The Mavericks are catching a huge break this weekend, although it will rob fans of their only chances this regular-season to see two-time MVP Nikola Jokic in Dallas.
The Denver Nuggets’ superstar center entered the NBA’s health & safety protocols on Tuesday and will be lost for their visits to American Airlines Center on Friday and Sunday.
Without Jokic on Wednesday, the Nuggets suffered a 106-103 home loss to Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks. Just as the Mavericks found out how tough life is without Luka Donu010diu0107 in their loss to Houston on Wednesday, the Nuggets found out what it’s like to go to battle without their superstar, too.
