Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Golden State Warriors Revealed

In this story:
The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night, and reigning finals MVP Nikola Jokic is available to play. This is a big game for both teams, as the Nuggets are looking to climb back towards the top of the Western Conference standings, while the Warriors are looking to continue their recent hot streak.
For Denver, they enter this game as the 4th seed in the Western Conference, just two games back of first place. For Golden State, they remain in 10th, but they are just a half-game behind the 9th seed Los Angeles Lakers, and just three games back of the 7th and 8th seed Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns.
Feeling that they have a real chance to climb out of the play-in picture, the Warriors are focused on winning every game in front of them. This one against Denver is a great test to see just how far along the Warriors are.
Believing they have figured things out with their starting lineup and overall rotation, the Warriors have looked much better in recent weeks than they have at any other point of the season. There is still a lot of work to do for Golden State, but they have put themselves in a good position to at least finish the season as one of the four play-in teams.
