Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is questionable to play Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks due to a sprained ankle suffered during a 103-102 win in Friday’s matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Jokic has yet to miss a game this season for the Nuggets, averaging 26 minutes, scoring 27 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists per game. He is a dominating playmaker in the league, and he is in contention for the MVP, currently +230 on FanDuel Sportsbook, behind the favorite, LeBron James.
If Jokic cannot play, expect JaMycal Green and Isaiah Hartenstein to see increased production at center.
