UPDATE: James Harden has been ruled out. 

On Monday night, the Philadelphia 76ers will be in Colorado to face off with Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. 

For the game, they have listed James Harden as questionable (he has missed each of the last three games due to an Achilles injury). 

However, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the 2018 MVP will likely play. 

Via Wojnarowski: "James Harden (Achilles) participated in shoot-around this morning and remains on track to return vs. Nuggets tonight, sources tell ESPN. Harden has missed three straight games."

Harden is in the middle of another excellent season with averages of 21.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 53 games. 

The former Arizona State star is also shooting 44.1% from the field and 38.4% from the three-point range. 

He is in his first full season playing for the 76ers and they have been one of the best teams in the league. 

Right now, the 76ers are the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 49-25 record in 74 games. 

They are 7-3 in their last ten games but also in the middle of a two-game losing streak. 

On the road, the 76ers have been exceptional, going 23-14 in the 37 games they have played outside of Philadelphia. 

As for the Nuggets, they are the best team in the Western Conference, with a 50-24 record in 74 games. 

They are on a three-game winning streak and an incredible 31-6 in the 37 games they have hosted on their home floor in Denver.
