The host Denver Nuggets beat the Utah Jazz on Tuesday , 103 - 93 . Denver ( 19 - 25 ) has now won four in a row at home and has become one of the hottest teams in the West , due largely to the emergence of sophomore Nikola Jokic . The 21 - year - old center has been dominant since the start of the new year , and was effective once again on Tuesday despite Utah 's tough defensive frontcourt . Jokic scored 23 points and pulled down 11 rebounds and made a surprising impact on defense with two steals and three blocks . The young star 's scoring touch and elite passing was the backbone of a strong offensive effort for Denver . The team scored a combined 62 in the second and third quarter and finished the night shooting over 46 percent while dishing out 28 assists . Utah ( 29 - 18 ) , on the other hand , was not quite as hot on the offensive end . In particular , Gordon Hayward and George Hill , who typically form the crux of the Jazz offense , both struggled from the field . Hayward scored only nine points , while Hill went just 6 - of - 18 from the field . What was reassuring for Utah , however , was that forward Derrick Favors produced a strong performance . Favors , who has seen his season plagued by injuries thus far , led the Jazz with 18 points on 8 - of - 11 shooting and was responsible for a handful of key plays on defense . That said , Tuesday 's outing was likely one that Utah will be eager to forget ; the Jazz shot just 41 percent from the field as a team and were out - rebounded . The Nuggets will host the Suns on Thursday , while the Jazz will host the Lakers . 2017 has gotten off to a good start for Denver 's Nikola Jokic . The 21 - year - old is averaging over 23 points , 10 rebounds , and four assists per game in January . On Tuesday , he built on that stat line by once again leading the Nuggets in scoring and rebounding . Jokic posted 23 points , 11 rebounds , six assists , two steals , and three blocks against Utah . Denver saw an additional 17 points and seven assists from veteran point guard Jameer Nelson , who found himself starting in Emmanuel Mudiay 's stead . The Jazz , meanwhile , saw less dominant play from their stars . Forward Gordon Hayward scored only nine points , while point guard George Hill shot a dismal 6 - of - 18 . The two were major contributors to Utah 's 41 percent shooting from the field on the night . Forward Derrick Favors , however , scored an impressive 18 points on 8 - of - 11 shooting in just 25 minutes of play .
