The Denver Nuggets cruised to their fourth straight victory over the struggling Indiana Pacers 117-100 on Sunday (PH time) during the 2025-26 NBA Regular Season at the Bell Center.

Superstar center Nikola Jokić was the engine of Denver's offense, powering his way to a spectacular 32-points, 14-rebound, and 14-assist performance—his sixth triple-double of the season.

Despite the absence of star guard Jamal Murray, the Nuggets' depth shone through. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Peyton Watson stepped up, contributing 17 points and 16 points, respectively.

The Nuggets took control from the opening tip, establishing a lead they would never relinquish. Building on an early 13-point cushion, Denver maintained a wire-to-wire advantage, effectively neutralizing any threat from the visiting Pacers.

On Indiana’s side, Aaron Nesmith led the scoring effort with 25 points, while Andrew Nembhard added 22 points.

The Nuggets (7-2) will look to extend their winning streak to five games as they take on the Sacramento Kings on a road game on Wednesday. The Pacers (1-8), meanwhile, will search for just their second victory of the season when they travel to San Francisco to face the Golden State Warriors tomorrow.

It seems that the Pacers are trying to tank, and their current roster lacks interior players.

Alas fans
Jokic should be able to surpass Russell Westbrook and top the triple-double list this season. There's no doubt that no one will be able to surpass him in the next few decades. If he wins another championship and FMVP, he really has a chance to enter the discussion of the top 10 in history.

A Michael Porter in exchange for a starting lineup and three strong bench players, the Nuggets will be the Thunder's most formidable challenger
