4 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic flirted with a triple-double in a 115-103 win over the 76ers. Jokic scored 15 points with 12 assists and nine rebounds in just 29 minutes. It was a smaller line than his fantasy managers are used to, though still a fruitful one for fantasy purposes. Besides, Jokic wasn't needed much in the fourth quarter, as Denver held a commanding lead over the shorthanded 76ers. Jokic is in the early conversation for MVP- both real and fantasy- as he's averaged a triple-double through his first nine games with no signs of relenting. Up next is a Sunday matchup with the Knicks, who have played good defense so far, though they'll have their hands full with Jokic.--Tim Capurso
