Jokic Records 34th Triple-Double, Nuggets Win 10th Straight — Full-Season Triple-Double Average in Sight

Nikola Jokic recorded his 34th triple-double of the season with 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists as the Denver Nuggets hammered the Memphis Grizzlies 136-119 for their 10th consecutive victory.

The numbers are staggering. Jokic is on pace to average a triple-double for the entire 82-game season — something that's only been done twice in NBA history (Oscar Robertson in 1961-62 and Russell Westbrook in 2016-17). But Jokic is doing it while shooting over 55% from the field and playing elite defense. It's the most efficient triple-double season ever.

Denver is 52-28 and holding firm at the 3-seed in the West, riding a 10-game winning streak into the final stretch. The Nuggets look like a team nobody wants to face in April — and Jokic looks like the runaway MVP.
