Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Memphis Grizzlies Revealed
In This Story:
The Denver Nuggets are set to face off with a red hot Memphis Grizzlies team on Thursday night. Memphis is unbeaten since Ja Morant returned, going 4-0 in his first four games. While Morant is questionable for this game with an illness, the Nuggets will have their superstar Nikola Jokic available, as he is not listed on the injury report.
Jokic has been very durable for Denver this season, as he has been throughout his entire career. While the reigning Finals MVP takes a lot of contact and physicality each game, he rarely misses any time, which is a big reason why he and the team are so great.
The Nuggets have been playing very well lately, having won five-straight games, which is the longest active winning streak in the Western Conference. Led by Jokic, Denver is trying to make their push back to the very top of the standings, currently sitting in third place behind the Minnesota Timberwolves and OKC Thunder.
While Denver has two more wins than OKC, they are percentage points behind them in the standings, since they have one more loss. This will of course all even itself out at the end of the year, but for now Denver technically sits in third place, despite being tied with Minnesota for the most wins in the conference.
Denver and Memphis will tip-off at 9:00 PM EST.
