FINAL UPDATE: Nikola Jokic is available.  

On Saturday night, the Denver Nuggets are hosting the Atlanta Hawks in Colorado.   

However, they could be without their best player, as two-time MVP Nikola Jokic is on the injury report listed as questionable.    

Underdog NBA: "Nikola Jokic (hamstring) listed questionable for Saturday."

Jokic is in the middle of another remarkable season (and is currently averaging a triple-double).  

His averages are 25.0 points, 11.1 rebounds, 10.1 assists and 1.4 steals per contest in 45 games. 

In addition, the All-Star center is shooting 63.2% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range.  

The Nuggets are also the first seed in the Western Conference with a 36-16 record in 52 games. 

They are 4.0 games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies, the second seed.

Over the last ten games, the Nuggets have gone 7-3, and they are in the middle of a two-game winning streak.

At home, they are an outstanding 24-4 in the 28 games they have hosted in Denver, Colorado. 

With all of this success, it's very possible that Jokic could end up winning his third MVP in a row. 

As for the Hawks, they are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 27-26 record in 53 games. 

They are 6-4 in their last ten games and in the middle of a two-game winning streak. 

On the road, the Hawks have gone 14-15 in the 29 games they have played away from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. 

In December, the Hawks beat the Nuggets 117-109 (at home).
