Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Charlotte Hornets Revealed
The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night, and superstar center Nikola Jokic will be available to play, per the injury report. The Hornets will be without their best player in LaMelo Ball, so this already lopsided matchup is even more in favor of the defending champions.
While the Nuggets have a significant talent advantage over Charlotte, anything can happen in the NBA, so Denver will have to approach this game with the right level of focus. Looking to get back on track after their blowout loss to the OKC Thunder, Denver has a great opportunity in this game to get back in the win column against one of the worst teams in the NBA.
The Nuggets have been sitting around second and third place in the Western Conference for most of this season, with the Minnesota Timberwolves having held down the top spot for a while. That said, Denver expects to be at or near the very top of the conference by the time the season ends, and will continue pushing towards that goal as the year goes on.
With Jokic remaining durable this season the way he has throughout his career, Denver has been able to continue building consistency around their best player. This is a luxury that not every team has, but it's something that helps make Denver great.
