The Denver Nuggets have now won eight consecutive games and 15 straight games at home thanks to some phenomenal play by superstar big man, Nikola Jokic. Thanks to his 31 point, 13 assist, and 11 rebound performance, the Nuggets escaped with a 122-118 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
It was Jokic’s fifth triple-double in his last six games as he’s starting to pull away in the MVP conversation. Jokic is on a quest to become just the third player in NBA history — Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird — to three-peat as league MVP.
