The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, and superstar center Nikola Jokic is not listed on the injury report. Set to play in this game against Detroit, Jokic will be appearing in his 14th game of the season, which means he has played in every Nuggets game so far this season. 

Coming off of a season low 18 points in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, Jokic is looking to bounce back in this game. The reigning finals MVP did have 10 rebounds and 7 assists in that game, but he and the rest of the Nuggets team was simply not good enough to beat Cleveland. 

Now facing a Pistons team that owns the worst record in the NBA, Denver is looking to get right back in the win column after dropping their last two games. Even with the consecutive losses, Denver still sits at 9-4, which has them just a half game back of first place in the Western Conference standings.

Just 3-3 since Jamal Murray went down with injury, the Nuggets have scuffled a bit of late for their standards. That said, a game against the Pistons could be what they need in order to get back on track, and they will have their superstar center Nikola Jokic available in this one.
