What It Means:

Jokic is a late addition to the injury report and the Nuggets are on the second end of a back-to-back, so this is something to keep an eye on. Aaron Gordon (left hamstring tightness) and DeMarcus Cousins (right foot sprain) are also questionable for Denver. JaMychal Green and Zeke Nnaji could be thrust into larger roles if Jokic and Cousins are both out. Cousins will benefit if he plays and Jokic is inactive. The Jazz will be without both Rudy Gobert (calf) and Hassan Whiteside (back).

numberFire’s models project Jokic for 33.9 minutes and 57.6 FanDuel points, and he has an $11,400 salary on Wednesday’s nine-game slate.
