Nikola Jokic Posts Eighth Triple-Double Of The Season
6 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic rolled up 20 points with 13 rebounds and 10 assists for his eighth triple-double of the season in Wednesday's 105-99 victory against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was a solid 9-for-16 from the floor while going 2-for-2 from the free-throw line, and he added three steals and two blocked shots in his 37 minutes while posting a game-best plus-17 rating. Six of his triple-doubles have come in the month of January, as he is averaging 25.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists in 15 games. He'll try to keep it rolling in Friday's showdown against James Harden and the Rockets in the Mile High City.
