Records another triple-double Jokic finished with 32 points (12-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, 15 assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 win over the Rockets.

Impact Jokic dished out 15 assists despite the return of Jamal Murray to the starting unit, so it's clear who's the primary playmaker for Denver. The star big man continues to dazzle every time he steps on the court, and the best way to translate his dominance is the fact that he's already racked up seven triple-doubles and 10 double-doubles in 18 appearances.

Suiting up Wednesday Jokic (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Jokic will return from a one-game absence with back soreness for Wednesday's tilt. He'll likely supplant DeAndre Jordan in the first five. Over his last three outings, Jokic is averaging 35.7 points, 14.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 3.0 steals/blocks across 37.6 minutes.

Listed as questionable Jokic (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup versus the Rockets.

Impact Jokic missed his first game of the season Monday due to lower back pain and is listed as questionable for a second straight game. Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (heel) are also questionable, so at the moment, it's unclear what the Nuggets' rotation will look like. If Jokic is sidelined again, DeAndre Jordan, Zeke Nnaji and Peyton Watson would be candidates for increased roles.

Several surprises play their way into early season MVP discussion with the usual suspects

There are a few surprises who have played their way into the early season MVP conversations, joining the list usual list of NBA stars that includes Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ruled out Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Clippers.

Impact Jokic has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game of the season. The MVP candidate is coming off three straight games with at least 30 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, so this may be a case of Denver simply being cautious during the second night of a back-to-back set. Jokic's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Houston. Aaron Gordon (heel) is also out, so the Nuggets' frontcourt will be extremely shorthanded, forcing Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan and Peyton Watson into major roles.

Questionable for Monday Jokic is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to lower back pain.

Impact Jokic played through a probable tag Sunday against the Spurs with this same injury, finishing with 39 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes. The questionable tag for Monday could possibly mean he's dealing with more soreness or simply that the Nuggets are considering holding him out as a precaution. If Jokic is unable to play, we could see more of Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan.

Comes close to triple-double Jokic ended Sunday's 132-120 win over the Spurs with 39 points (17-29 FG, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 34 minutes.

Impact Jokic was dominant on both ends of the court and led the Nuggets to an easy win while ending one assist from a triple-double -- it was the fourth time this happened to the star big man in 2023-24. Number of triple-doubles aside, Jokic remains an elite fantasy contributor regardless of the opponent and the format, and managers should continue to expect big things from him every time he steps on the court, but even more so while Jamal Murray (hamstring) remains out.

Nikola Jokic Was One Assists Away From A Triple-Double vs Spurs! | November 26, 2023

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Available Sunday Jokic (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Jokic was probable for Sunday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising that he'll be able to suit up despite his back pain. He's posted double-doubles in 15 of 16 appearances this year and is averaging 28.2 points, 13.5 points and 8.9 assists in 33.8 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Sunday Jokic is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Spurs due to low back pain.

Impact Jokic has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Sunday despite dealing with back pain. In the last nine games since Jamal Murray (hamstring) went out, Jokic is averaging 28.8 points, 14.1 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 rebounds in 33.8 minutes.

Nikola Jokic's UNREAL Performance In NBA In-Season Tournament! 🏆 | November 24, 2023

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Triple-double not enough in Orlando Jokic contributed 30 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 124-119 loss to the Magic.

Impact It's the sixth triple-double in 15 games this season for Jokic, but the Nuggets' lack of bench scoring ultimately did them in. The perennial MVP candidate has at least a double-double in every full game he's played in 2023-24 -- the only exception came Monday, when he was ejected after 15 minutes -- but Wednesday's performance was the first time he's recorded multiple blocks and steals in the same contest. With Jamal Murray (hamstring) potentially not back until next week, Jokic's usage should remain high in the short term, even by his elite standards.
