3x MVP Nikola Jokic is back for his 12th season, and he's set to break an all-time record this year.
Jokic sits just 11 triple-doubles behind Russell Westbrook for the most all-time, and he'll look to creep closer with one tonight in his season debut.
The skilled center has recorded 34 triple-doubles in each of the last two seasons and has put up 11 or more in eight straight years. Against Oklahoma City itself, Jokic has gotten 10 T-Ds in his career.
The Nuggets return the same starting lineup as last year's team, but they're hoping for better injury luck after key players Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson were out for the majority of the first round series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves due to soft tissue injuries.
However, they'll have a tough opening night matchup against a Thunder squad that beat the San Antonio Spurs convincingly on opening night Tuesday. Along with Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein clogging the paint defensively, rookie 7-3 center Aday Mara was also a force down low. These three will do their best to hound Jokic and him into force tough shots and bad decisions.
Despite OKC's elite defense the last few years, Jokic has averaged 24.0 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game against them in the their last 10 regular season matchups.
Take a look at Jokic's odds to record a triple-double, along with his over/under odds for points, rebounds, assists, and more below:
