The Denver Nuggets extended their win streak to seven games on Monday, handily defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 146-117 behind an incredible team performance.

The Nuggets scored a season-high 146 points while shooting 60-91 (65.9%) from the field. Denver’s dominance on Monday was incredible, but it was all led by their superstar big man. Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic continues to make his case for a fourth MVP, and Monday night was no different. Jokic dropped an insane 40 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals on 15-22 shooting against Portland.

Not only did Jokic have that insane performance, but he did it in just three quarters. Jokic becomes the first player in NBA history to drop 40+ points, 8+ assists, 7+ rebounds, and 3+ steals in 31 minutes or less, per Stathead.

Jokic continues to have historic nights, and Monday night was the perfect showcase of what the 29-year-old superstar is capable of.

Heading into Monday’s game, Jokic was averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per game with 57.5/46.2/81.6 shooting splits. Jokic is a complete statistical anomaly when it comes to the NBA’s history, stringing together insane performances like Monday’s on a near-nightly basis.

Jokic nearly put together a 40-point triple-double in just three quarters of basketball, leading the Nuggets to their 35th win of the season and bolstering his MVP campaign.
