The Denver Nuggets are facing the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night in what will be the second night of a back to back for Denver. That said, the back to back will not impact the status of Nikola Jokic, who is available to play in this game.

The Nuggets have released their injury report for this game, and Jokic is not listed, meaning he will be playing; however, there are some key names on the injury report for the Nuggets. 

Denver will be without Vlatko Cancar, Collin Gillespie, Jay Huff, and Braxton Key for this game. Aaron Gordon is probable, while Jamal Murray is questionable. For the Bulls, they will be without Lonzo Ball, Zack LaVine, Justin Lewis, and Onuralp Bitim. Torrey Craig is probable for Chicago, while Alex Caruso is questionable.

Jokic had a solid bounce back performance in a win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night, shooting much better from the floor than he did the two games prior. While Jokic and the Nuggets have not been as sharp lately as they are used to being, perhaps that win over Atlanta can help spark a run of wins.

The Bulls are not a good team, but they do have some players who could give the Nuggets trouble, so Denver will have to lock in and be ready for a battle.
