Nikola Jokic notched his 108th triple-double career to break a tie with LeBron James and Jason Kidd and move into fourth place on the all-time list.

He now trails NBA legend Magic Johnson by 30 triple-doubles for third place.

Jokic notched his 108th triple-double with 35 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists as the Denver Nuggets defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 134-116 on Monday night

Denver was even able to fight back and recover from a 20-point first-half deficit to secure their seventh win of the season.

Nuggets rookie Julian Strawther scored a career-high 21 points of the bench to help overcome the absence of Jamal Murray, who will miss several games with a right hamstring injury.

As well as LeBron, he also broke a tie with NBA player-turned-coach Jason Kidd

‘His injury is not one- or two-game injury,’ coach Michael Malone said. ‘That´s what I do know. This is something that will be longer than we would like.’

Michael Porter Jr. had 22 points and nine rebounds, while Aaron Gordon finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Nuggets.

New Orleans rookie Jordan Hawkins, starting for CJ McCollum, set a career best with 31 points on 7-for-14 shooting from 3-point range. Zion Williamson added 20 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Brandon Ingram had 22 points for the Pelicans.

McCollum was ruled out Sunday after an MRI revealed he had suffered a collapsed lung and will likely miss multiple games.

‘We do not think it is too bad but we have to run more tests and see where we are after,’ New Orleans coach Willie Green said.

Despite being outscored 46-19 in the second and third quarters, the Pelicans lead 61-41 late in the second quarter on the strength of their 10 of 17 3-point shooting performance. With Jokic dishing off a 3-pointer to Collin Gillespie, Denver took a 90-82 lead. Gillespie is a two-time MVP.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Hawkins sank a 3-pointer to give the team a six-point lead. However, Gordon dunked and Strawther scored five points to give the Nuggets a 113-100 lead. Jokic fed Porter on an alley-oop to make it 121-108, sealing the victory after New Orleans had pulled within seven points.
