Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nikola Jokic scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (27.7 vs 27.6), on Antetokounmpo's heavier usage (35.8% vs 28.9%).

Jokic is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.0% to 65.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jokic (10.7 vs 5.4 assists), the glass to Jokic (12.9 vs 9.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jokic played 29 more games (65 vs 36 of 82).

With Jokic on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.8 per 100 possessions, against +4.4 for Antetokounmpo; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Antetokounmpo $58.5M through 2027-28, Jokic $59.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
