Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic has mind-blowing Game 7 career stats

There's nothing in sports like a Game 7.

And there's no one in the NBA like Nikola Jokic.

Lucky basketball fans get to combine those things on Saturday night when Jokic's Denver Nuggets take on the Los Angeles Clippers in a win-or-go-home first-round NBA playoff game.

Denver had a chance to close the series out in Game 6 but couldn't get it done, so now this clash has come along for all the marbles.

The bright side for the Nuggets? Jokic has a solid career stat line in Game 7s.

Nikola Jokic Game 7 stats

Nikola Jokic has played in five Game 7s. The Nuggets are 3-2 in those games.

Jokic's career averages in Game 7s are as follows:

• 26.0 points per game
• 16.6 rebounds per game
• 7.2 assists per game

Four of Jokic's five Game 7s came in a two-year span between 2019-2020.

The most recent one was last year on May 19, when the Timberwolves knocked out the Nuggets, 98-90. Jokic finished that game with 34 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists while playing 47 minutes.

The craziest part about Jokic is that those stats don't even seem that insane.

He's always putting up jumbo triple-double stats to make the postseason seem underwhelming. 

But given the defensive attention Jokic brings, it's mightily impressive that he's put up such good Game 7 numbers.

Now, he'll hope to add to them on Saturday night.
