Nikola Jokic turns in a double-double for Nuggets in victory over Thunder
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 15 points with 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal on 7-of-16 field goals and 1-of-5 3-pointers in 27.9 minutes of Thursday's 102-94 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
It wasn't as impressive as Tuesday's 41-point outing, but it was Jokic's sixth double-double of the season. Perhaps most impressive is that he's added some range to his repertoire and is shooting 41.3 percent (19-of-46) on 3-pointers through the first 11 games. Expect the big man to keep it rolling against the Orlando Magic on Saturday.
numberFire's models projected Jokic to score 44.0 FanDuel points on Thursday, but he finished with only 32.7.
