UPDATE: Nikola Jokic has been ruled out for Friday's game.

For the game, they could be without their best player, as Nikola Jokic is on the injury report listed as questionable.
The two-time MVP missed Thursday's 107-88 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, so this could be his second straight game out of the lineup.
