Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Posts 20th 40-point game of career
Rotowire
Jokic closed with 41 points (16-20 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 win over the Timberwolves.
Jokic turned in a majestic performance with the top seed in the West on the line. Jokic recorded this number despite being guarded by Rudy Gobert, who is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner. Despite the critical win, the Nuggets are only one game ahead of Minnesota and Oklahoma City, so Jokic should still be on the floor for the final two games and probably won't get any pre-playoff rest.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Logs 24th triple-double of season
Rotowire
Jokic amassed 36 points (14-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds and 10 assists over 40 minutes during Thursday's 102-100 loss to the Clippers.
Jokic cut Domantas Sabonis' category lead to two with his 24th triple-double of the season. Jokic had a masterful performance but failed to hit a potential game-winning three-pointer as time expired. Although four of five players in the first unit reached double figures, the offense was slightly compromised by Jamal Murray's (knee) absence, as the Nuggets are usually much more efficient when he's on the floor. Jokic is mounting another MVP-worthy campaign, and he'll continue to excel as the season draws to a close.
