Nikola Jokic Recent Performance

Jokic stuffed the stat sheet on Thursday with 29 points (11-of-22 FGs), 17 rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block and six three-pointers in a 129-115 win over the Hornets.

From NBC Edge:

Jokic turned in his typical dominant stat line, though he fell one assist shy of adding to his triple-double count. However, what was unique about this performance was his impact from beyond the arc. This was the third time that he has hit at least six triples in a game. Jokic set his career-high with seven in October, and he also knocked down six in a game back in 2017. He continues to find unique ways to dominate the game, and if Jokic can continue to be lethal from beyond the arc, Denver will only be harder to slow down.
