Jokic Averages a Triple-Double for the Season — 34th of the Year as Nuggets Win 10th Straight

Nikola Jokic just joined the most exclusive club in basketball history. The Nuggets center is now the 3rd player in NBA history to average a triple-double for a full season, joining Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook. His 34th triple-double of the season came in Denver's 136-119 blowout of the Grizzlies.

The Nuggets have now won 10 straight games and are locked into a top-4 seed with three games left. Jokic finished with 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 12 assists against Memphis — a casual demolition that's become routine for the three-time MVP.

What makes this historic run different from Westbrook's triple-double seasons? Jokic is doing it on elite efficiency while his team is actually winning. Denver looks like a legitimate championship threat heading into the postseason. Nobody wants to see the Nuggets in the first round right now.
