Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 25 points (10-of-18 field goals, 5-of-6 free throws) with 19 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 turnovers in 34.2 minutes of a 124-98 Game 5 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Jokic likely would have had his first career postseason 20-20 if he didn't foul out in the fourth quarter. The 19 boards tied the Nuggets' playoff single-game record. Game 6 will be played in Portland on Thursday.
Jokic finished with 53.8 FanDuel points in Game 5.
