Fifth triple-double in last seven Jokic ended with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 win over the Mavericks. Impact After scoring just one point in the opening period, Jokic went 5-of-5 from the field in the second quarter before deferring to his teammates for much of the second half. While ceding more of the scoring responsibilities to Jeff Green (24 points) and Michael Porter (22 points), Jokic paced the Nuggets in rebounds and assists en route to collecting his fifth triple-double in seven games. With averages of 24.7 points, 11.5 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game over his 51 appearances, the two-time MVP heads into the All-Star break on pace to become the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season.
