Nikola Jokic is currently #4 in the list of active NBA players with most triple-doubles in the regular season. He’s trailing behind Harden, LeBron James, and Westbrook. When it comes to the postseason, he comes in fifth, behind Westbrook, Rondo, Draymond Green, and LeBron.

Betting on Nikola Jokic Triple Double

In the regular season 2019-20, Nikola Jokic made 13 triple-doubles, the same as LeBron James. The only player who made more was Luka Doncic. However, in the Playoffs, there still isn’t a single player with a triple double.

Nikola Jokic Triple Double might be the first in the 2020 Playoffs. There are several reasons why this prop bet could come true. First of all, his form has been on the rise. He was marvelous against Utah Jazz, with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 assists in their final game.

This is an impressive performance especially knowing that Jazz is one of the best teams in the league when the defense is concerned. Nuggets’ next opponent, on the other hand, is not too great defense-wise, but they’re fantastic when it comes to scoring.

To keep up with such a scoring machine as Los Angeles Clippers, Jokic and his buddies will have to do their very best. And that means that Nikola Jokic Triple Double is not an impossible scenario!
