Raptors Host Nikola Jokic & Reigning Champion Nuggets: Where to Watch, Injury Reports, & More

The Toronto Raptors will welcome Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets to town Wednesday: Where to watch, injury reports, and more

The Toronto Raptors will welcome Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets to town Wednesday night for a 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff at Scotiabank Arena.

Where to Watch

TSN and the FAN 590 will broadcast the game in Toronto. Altitude and Altitude Sports Radio will broadcast for Colorado.

What to Watch For

• Jokic and Murray have turned the Nuggets into must-watch basketball. They're not in Toronto often so take the night to enjoy one of the most talented teams in the league. It's been a few years since Toronto was at that level but hopefully one day the Raptors are back playing the kind of basketball Denver is playing these days.
• In terms of matchups, OG Anunoby has generally been a pretty good defender against Jokic, at least to the extent that anyone can stop the former MVP. Toronto is going to throw multiple defenders and matchups at Jokic but expect Anunoby to spend most of his night on the big Serbian.
• Gary Trent Jr. dropped 22 points off the bench on Monday night in his best showing of the season. Toronto needs that kind of production from Trent more often to help buoy the offense and provide some spacing with the second unit.

Injury Reports

Christian Koloko will be the lone injury absentee for Toronto as he continues to battle an ongoing respiratory issue.

The Nuggets have listed Aaron Gordon as probable. Vlatko Cancar is out.

Game Odds

The Nuggets are -4.5 point favorites with an implied win probability of 63.6%. The total for the game is 229.5.
