Jokic is averaging 25.

The numbers are genuinely absurd. During Denver's 10-game winning streak — the longest of Nikola Jokic's career — he is averaging 25.2 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 12.7 assists per game. According to Opta Stats, there have been over 1.4 million recorded 10-game spans in NBA history, including playoffs. In none of them has a player totaled more combined points, rebounds, and assists than Jokic has during this stretch: 252 points, 145 rebounds, and 127 assists.

Jokic recorded his 34th triple-double of the season in the 10th straight win — a 136-119 demolition of the Grizzlies on Wednesday. He put up 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists in just 31 minutes. The Nuggets are managing his minutes with the playoffs approaching, and he's still producing at a historically unprecedented level.

Tonight, the streak faces its ultimate test: the Oklahoma City Thunder, who locked up the #1 overall seed with their 64th win this season. Denver vs. OKC could easily be a Western Conference Finals preview. The Nuggets haven't lost in three weeks. Something has to give.
