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.
