Nikola Jokic's Final Status for Game 5 vs. Suns

The Denver Nuggets will have their superstar center available for Game 5 against the Phoenix Suns

The Denver Nuggets are back home for Game 5 against the Phoenix Suns. Both teams have protected their home court so far, with Denver winning Games 1 and 2, followed by back-back wins by the Suns in Games 3 and 4. Looking to keep that trend alive, the Nuggets will once again rely on their superstar center Nikola Jokic.

Both teams have released their injury reports for Game 5, and Denver once again has nobody listed. Jokic will be available for big minutes again, and Denver will likely need it, as the two-time MVP has been carrying them throughout this series.

Averaging 30.8 PPG, 13.1 RPG, and 9.2 APG this postseason, Jokic has arguably been the NBA's best player these playoffs. Breaking records on a nightly basis, Jokic continues to reach new heights. While the statistical dominance is incredible, Jokic and the Nuggets are only concerned with wins at the point, and will look add another on Tuesday night.

Two wins from the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets must take care of business at home in Game 5 to avoid facing elimination on the road in Game 6, which will be played in Phoenix. As previously mentioned, the home team has won every game so far in this series, and the Nuggets will look to keep that trend alive in Game 5.
