Nikola Jokić

Denver's two-time MVP has mastered the art of seeing the floor before anyone else can even process what's developing. Facing elimination at home in Game 5 against Minnesota, the Serbian superstar spots Christian Braun cutting to the rim and delivers a precise pass for the easy finish. This assist was part of a masterful 27-point, 16-assist, 12-rebound triple-double performance that helped the Nuggets avoid elimination with a commanding 125-113 victory to cut their series deficit to 3-2.
