Nuggets' Nikola Jokic (ankle) says he'll play Friday against the Pelicans
According to Mile High Sports' Jeff Morton, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic told reports that he'll play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
What It Means:
Head coach Mike Malone said that Jokic "look good" during Friday's shootaround. He's officially questionable although he was close to playing Wednesday night so all signs point to Jokic giving it a go. If he's able to return, Mason Plumlee and Kenneth Faried would have diminished roles in the frontcourt.
At a price of $9,300, Jokic is pegged for 30.9 minutes and 42.9 FanDuel points in Friday's home matchup.
