Jokes aside, the Nuggets currently have the best record in the West with 46-20. Furthermore, despite losing their most recent game, the team has won 8 of its last 10 games. So, it’s fair to say that they have a good bit of momentum behind them at the moment.

That said, injuries can change things very, very quickly. And given how much Jokic has been playing, there is a good chance Jokic will pick up some sort of strain or exhaustion. Given this reality, what is the status of the Nuggets superstar’s health ahead of tonight’s game?
