With the Denver Nuggets still in a battle for playoff positioning as the regular season draws to an end, superstar Nikola Jokic is trying to take their fate into his hands once again. To that end, he did a lot of everything in a 137-132 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Jokic posted his league-leading 33rd triple-double of the year, racking up 35 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists to go with five steals and two blocks and Denver needed every bit of it to claw out of an 18-point hole. It also came after he scored 40 with another 13 helpers and eight boards in their OT win over Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
The win lifted the Nuggets 0.5 games above the Lakers and 1.5 ahead of the Rockets for the third seed in the West with three games remaining.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Jokic is one of just 28 players in NBA history to record a triple-double while adding five steals in multiple games. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
