Nikola Jokic Narrowly Misses Triple-Double In Nuggets Win
7 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had a pretty bad shooting night on Thursday against Minnesota, as he shot just 6-for-20 from the field, but that didn't stop him from flirting with a triple-double. The Joker finished with 14 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists, adding one steal and one block to his stat line as well. All of his previous misses were forgiven when he tipped in a shot late in the game, which pretty much wrapped up an important win for Denver. The Nuggets are chasing down the final playoff spot in the West and Jokic is getting a lot of heavy minutes because of that, as he's averaged nearly 40 in the last the five games and when he's on the court, there's always a chance he does something fantasy-relevant.
