Nikola Jokic (conditioning) questionable Wednesday for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (return to competition conditioning) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Jokic returned from a three-game absence for the league's health and safety protocols on Wednesday. He scored 31 points in 37 minutes and was a rebound away from a triple-double, but the Nuggets might want to let him rest on the second leg of the back-to-back. DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji will play more minutes if Jokic is out, with Jordan likely starting at center.
numberFire's models project Jokic for 32.9 minutes and 51.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $10,500 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Nuggets' implied total (117.75) is tied for No. 6 out of 24 active teams today. Jokic is averaging 52.7 FanDuel points in his two outings versus the Thunder this season. They are allowing the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to centers overall.
