Jokic piled up 24 points (9-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 win over the Rockets.
Jokic has embraced extra responsibility on offense in the absence of Paul Millsap (knee) and Jamal Murray (ankle). He's triple-doubled twice in the last three games, and over the last six, he's averaging 23.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists. Jokic has long since put his slow start in the rear-view mirror and is beginning to provide first-round-level value for his fantasy managers.
