Tari Eason will miss his 12th straight game with an oblique injury, but he is getting close to returning. It just won't be against the Nuggets on Monday night.

Nikola Jokic had 39 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for his NBA-leading 12th triple-double of the season as the Denver Nuggets outlasted the Houston Rockets 128-125 in overtime on Monday night in a matchup of two of the top three teams in the Western Conference standings.

The Rockets looked like they had the game won in regulation when Alperen Şengün hit a shot with 2.8 seconds remaining, but the Nuggets tied it and sent it to overtime.
