FINAL UPDATE: Nikola Jokic is available. 

On Tuesday evening, the Denver Nuggets are hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves in Colorado.    

For the game, their best player Nikola Jokic is on the injury report.    

However, the two-time MVP is listed as probable, which means he will more than likely be in the starting lineup.  

Underdog NBA: "Nikola Jokic (hamstring) listed probable for Tuesday."

The two teams faced off in Minnesota on Sunday night, but Jokic was ruled out for the game. 

Every player on the Timberwolves scored, and they blew out the Nuggets 128-98 at the Target Center.

Jokic is in the middle of an outstanding season with averages of 24.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 10.1 assists and 1.3 steals per contest in 46 games.

He is also shooting 63.2% from the field and 38.5% from the three-point range.

As for the Nuggets, they are the first seed in the Western Conference with a 37-17 record in 54 games.

They are 6-4 in their last ten games and a phenomenal 25-4 in the 29 games they have hosted at home in Denver, Colorado.

With the way Jokic (and the Nuggets) are playing, there is an excellent chance the former second-round pick could win his third MVP Award in a row.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are 29-27 in 56 games, which has them tied with the Golden State Warriors for the seventh seed in the Western Conference.

They are 7-3 in their last ten games but just 9-15 in the 24 games they have played on the road away from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
