Nikola Jokic nearly misses triple-double Saturday for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored just 12 points on 3-for-8 shooting, but he added a season-high 17 rebounds, to go with 9 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block in a 125-107 win over the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Jokic didn't have much going on offense, but he was just one assist shy of a triple-double, and he was a monster on defense. Games like this show that Jokic doesn't need to score a ton to have a big fantasy day, and after a day off Sunday he and the Nuggets play the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday.
Our early models for Monday project Jokic for 40.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $9,500 against the Blazers.
