Nikola Jokic (back) questionable Monday for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Jokic played in the second leg of the Nuggets' first three back-to-backs this season, but he could take a breather on Monday. The big man played 34 minutes on Sunday versus the San Antonio Spurs and scored 39 points with 11 rebounds and 9 assists. Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan will pick up most of the minutes at center if Jokic is ruled out.
Jokic has the highest FanDuel salary on Monday at $12,600 and numberFire's models project him to lead the five-game slate with 61.3 FanDuel points. The Clippers are allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points per game to centers this season.
