FINAL UPDATE: Nikola Jokic's Injury Status For Nuggets-Timberwolves Game
FINAL UPDATE: Nikola Jokic has been ruled out.
On Sunday night, the Denver Nuggets will be on the road to face off with the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center.
However, they will likely be without their best player for the contest, as Nikola Jokic has been listed as doubtful.
Underdog NBA: "Nikola Jokic (hamstring) listed doubtful Sunday."
The two-time MVP is in the middle of another outstanding season with averages of 24.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 10.1 assists per contest.
He is also shooting 63.2% from the field and 38.5% from the three-point range.
Right now, the Nuggets are the best team in the Western Conference, with a 37-16 record in 53 games.
They are in the middle of a three-game winning streak and are 7-3 in their last ten games.
At home, the Nuggets have been remarkable, with a 25-4 record in the 29 games they have hosted in Denver, Colorado.
However, they are just 12-12 in the 24 games they have played on the road.
With the way Jokic (and the Nuggets) have played as a whole, there is an excellent chance he could end up winning his third MVP Award in a row.
As for the Timberwolves, they are tied with the Golden State Warriors for the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 28-27 record in 55 games.
They are 6-4 in their last ten games and a very solid 19-12 in the 31 games they have hosted at home in Minnesota.
Last season, both teams lost in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
