The Denver Nuggets defeated the Orlando Magic 125 - 112 Tuesday at Pepsi Center . It was a wire - to - wire victory for the Nuggets ( 17 - 23 ) , who have now won two in a row after a five - game losing streak . They were led by a monster performance from big man Nikola Jokic , who posted a game - high 30 points on 13 - of - 19 shooting , 11 rebounds , five assists and three steals in 36 minutes . The performance was Jokic 's first 30 - point game of the regular season and his third double - double in as many games . Emanuel Mudiay added a double - double of his own , recording 18 points and a game - high 13 assists in 37 minutes , while Kenneth Faried played a wildly efficient game offensively as the team 's starting power forward , posting 20 points on 10 - of - 12 shooting from the field . Overall as a team , Denver had a field day shooting the ball , as the Nuggets finished Monday 's game shooting 58 percent from the field . As for the Magic ( 17 - 26 ) , they have now lost two games in a row and six of their last seven . They were once again led by point guard Elfrid Payton , who has now put together a great three - game stretch . After posting 20 points , 12 rebounds and four assists in Monday 's contest , he is now averaging 22 points , 9 assists and 6 rebounds over his last three contests . Overall for Orlando , the problem was n't offense . They shot 50 percent from the field en route to posting their third straight total over 100 points and had seven different players score in double figures . Again , it was their lackluster defensive effort that made things too easy for the Nuggets offensively Monday . Up next , the Nuggets will look for their third straight win against the Lakers on Tuesday , while the Magic will look to turn things around in New Orleans on Wednesday . Following the Nuggets victory over the Magic on Monday , a pair of performances from two young players in the league stood out . First , for Denver , Nikola Jokic posted 30 points , 11 rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes . That performance was his third consecutive double - double and yet another great performance to Jokic 's hot start to the new year . In the five games he 's played in January so far , Jokic is averaging 22 points , 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game . For the Magic , it was Elfrid Payton who shined , recording 20 points , 12 assists and four rebounds to notch his second double - double in January . Payton has been playing his best basketball of the season over the last three games , as he is averaging 22 points , 9 assists and 6 rebounds 34 minutes in those three contests .
