Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Golden State Warriors Revealed /

In this story:

The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Golden State Warriors in the second game of the NBA's Christmas Day slate. Both teams have released their injury reports for this game, and reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic is not listed, meaning he will play.

The Warriors and Nuggets enter this game as the two hottest teams in the Western Conference. The Warriors have won five-straight games, which is the longest active winning streak in the West, and Denver is right behind them with a four-game winning streak.

While Golden State is on a roll right now, they are still well behind Denver in the standings at just 15-14 on the season. That said, the Warriors believe they still have what it takes to be one of the best teams in the league, and have shown the ability to match up with elite teams.

The superstar battle between Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic is always fun to watch, because while both players are completely different, they are both the engines for their respective teams. This should be on full display in this game, as Curry and Jokic go head to head in this exciting Christmas Day matchup.

The NBA always puts great games on Christmas, and this matchup between the Warriors and the Nuggets should be one of the more exiting games of the day.
