Thunder Gameday: Back in Denver for Last Matchup of Season Against Nuggets For the final time this season, Oklahoma City will match up with MVP candidate Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

MARCH 26, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM

Posts 28/6/6 line Thursday Jokic closed with 28 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 140-130 loss to the Suns.

Impact By Jokic's standards, this was a relatively modest performance, especially considering that the All-Star center turned the ball over eight times. Still, it's impressive that the big man managed a team-high 28 points on only 10 field-goal attempts and went an efficient 9-for-11 from the charity stripe. It's a rare occurrence when Jokic doesn't finish with a double-double -- he has registered 59 such performances in 67 games this season -- so his fantasy managers can expect his usual abundance of supplementary stats when the Nuggets take on Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Bounces back with huge total Jokic recorded 30 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 127-115 victory over the Clippers.

Impact After a poor shooting night in a loss against the Celtics, Jokic came roaring back in a big way against the Clippers. Jokic's 14 rebounds marked his highest total in three weeks, and he excelled on a night where several of his teammates also scored in double figures.

Impressive streak comes to end Jokic supplied 23 points (8-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Jokic ended two rebounds away from posting a double-double, and this game marked the first time since Jan. 23 in which he didn't record double-digit in at least two categories -- a span that covered 24 games with 17 double-doubles and seven triple-doubles. He's averaging 29.3 points, 12.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game across 10 March contests.

Near triple-double not enough Jokic ended with 32 points (15-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 119-116 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Jokic finished with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the eighth time this season, but his stellar production was not enough as Denver fell to Cleveland in overtime. Across nine appearances in March, Jokic has averaged 30.0 points, 13.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals in 34.0 minutes per game. He'll look to continue his dominant play Sunday against the Celtics.

Excellent again Jokic totaled 29 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, eight asists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-109 win over the Wizards.

Impact With Denver up 21 points at halftime and coasting to victory, Jokic was able to have a lessened workload -- playing less than 30 minutes for just the second time in his past 19 games. The lessened workload didn't lead to lessened production, however, as Jokic scored at will against a porous defense. Jokic has accumulated a staggering 18.6 wins above replacement this season. Jayson Tatum ranks second with WAR at 10.8.
