<h2>Is Nikola Jokic Playing Today?</h2>
The Nuggets have gone the past two games without their superstar big man, and it looks like that trend will continue Friday night. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/nikola-jokic/3290">Nikola Jokic</a> (ankle) was actually ruled out for this one yesterday, which is not a good sign for his status on Sunday.
The Serbian center&#8217;s 29 triple-doubles lead the league and are 19 more than the next player in line (<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/lebron-james/2994">LeBron James</a>). Jokic is also Denver&#8217;s leading scorer (29.1 PPG), passer (10.3 APG), and rebounder (12.8 RPG). He is obviously sorely missed by the playoff-bound Nuggets. That said, Jokic&#8217;s health for the postseason is undoubtedly Denver&#8217;s top priority.
Denver has also been without starting point guard and second-leading scorer <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/jamal-murray/3283">Jamal Murray</a> (21.5 PPG) over the past two. Murray&#8217;s status for tonight is a little more optimistic than Jokic&#8217;s as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle. The Nuggets backcourt general is questionable for tonight against Portland.
