The son of NBA legend Manute Bol, he put up 16 points, 10 rebounds, and six blocks in the Nuggets' 89-82 win over the Wizards.

Denver All-Star Nikola Jokic had 16 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in the win.

In another game, the New Orleans Pelicans routed the Brooklyn Nets, 99-68, despite missing rookie star Zion Williamson. Brandon Ingram put up 12 points in the win.
