The Denver Nuggets are ready to suit up against the Utah Jazz on Friday, March 28th at the Ball Arena. The talking point from the Nuggets point of view would be whether their superstar Nikola Jokic starts against the Utah Jazz or not.
Will Nikola Jokic play against Utah Jazz?
The 30-year-old has been listed as a probable on the team's injury report for the upcoming clash against Utah Jazz. He has featured in 63 games so far this season and averages 29.3 points, 12.8 rebounds, 10.3 assists while shooting 57.6% from the field.
He has missed the last five games on the trot and returned to the action against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Nuggets managed to walk away with a 127-117 victory over the Bucks as Jokic registered 39 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
This will be a crucial game for the Nuggets as they have a 7-5 record without Jokic and will be counting on him against the Jazz. The three-time MVP will suit up against the Jazz but DaRon Holmes II (right achilles tendon) and Julian Strawther (left knee) are sidelined from the clash. Jamal Murray (right hamstring) is listed as questionable for the clash against the Jazz.
If Murray is sidelined from the clash, then Jokic will have extra load in the offensive department. The Nuggets have won all the games they have played against the Jazz this season and will look to clean sweep the regular-season series tonight.
