Nikola Jokic showcased his exceptional talent in a recent game, not only by scoring 27 points but also by dishing out 14 assists and grabbing 10 rebounds for a triple-double that led the Denver Nuggets to a win over the New Orleans Pelicans. His vision on the court was particularly evident in a no-look overhead pass to Aaron Gordon, which was just one highlight in a night that solidified his place as fourth in NBA history with 117 career triple-doubles. Jokic's defensive prowess was also on display with 5 blocks. In a previous game, Jokic had a distinctive stat line with 4 points, 7 rebounds, 16 assists, 5 blocks, a 66% field goal percentage, and a plus-minus of 16. Michael Porter Jr. thrived alongside Jokic, with 10 of his 12 shot attempts coming from Jokic's passes, leading to 18 points on 58.3% shooting. Jokic has been consistently dominant against the Pelicans, with triple-doubles in his last five encounters, averaging 13.8 assists. On another note, Jalen Johnson also put up impressive numbers with 25 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists in his game.
