NBA Top Five Performances, March 12: Nikola Jokic's Triple Double Nearly Lifted the Denver Nuggets Over the Brooklyn Nets MVP candidate Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets had a monster night but came up just short against Mikal Bridges and the Brooklyn Nets

MARCH 13, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Triple-double not enough Sunday Jokic ended with 35 points (14-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 20 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact The perennial MVP candidate recorded his second straight triple-double and 27th of the season, but he missed a 15-foot jumper with five seconds left in the fourth quarter that might have given the Nuggets the win. Jokic hasn't missed a beat since the All-Star break, averaging 24.2 points, 14.8 boards, 9.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 threes over the last nine games.

Triple-doubles in surprising defeat Jokic posted 37 points (14-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 128-120 loss to the Spurs.

Impact For the first time this season, the Nuggets lost despite a triple-double from Jokic. In the previous 25 instances, the Nuggets won every single time. Denver has lost two games in a row, but they obviously won't be panicking with such a comfortable lead at the top of the Western Conference. Jokic will look to get the Nuggets back on track against the Nets on Sunday.

Spurs overcome Jokic's triple-double to top Nuggets 128-120

Keldon Johnson had 23 points and the San Antonio Spurs overcame 37 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists by Nikola Jokic to stun the Denver Nuggets 128-120

Substandard line in blowout loss Jokic finished Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Bulls with 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists.

Impact Jokic has now fallen short of a triple-double in two straight contests, but he's still averaging one for the season (24.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game) across his 58 appearances. The poor showing from the free-throw line Wednesday was uncharacteristic for Jokic, as were his five turnovers, his most since Feb. 23. Though he underdelivered for those that deployed him in DFS, Jokic has more than met expectations for those that selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy drafts. He ranks behind only Joel Embiid in nine-category, per-game fantasy value for the season, though Jokic has probably been the superior asset by virtue of playing 58 games to Embiid's 52.
