Led by NBA MVP candidate Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets have marched their way to fourth place in the West with a 25-16 record. After a 57-win 2023-24 season ended in a second-round exit, the Nuggets are looking to build a championship-caliber team.

After an alarming last-minute injury scratch from the lineup on Wednesday, Nikola Jokic was able to play with a sprained right elbow in Miami. It did not seem to bother him. He completed his 16th triple-double of the season late in the third quarter with one of his most delicious highlights of the year.

Nikola Jokic posted his league-leading 17th triple-double of the season, bundling 24 points with 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the Denver Nuggets' 133-113 road win over the Miami Heat on Friday night.
