3 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic erupted for an enormous night of production in Thursday's loss to Golden State, compiling 37 points, 18 rebounds, and five assists across his 38 minutes. The 37 points tied for the fourth most in Jokic's playoff career, as he shot 14-for-22 overall and knocked down his first two triples of the series. Even his defensive activity was up, as he added three steals to his gargantuan all-around performance. Yet, Denver will need even more from their MVP candidate if they're to climb out of a 3-0 series hole, which bodes well for Jokic's DFS appeal in Game 4 on Sunday. The 27-year-old has recorded a double-double in six consecutive playoffs outings and in 10 straight outings dating back to the regular season, giving him a stable floor despite his sizable expectations.--Jesse Borek
