Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Boston Celtics Revealed /

In this story:

The Denver Nuggets have released their injury report for Friday night's game against the Boston Celtics, and star center Nikola Jokic is not listed, meaning he is available to play. This sets up a very exciting superstar matchup between Jokic and Celtics star Jayson Tatum.

This was a matchup that many people thought fans would get to see in the NBA Finals last season, but Boston fell a game short, and it was the Miami Heat who Denver ended up playing. Both Denver and Boston have their sights set on winning a championship this season, as Boston currently sits atop the Eastern Conference, while Denver sits just 2.5 games back of the first place Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference.

Boston has been the best team in basketball by a significant margin this season, leading the Eastern Conference by four games over the second place Milwaukee Bucks. Boston enters this game 32-9 on the season, with the only other 30-win team in the NBA being the 30-11 Timberwolves. This is how good Boston has been this year, and they will present a serious challenge for Jokic and the Nuggets on Friday night.

This game will be nationally televised on ESPN, and will begin at 7:30 PM EST. With all the stars playing, this should be a fun one between two of the best teams in the NBA.
