Nikola Jokic is averaging a triple-double in the series against the Lakers and he came into Game 4 already with a pair of trip-dubs in the conference finals. He recorded one in each of Games 1 and 2 before coming up short of another in Game 3, though, the Nuggets still managed to get a win despite a “subpar” performance from the Serbian. In the first two rounds against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns, Jokic was also a walking triple-double machine.
The two-time league MVP has been a major problem for the rest of the NBA, and the Lakers are no exception, with Nikola Jokic getting nearly everything he wants on the floor, and that's even with a talented defender on him in Lakers big man Anthony Davis. His shooting efficiency along with his excellent timing on the glass and incredible passing ability have all worked wonders for the Nuggets, who will go as far as where Jokic takes them.
With still multiple games ahead for the Nuggets, Nikola Jokic is going to have more chances to add to his growing collection of triple-doubles in the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
