.Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his second consecutive triple-double on Thursday, finishing a 121-100 win over the Clippers with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. It wasn't a great night shooting-wise with an 8-for-19 record from the field, but Jokic also picked up two blocks for another spectacular display. The Serbian has started 2019 by averaging 25.8 points, 12.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, and he gets another wonderful matchup on Saturday when the Nuggets head to Phoenix. Deandre Ayton has struggled defensively at this level, which has lead to the Suns giving up the third-most points to opposing center this season.
