VIDEO: Nikola Jokic's genius volleyball-style assist to Christian Braun!

Denver Nuggets vs Cleveland Cavaliers is one of the premier games scheduled for this NBA Sunday. The Cavs want to cement their Friday night win with another victory in Mile High City. Nikola Jokic's team comes from two defeats in a row and comes to this game aiming for a win that could get them back to the second seed in the Western Conference.

The Nuggets are facing a rough stretch of games at this point of the season. With their secondary weapon sidelined because of injuries, the opponents are focusing strictly on Nikola Jokic, who's been amazing but has looked gassed at some points, handling way more defensive pressure on him. However, if his teammates begin scoring consistently, Joker will always be a threat, like in this case, with the assist to Christian Braun.

Jokic has Jarrett Allen on him, fronting him, but that's not a problem for the Finals MVP, who moves Allen slightly and then gets the space to receive. Mind: Allen is one of the NBA's best defenders. Knowing that Darius Garland is going to leave Braun open and come defend him, so he almost doesn't have to look at his teammate, hitting him with a gorgeous dime. It's amazing to watch Jokic make these kind of reads constantly in just seconds.
