Nikola Jokic (hamstring) questionable Wednesday for Nuggets

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (left hamstring tightness) is questionable for Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

What It Means:

Jokic returned from a two-game absence on Tuesday and recorded his fourth straight triple-double. It was his sixth in seven games and 15th of the season. The Nuggets are expected to give Jokic the night off on the second end of the back-to-back, so Zeke Nnaji might find his way back into the starting lineup. Jamal Murray (knee), Michael Porter Jr. (personal), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist), and Bones Hyland (finger) are also listed as questionable.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Nuggets have the second-lowest implied total (111.5) out of 20 active teams today and they are 7.5-point underdogs, suggesting that Jokic will sit out. Nnaji ($4,800) is averaging 18.1 FanDuel points in 22.7 minutes per game with Jokic inactive this season.
