Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic delivered another staggering all-around masterpiece in Wednesday night’s 142–135 win vs. the Dallas Mavericks, nearly posting a 20/20/20 triple-double that pushed the Nuggets to 46–28 on the season, as they sit in fourth place in the Western Conference with 17 days left in the regular season. Coming on the second night of a back-to-back, the performance extended the Nuggets’ winning streak to four games and kept them within striking distance of the No. 3-seeded Los Angeles Lakers with the NBA playoffs quickly approaching. Capturing both the historic rarity of the stat line and its impact on Denver’s postseason positioning, StatMuse posted the following on X, formerly Twitter, sharing just how dominant the Serbian center’s performance was in the narrow Denver win on Wednesday night.
