Warriors superstar Steph Curry and big-time Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić had quite the Tuesday night.

In fact, the pair had two of the NBA’s best regular-season performances of the 2020s.

What a Tuesday it was.

In the Warriors’ 134-125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum, Curry scored 52 points – on 16-for-31 shooting from the field, 12-for-20 on 3-point shots and 8-for-8 on free throws – with 10 rebounds, eight assists, five steals and one block. He finished as a game-high plus-17 and entered halftime with 32 points, eight triples, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals.

It was Curry’s second 50-point game of the 2024-25 NBA season, as he scored 56 on Feb. 3 in Golden State’s 121-115 win over the Orlando Magic, and the 16th of his 16-year career (including his victorious 50 points against the Sacramento Kings in Game 7 of the 2023 Western Conference opening playoff round).

Jokić, meanwhile, reached the 60s.

In the Nuggets’ 140-139 double-overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Jokić posted 61 points – on 18-for-29 shooting from the field, 6-for-11 on triples and 19-for-24 from the charity stripe – with 10 rebounds, 10 assists and a pair of steals.

Jokić’s 61 points were the most any player scored in a game during the 2024-25 season and were the most scored in a triple-double in league history. It also was Jokić’s second 50-point game of the season, as he scored 56 on Dec. 7 in a 122-113 loss to the Washington Wizards, and the fourth of his 10-year career (including his unvictorious 53 points against the Phoenix Suns in Game 4 of the 2023 West semifinals).
