Scoring has been climbing as of late, but this year the stat inflation has revealed itself in a more subtle way.

Two years after he won an NBA title, Nikola Jokić views the surging New York Knicks as a 'top-5 candidate' to end their 52-year championship drought.

The Thunder and Cavaliers continue to earn straight A's, while the Pelicans and Wizards may need to stay after school.

Jokic's Nuggets went 0-2 against the Knicks this season, and the three-time MVP was a shocking non-factor in both losses.
