The Nuggets today beat the Blazers 124-92.
Jokic played just 26 minutes and shot 3-of-5, including 0-of-1 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, for an alternative quasi-triple-double of 8 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists. It is worth mentioning that Jokic is the player in the NBA who has the least time to get at least 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a single game in the past 30 years.
Sadly, Jokic only scored eight points today, ending a record of at least 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 14 consecutive games, losing the record held by Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar (16 games) and Chamberlain (15 games).
In the last game against the Kings, Jokic had a triple-double of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, which was Jokic's 16th triple-double of the season and ranked first in the league. In second place is Murray (12 times) and third is Harden (10 times), and only these three players in the league currently have double-digit triple-doubles.
The 16 triple-doubles also tied the Nuggets' own triple-double record set by Fat Leaf (1986-87) and Jokic (2020-21), which Jokic has a good chance of breaking. So far in his career, Jokic has scored 73 triple-doubles, ranking second in the center position behind Chamberlain (78) and is on the verge of overtaking Chamberlain, possibly even this season.
In addition, so far this season, Jokic has scored 49 double-doubles, and only 5 games have not achieved double-doubles. Jokic has led the league in double-doubles and triple-doubles this season, the second player to lead the league in both double-doubles and triple-doubles since the ABA-NBA merger, the first being Garnett in 2002-03. Jokic has also scored 300 double-doubles in his career, becoming the first player in Nuggets history to achieve this feat.
This season, Jokic's personal performance is still quite good, it can be said that he did not lose last season, or even better than last season. In the absence of both Murray and Porter Jr., Jokic can also lead the Nuggets to play sixth in the West, and draw with the fifth-place Lone Ranger in the West, so in the MVP list, he is also at the top of the MVP list, and is expected to win the MVP.
