Nikola Jokic N. Jokic

Nikola Jokic (toe) added to Nuggets injury report, now probable

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has been added to the injury report with a sore right toe and is now questionable to play Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What It Means:

The Nuggets are giving Michael Porter Jr. a night of rest and there has been some speculation that Jokic could see a reduced workload as well. That being said, Nuggets head coach Mike Malone indicated that he would likely sit someone for an entire game rather than shorten their minutes, as the regular season winds down. Jokic should see a massive usage rate with Porter, Jamal Murray (knee), and Monte Morris (injury management) all out.

numberFire’s models project Jokic for 56.2 FanDuel points over 34.9 minutes versus the Timberwolves and he has a $10,800 salary on Thursday.
