Nikola Jokic (ankle) to miss sixth straight game for Nuggets on Tuesday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will not play on Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
This will be Jokic's sixth consecutive game on the bench and it's discouraging to see the decision made more than 24 hours in advance. Kenneth Faried, Mason Plumlee, and Trey Lyles have all benefitted from Jokic's absence.
Jokic averaged 38.7 FanDuel points per game prior to injury. Upon return, numberFire's models project him to record 22.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers per game.
