The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will play Game 4 of their first-round playoff series on Saturday night (in California).

Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic delivered a fantastic pass in the first half that received a lot of attention on social media.

In his first 12 minutes of action, Jokic scored eight points, seven rebounds, and three assists on 3/6 shooting from the field and 0/1 from three points.

The All-Star big just finished another fantastic regular season in which he shot 35.9% from three-point range and 58.3% from the field in 79 games, averaging 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.

He will have a great opportunity to capture his third MVP Award.

With a win on Saturday, the Nuggets will have a 3-0 lead over the Lakers and will have completed a series sweep.

The Nuggets most recently defeated the Lakers 112-105 (in Game 3 on Thursday).

In 39 minutes of action, Jokic finished with 24 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, and a 9/13 shooting and 0/1 three-point shooting percentage.

If the Lakers win, Monday night in Denver would be Game 5 of the series.

In the second round, the winner of the series will play the Phoenix Suns or the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Nuggets have triumphed in all 11 of their prior meetings with the Lakers.
