Nikola Jokic drops a triple-double Monday as Nuggets win again
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 15 points on 5-for-14 shooting, to go with 20 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in a 88-82 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
The win for the Nuggets is their sixth in a row, but they are still on the outside looking in at the playoffs currently. Denver is going to need some help to make the playoffs, but they have to closeout the season with a win to keep their hopes alive. They will try for a seventh straight victory on Wednesday in a huge game against another team in need of a win to stay in the playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Our early models for Wednesday project Jokic for 43.1 FanDuel points.
