Nut straight+blocker, paired board

BN: $159.76
SB: $201 (Hero)
BB: $364.90
UTG: $403.61
HJ: $200
CO: $200
Opponent is a reg with nitty pf stats, but fairly standard postflop stats. He's playing 17/11/5 pre, cbet % by street is 67/44/44.
Preflop ($3.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt K T Q J
UTG folds, HJ raises to $5, CO folds, BN folds, Hero calls $4, BB calls $3
Probably don't want to be 3-betting vs such a tight opener. Although I try not to flat too much from the sb, I think this is a fine hand to see a flop hu or multiway.
Flop ($15.00) T 9 T (3 Players)
Hero checks, BB checks, HJ bets $9, Hero calls $9, BB folds
Anyone raise for value here?
Turn ($33.00) T 9 T 8 (2 Players)
Hero checks, HJ bets $24, Hero calls $24
No other play here imo
River ($81.00) T 9 T 8 5 (2 Players)
Hero checks, HJ bets $60, Hero folds
It was really tempting to call but his line feels very strong to triple barrel here. I think most players shutdown after getting called twice in this spot.

Tried to think if he could valuebet worse like this but decided he probably wouldn't. However, from a game theory stand point perhaps we need to call here with the blocker and being towards the top of our range?
Final Pot
HJ wins $78.20
