Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic followed up his huge performance in Game 1 with another triple-double in Game 2 to take a 2-0 lead over the Lakers. The superstar big man registered 23 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists, and three steals on 9-for-21 shooting from the floor. He had a slower start to this contest than he did in the previous game, but he made up for his lesser shooting efficiency in more ways than one. He and Jamal Murray are quickly becoming the best duo this postseason if they aren't already.

The two-time MVP ended the game with 34 points, 21 rebounds, 14 assists, and two blocks while shooting 12-for-17 from the floor, 3-for-3 from deep, and 7-for-8 from the free throw line. Jokic was only three assists shy of his triple-double after the first half and he's already tied for third all-time in playoff triple-doubles with Russell Westbrook. The only two ahead of him are LeBron James and Magic Johnson.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was seemingly unstoppable during Thursday's Game 6 against the Phoenix Suns. For the first time in this series, Jokic posted a triple-double. He now has five in this postseason and 11 in his playoff career. The absence of Deandre Ayton certainly helped Jokic in this contest. However, Jokic was making easy work of the Suns defense even when Ayton was out there. Jokic finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists in Thursday's win. Now, the Nuggets will wait to see who wins the Warriors versus Lakers series.

It's also tied for the second-most points in a playoff game by a center in NBA history and only three players have scored more in a playoff loss. The Joker wrapped up a double-double with 11 assists and had four rebounds with one block. He either scored or assisted on 78 points, which marks the most by a center in NBA postseason history. It was a spectacular performance from the former MVP and it included a technical foul for a bizarre incident involving Suns owner Mat Ishbia. Late in the second quarter, the ball went out of bounds right where Ishbia was sitting and Jokic made contact with the Suns owner when he tried to take the ball away from him. The Denver star could now face a fine or even a suspension for the incident.

Jokic has now gone just 34 percent from the floor across his last two outings, but he has continued to produce great lines, and more importantly, the Nuggets have still kept winning.

The Timberwolves didn't have an answer to Jokic as the reigning MVP notched 20 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, shooting 9-for-13 from the field. Jokic also picked up one steal in 38 minutes on the floor. Wilt Chamberlain has the playoff triple-double record among centers with nine, but surely it won't remain so for much longer. Jokic is averaging 20.0 points, 11.3 rebounds and 9.0 assists for the playoffs so far this season, and the Nuggets look ready to make a deep run.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) will play on Friday night against Minnesota. The multi-time MVP has been plagued by a wrist issue, resulting in a miserable 13-point Game 1 performance. However, he bounced back on Wednesday for Game 2, finishing just shy of a triple-double. Jokic appears to be slowly getting better, so DFS managers should keep him in mind, even with his hefty rostering cost.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) will suit up for Wednesday's Game 2 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As expected, Jokic will be available despite dealing with a sprained wrist on his shooting arm. It would take a lot for the 28-year-old to sit out of a playoff game.

The game turned into a blowout, but Jokic was bizarrely sent back into the game with the Nuggets up by 30 and less than eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The reigning MVP, who shot 6-for-12 for the night, ended up staying out there for a little over a minute, fouling out by picking up two quick fouls, including a flagrant on Anthony Edwards. He should now be well rested for Wednesday's Game 2.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (calf) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting against Utah. The 28-year-old has been battling right calf tightness.

The Nuggets have locked up the top seed in the West, so it's possible that Jokic sits out the rest of the regular season. Jeff Green, DeAndre Jordan and Thomas Bryant should all see increased roles with Jokic sidelined. Green has been starting recently when Jokic sits out. That being said, Green is going to be the best streaming choice between the three big men on Thursday.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (calf) is now expected to make his return to the court Tuesday against the Houston Rockets.

Thomas Bryant and Jeff Green would likely both see increased roles if Jokic misses another game.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (calf) received the night off on Thursday as he dealt with some calf tightness. He's now listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns and he's only played in 41% of the game that he held an uncertain status for. The reigning MVP could see some more rest nights in the final six games as the Nuggets hold a three-game lead over the Grizzlies for the first seed. If he remains on the sidelines, then Thomas Bryant would likely start again.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The big man will sit out the first game of the back-to-back due to a minor calf issue. The Nuggets don't want to risk anything with the playoffs starting soon. The expectation is that Jokic will be back for Friday's contest. Thomas Bryant will shift into the starting five and should have decent streaming appeal in this one.

That being said, the team might be cautious with their superstar big man as the playoffs get closer.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic posted his 29th triple-double of the season Monday, leading his side to a 116-111 victory over Philadelphia with 25 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists. The Joker shot an outstanding 8-for-11 from the field and was 9-for-11 at the foul line. He also helped out on the defensive end with two blocks. Jokic's assists numbers have dropped this month, but he was back to his best here, even without the extra initiative of facing Joel Embiid, who sat out the game with a calf problem. Over the final few games of the campaign, Jokic will hope to get back to averaging a triple-double, as his lack of dimes in March has dropped his assists numbers for the season to 9.9.
