The Denver Nuggets lead the Oklahoma City 2-1 in the Western Conference Semifinal round entering Sunday's game. Denver took Games 1 and 3 with OKC taking Game 2 in a 43-point blowout win. 

So far in the series, Nikola Jokic has played well, which isn't a surprise for the former NBA MVP. Here is how he played in the first three games of the series: 

  • Game 1: 42 points, 22 rebounds, six assists 
  • Game 2: 17 points, eight rebounds, six assists 
  • Game 3: 20 points, 16 rebounds, six assists. 

However, Jokic does have a total of 21 turnovers in three games, and he shot just 8-of-25 in the Game 3 loss. 

Well, Jokic changed things up ahead of Game 4 as he rocked a new haircut. 

Jokic also made waves ahead of Game 3 as he lived up to his Joker nickname by channeling even the Joker's outfit. 

As you can see, Jokic now trimmed his hair and even the goatee and beard a bit going into Game 4, and fans immediately posted that he is "locked in." 

"Even trimmed up the goatee?! It’s over," one fan replied

"I’m taking this as a sign he is locking in. We are getting a 40 point triple double masterpiece today," said another

The series goes back to OKC for Game 5, but Jokic's new look has fans attention.
