Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Triple-doubles in loss to Indiana
Rotowire
Jokic produced 41 points (18-33 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 125-120 loss to the Pacers.
Jokic was dominant on both ends of the court, and it wasn't surprising to see the star big man end with another triple-double in the absence of Jamal Murray (hamstring). Jokic has recorded three triple-doubles in five games since returning from a five-game absence in mid-March due to a left ankle impingement, a span in which he also posted a career-high 61 points in a loss to Minnesota on April 1.

Rotowire
Jokic ended with 33 points (13-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 118-104 loss to the Warriors.
Jokic needed one more assist to hit the triple-double milestone, and he was Denver's best weapon on both ends of the court while the team suffered its third consecutive loss. Jamal Murray's (hamstring) absence has compromised the team's efficiency, but Jokic will always be a valuable fantasy target, win or lose.

Rotowire
Jokic finished with 27 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 129-93 win over the Jazz.
Jokic finished just four assists away from recording a triple-double, but his ability to fill the stat sheet wasn't the only thing that stood out. The star center will probably most be remembered for the absurd buzzer-beater he sank with a one-handed shot from the Nuggets' three-point line. This was the sixth straight game in which Jokic scored more than 25 points, a span in which he's also recorded three double-doubles and one triple-double.
