Nikola Jokic had 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds as the Denver Nuggets beat the Toronto Raptors 128-109 on Wednesday night, 4 November 2026, at Ball Arena in Denver.
It was Jokic’s third triple-double of the season and the 201st of his career. He completed it by the end of the third quarter and sat out the entire fourth quarter.
Jokic shot 13 of 19 from the field and added a team-high 3 steals in his most efficient shooting performance of the season.
Denver outscored Toronto 41-15 in the third quarter and 64-42 in the second half to turn a close game into a 19-point win, the Nuggets’ most lopsided victory of the season.
Six other Nuggets players finished in double figures, led by rookie Bryce Hopkins with a career-high 18 points off the bench. Aaron Gordon added 17 points and Jamal Murray had 14 points and 7 assists.
The win lifted Denver to 4-3 and was its first win against a team with a winning record this season. Toronto fell to 4-4.
Jokic makes the extraordinary look routine. A 32-point triple-double finished before the fourth quarter even begins is the kind of night most players dream of — for Jokic, it was his 201st. The Nuggets’ supporting cast stepped up around him, and the third-quarter burst showed what this team can do when everything clicks.
It was a huge week for NBA stars, from Victor Wembanyama’s 52 points against the Mavericks to Luka Doncic’s 40 points in the Lakers’ third straight win.
