Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Boston Celtics Revealed
The Denver Nuggets are facing the Boston Celtics on Thursday night in a potential NBA Finals preview. Both teams have released their injury reports for this game, and Nikola Jokic is not listed, meaning he is available to play.
This should be a very exciting matchup between two of the best teams and basketball, as Denver remains in pursuit of the top spot in the Western Conference, while Boston already has the first seed locked up in the Eastern Conference. Denver enters this game just 1.0 game back of the first seed, while Boston enters this game 8.0 games up on the second seed Milwaukee Bucks.
Both Boston and Denver are coming off of frustrating losses that came down to the wire. For Boston, they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers by a single point, while Denver fell to the Phoenix Suns in overtime. Both looking to get back on track, the Nuggets and Celtics should give fans a very exciting contest on Thursday night.
With Jokic and Jayson Tatum both available, the superstar battle in this game should be a fun one as well. Jokic is the favorite many places to win MVP, while Tatum has gotten some quieter buzz for the award, but has been talked about at times nationally in that discussion.
The Nuggets and Celtics will tip off at 7:00 PM PST in Denver.
