Nikola Jokić records triple-double with 35 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists

Jokić posted a massive line Saturday, but his fantasy value was already priced in at the highest level before this performance in nine-cat and points formats.

Nikola Jokić recorded 35 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks and 3 threes with 6 turnovers on 12-of-23 shooting and 8-of-8 from the line in 44 minutes as a starter Saturday, October 24, when Denver beat New Orleans 141-135.

The triple-double produced 80 fantasy points and filled every nine-category column, but Jokić averaged 62.1 fantasy points over last season (65 games) and ranks first overall in both nine-cat value (11.44) and projected fantasy points (61.7). His elite production was already factored into his draft cost.

Nikola Jokić

Jokić used a 27.2 per cent usage rate and played 44 minutes, well above his 34.8-minute average from last season (65 games), when he posted 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds, 10.7 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.7 threes per game while shooting 56.9 per cent from the field and 83.1 per cent from the line. His 31.3 per cent true shooting Saturday was uncharacteristic, but the perfect free-throw shooting and complete stat line showcase his multi-category dominance.

Denver has no games left this week and 0 games next week, so Jokić will not contribute again in the short term. Over 2 games this season (this one included), he is averaging 24.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 39.5 minutes. He remains the top-ranked fantasy asset in all formats.

What to do

• Start Jokić whenever Denver plays, as he is the consensus first overall fantasy asset.

• Do not expect Denver to contribute again this week, with 0 games remaining.

• Hold Jokić through the scheduling gap, as his elite nine-category production and projected 61.7 fantasy points per game are irreplaceable.
