The Denver Nuggets are trying to hold on for dear life in the playoff race and Nikola Jokic has been trying his best to keep them a float. Deandre Jordan for the Clippers has been mired in trade rumors all season long, but is still being a defensive force for the Clippers.
This rim protector going up against this rising star will be an intriguing match up to keep an eye on in this game. Jokic is coming off a monster performance where he scored 29 points, but also pulled down an impressive 18 rebounds to help propel Denver to a close win on their home floor.
