The Denver Nuggets will take on the Sacramento Kings tonight at the Golden 1 Center. Having lost four games in a row, the Nuggets are in a big spot of bother. They are standing at 5th in the table, but there is not much difference between them and Grizzlies, who are placed 7th on the Western table. Therefore, a further plummet can force them to enter in the play-ins. As they are in a dire situation and yearning for a win, the onus will fall on to star center Nikola Jokic to rescue his team from this tricky state of affairs. Jokic is making it happen on his own but he needs support, which has lacked since the departure of Jamal Murray. So, it is all on him, and he will have to deliver against the Kings tonight, should he play. As the Nuggets are in somewhat trouble, it is imperative for Nikola Jokic to play for his side. So, will he play tonight or not? Let's figure it out by taking a look at the Denver Nuggets injury report.

Nikola Jokic Injury Report
The Nuggets fans can take a sigh of relief as Nikola Jokic is not listed in the injury report realised ahead of the game against the Kings. Thus, he will surely be in the starting lineup.
The Serbian has been averaging 30 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game for the Nuggets this season. A triple-double every game, that's insane! That's MvP-esque!

Denver Nuggets Injury Report
While Nikola Jokic is free from injury concerns, the Denver Nuggets are not completely devoid of it. They will miss the services of Jamal Murray (Hamstring) and DaRon Holmes (Achilles) due to their respective injuries.
Sacramento Kings on the other end will miss out on Malik Monk (Calf), Keegan Murray (Back), and Jake LaRavia (Thumb) due to their respective injuries.
It will be exciting to witness how Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets will approach the game, as it will be their first appearance following the sudden sacking of coach Michael Malone. Kings on the other hand will look to deepen the wounds of the Nuggets.
