Wednesday night saw Nikola Jokić paint one of the finest masterpieces of his illustrious career.

Jokic is the clear engine as always behind the Nuggets' current six-game winning streak, the second-best in the NBA next to the Detroit Pistons' eight-game streak, leading the league in rebounds, leading the league in assists, and as of recent, turned a corner to be the dominant, and efficient scorer he's known to be as well.

Nikola Jokić’s 55-point double-double sinks the shorthanded Clippers, handing LA its sixth straight loss as chemistry issues deepen.

Jokić had a fantastic scoring night, going for 55 points, and while that is a spectacular number, it's still six points off his career high of 61 and wouldn't even crack the top 25 highest point totals in an NBA game — so why was this game so special?

Nikola Jokic scored 26 points, and Jamal Murray added 23 as the Denver Nuggets dominated the Golden State Warriors 129-104. The Nuggets improved to 5-0 at home.

Jokić is still the biggest absence, and the numbers are even more dramatic than what we saw last season. There is still plenty of season to be had and a lot of comfort the Nuggets can find with Valanciunas, but the dropoff of 29.1 points per 100 possessions is beyond dramatic with the Nuggets trying to get Jokić just 13 minutes of rest every game.

Nuggets’ Christian Braun left the Clippers game with a left ankle injury. Denver fans await updates as the team continues its hot 8–2 start.

Nikola Jokic had 32 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists for his sixth triple-double in nine games this season, and the short-handed Denver Nuggets beat the Indiana Pacers 117-100.
