The Denver Nuggets will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight in Game 5 of the Round 2 playoff series. It is all square at 2-2, and tonight one side will take the monumental lead at the Paycom Center. Nikola Jokic will once again have the onus to carry the Nuggets team. He has been phenomenal throughout the season, and barring a rare quiet game, he has been a points machine. He will be expected to fire on cylinders tonight as well, and breaching the 30-point mark is no challenge for him. However, before claiming anything about Nikola Jokic, it is imperative to note the status of the Serbian. So, let's take a look at the Denver Nuggets injury report to know whether he will play tonight or not.

Nikola Jokic Injury Report
Nikola Jokic is not listed in the injury report released by the Nuggets ahead of Game 5 against the Thunder. Therefore, he will certainly be in the starting lineup.
Jokic has been averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game this season. A triple-double every game is beyond brilliant. Jokic will most probably win the MVP award again if the Nuggets go deeper in the tournament. Ironically, his biggest rival this season- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander- is also involved in this series.
Denver Nuggets Injury Report
While Nikola Jokic is free from any injury concern, the same cannot be said about every Nuggets player. They will miss out on the services of Hunter Tyson (Ankle) and DaRon Holmes (Achilles) due to their respective injuries.,
The Oklahoma City Thunder on the other hand will miss out on Nikola Topic, who has remained out since January due to a knee injury.
Thus, an exciting battle awaits between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets. The winner will garner a huge edge, let's see who comes out on top.
