Of course, Nikola Jokić has led the way for the Nuggets this season as he once again finds himself in the MVP race. He has not been the only player on the roster to step up though, as their offseason addition of Russell Westbrook has played a huge role in Denver’s recent success.

Denver’s Nikola Jokić and Russell Westbrook become the 1st pair of teammates in NBA history to record a triple-double in the same game multiple times in a single season.

The Denver Nuggets are now 18-5 with Russell Westbrook in the starting lineup after dismantling the scorching Sacramento Kings on Thursday. Westbrook put together another solid game contributing to the win while making big plays.
