Jokic is the only Nuggets starter with a negative plus/minus, but veteran point guard Russell Westbrook has stepped up in a huge way. The 2016-17 NBA MVP has put the Nuggets on his back for parts of the game, dropped 25 points, two steals, and two blocks on 10-20 shooting from the field.

After their win over the Kings, Murray had words about what he thought of the game, his teammates, and the team's good form. In a heartfelt statement, Murray praised Westbrook’s leadership and influence on the younger players.

Russell Westbrook called out NBA fans for not watching the Nuggets properly throughout the season but still being critical of them.
