2019 Round 2 - Nuggets vs. Blazers

The Joker's baptism of fire in 2019 continued as the Nuggets' second-round series with the Portland Trail Blazers came down to Game 7.

2020 Round 1 - Nuggets vs. Jazz

A year later, Jokic would compete in yet another tightly contested series as the Nuggets faced the Utah Jazz in Round 1. In a game with heart-stopping momentum swings, the Joker was the difference maker as he led Denver with 30 points (12-for-23 from the field), 13 rebounds, and four assists. Jokic's brilliance helped the Nuggets eke out an 80-78 victory.

2020 Round 2 - Nuggets vs. Clippers

After a grueling series with the Donovan Mitchell-led Jazz, Jokic had to go up against an LA Clippers team bannered by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Inside the NBA bubble, the Nuggets fell down 1-3 but valiantly fought till they evened the series. In Game 7, Jokic complimented Murray's 40-piece with a triple-double consisting of 16 points, 22 rebounds, and 13 assists. To date, the Nuggets' 104-89 victory that night is the last Game 7 victory of Jokic's career.

2024 Round 2 - Nuggets vs. Wolves

Following a gentleman's sweep of the LA Lakers in 2024, the Nuggets competed in a best-of-seven series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. In Game 7, with all his teammates not named Murray struggling to score, Jokic stuffed the stat sheet with 34 points, 19 rebounds, and seven assists. Despite this double-double performance, the Wolves put a stop to the Nuggets' title retention bid by winning 98-90.
