Monster double-double Jokic accumulated 28 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 21 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Pistons.

Impact Jokic notched his fourth double-double with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds and fell just one assist shy of his 12th triple-double of the season. Over his last five games, he's averaged 29.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 36.0 minutes. The reigning MVP is making a strong case to repeat again this season, especially given he's kept the Nuggets in the playoff mix without Jamal Murray (knee) and Michael Porter (back).

Triple-double streak ends Jokic supplied 34 points (12-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes Sunday in the Nuggets' 117-111 win over the Pistons.

Impact Jokic fell just short of notching his fifth consecutive triple-double, but since he still eclipsed his season averages in points, assists, steals and blocks while converting at an excellent clip from the field and the free-throw line, fantasy managers have little to complain about. The reigning MVP is making a compelling case to take home the hardware for the second season in a row; aside from a major spike in his rebound rate and a similarly sharp downturn in his free-throw percentage, Jokic's numbers are mostly in line with what he delivered in 2020-21.
