Posts another massive triple-double Jokic contributed 32 points (12-17 FG, 8-14 FT), 15 rebounds, 13 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 131-124 win over the Warriors.
Impact The scrappy Warriors put up a fight despite the absence of most of their starters, but the reigning NBA MVP ensured that the Nuggets pulled out the win. Jokic led Denver players in scoring, rebounds and assists while shooting an efficient 12-for-17 from the field. He struggled a bit from the line, but that does little to diminish the impact of his play Monday. Jokic has now notched a triple-double in three of his past five games and leads the league in that category with 18 on the season. His triple-double was also the 75th of his career, making him only the seventh player in NBA history to reach that benchmark.

Swats four in triple-double Jokic put up 46 points (16-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists, four blocks and three steals across 43 minutes in Sunday's 138-130 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Impact Jaw-dropping lines have been the norm for Jokic for much of the past five seasons, but Sunday's performance might have somehow raised the bar higher for the reigning MVP. He poured in 30 of his points during the fourth quarter and overtime en route to notching his 17th triple-double of the season. In so doing, Jokic became the first player since LeBron James in 2010 to record a 40-point triple-double and four blocks in a single game, according to ESPN.

Provides double-double despite loss Jokic ended Wednesday's 119-107 loss to the Thunder with 22 points (10-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 33 minutes.
Impact Jokic was the only Denver starter to register double-digit scoring on a night when the unit went a miserable 1-for-25 from three-point range. That helps explain why Jokic collected just four assists, but the reigning NBA MVP still produced a healthy stat line with 22 points and 16 boards. Jokic has posted a double-double or triple-double in each of his 16 appearances since Jan. 23, and he remains one of fantasy's most explosive and reliable producers.
