Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Extends triple-double streak
Rotowire
Jokic generated 21 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 28 minutes of Wednesday's 122-88 win over the Pelicans.
Jokic has now amassed a triple-double in four straight games to open the season, and while his rebound and assist totals didn't go far into double figures, snaring a triple-double in just 28 minutes is quite a feat. The center had played 32 or more minutes in his first three games of the season. Jokic had two triple-double streaks of at least four games last year, with one ending at four and one stopping after five.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Emphatic triple-double in win
Rotowire
Jokic accumulated 25 points (9-10 FG, 7-7 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes in Monday's 127-114 win over the Timberwolves.
Jokic was wicked Monday, missing just one shot from the field while pacing all players with 19 rebounds and 10 assists. The superstar center has now posted a triple-double in each of the Nuggets' first three games after racking up 34 during the regular season last year. As impressive as this start has been for the three-time MVP, he's yet to fully showcase his elite scoring touch, suggesting even bigger performances could be on the horizon.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Records triple-double in OT loss
Rotowire
Jokic produced 21 points (8-23 FG, 2-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors.
Jokic looked on as teammate Aaron Gordon dropped a stellar 50 points during the OT defeat, but Jokic still propped up the squad with one of his usual triple-doubles in the opener. Although Jokic can carry a team on his own, his job is much easier when role players like Gordon put in solid performances.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Strong showing in limited minutes
Rotowire
Jokic produced 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 preseason win over the Clippers.
The perennial MVP candidate came within sniffing distance of a triple-double even with a reduced preseason workload. This season, Jokic has perhaps the best backup he's seen in a long while in Jonas Valanciunas, which could allow the Nuggets to scale back his regular-season workload a bit after he averaged a career-high 36.7 minutes a contest in 2024-25. Even if his minutes drop back into the 33-34 range, Jokic should remain a nightly triple-double threat and the clear top fantasy asset in the game.

Jokic compiled 17 points (5-5 FG, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 preseason win over Toronto.
Jokic was perfect from the field during the win. We should continue to see limited minutes from the All-Star during the preseason to keep him fresh and healthy for the regular season. The perennial MVP candidate is expected to have another monster season ahead, with triple-double performances setting the gold standard for multi-category producers in the league.

Rotowire
Jokic accumulated 44 points (17-25 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 44 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Limited impact in Game 2
Rotowire
Jokic ended with 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 149-106 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Posting a 17-8-6-1-1 line before fouling could be considered a solid showing for most players around the league, but it's a subpar effort for Jokic, who averaged a triple-double in the regular season and the first-round series against the Clippers. This 17-point output was the third time over Jokic's last five games in which he didn't reach the 20-point mark. The Nuggets need him to bounce back in Game 3 of the series Friday in Denver.

Jokic endured a slow start and went 0-for-5 in the first quarter, but he made six of his nine shots the rest of the way while also displaying his usual influence as a rebounder and passer.
