Our stats man put together this table. Unreal.
Nuggets are one of the best shooting teams. Guys shoot better when the pass comes from Jokic - he always gets them the ball in remarkable situations to be successful. Millsap, Morris, Dozier, Barton all have higher percentages.

Jokic has started the season 16-for-16 with double-doubles. 5th time that's been done in NBA.
If he records a double-double tonight, that will pass Moses Malone. 17 in a row to start a season will rank 3rd since the merger.
He'll be chasing Bill Walton - 34 & Giannis -19

Finally, apparently Basketball Reference has an MVP tracker. They claim it is correct in predicting the MVP 67% of the time. The 4 factors it takes into consideration: team wins, points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game.
Right now Nikola Jokic is in the lead, 44.7%.
