
