RecapNikola Jokić finished Monday’s loss to the Rockets with 25 points (11-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 16 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer.
Jokić finished Monday’s defeat with his second straight double-double and seventh of the season. Three-point shooting remains an issue for the Nuggets center, who shot 1-of-5 on Monday and is now making 22.5 percent of his attempts this season. Jokić is a career 36 percent shooter from deep, so it’s fair to assume he’ll turn things around eventually. Plus, he brings too much to the table for fantasy managers to panic over subpar production in one category.
