Nuggets Win 10 Straight — Their Longest Streak in 13 Years. Jokic Has 34 Triple-Doubles.

The Nuggets just beat Memphis 136-119 for their 10th consecutive win — the franchise's longest winning streak in 13 years and the longest of the Nikola Jokic era. Jokic had his 34th triple-double of the season, dropping 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists in just 31 minutes before sitting the entire fourth quarter.

The casual efficiency is what makes Jokic terrifying. He's averaging a triple-double for the entire season and doing it while playing fewer minutes than most stars. During this 10-game streak, the Nuggets have looked like the best team in basketball — and they're only the 4-seed in the West.

Nobody wants to draw Denver in the first round. The Nuggets won the championship in 2023 with this exact version of Jokic — a player who makes everyone around him better and treats triple-doubles like a Tuesday afternoon. With Michael Porter Jr. healthy and Jamal Murray finding his rhythm, this is the most dangerous team in the West outside of Oklahoma City.
