Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Jazz Revealed

The Denver Nuggets are facing the Utah Jazz on Monday night, and superstar center Nikola Jokic is available to play. This is the second night of a back to back for the Nuggets, but Jokic is not a player who typically rests. While a lot of stars around the league only play one half of back to back sets, Jokic is always out there where healthy.

The Nuggets are unbeaten to start the new season, and will look to keep that going in this matchup vs. Utah. The Jazz are an interesting team, because while they don't project to be a playoff team in the Western Conference, they have some players who can go off and win a game. They showed this vs. the LA Clippers, and will look to give Denver trouble as well.

For the Nuggets, they just want to keep building off what they've done so far to begin the season. There were some who understandably believed the Nuggets may start slowly because of their unique offseason, but that doesn't look to be the case. While most of the offseason footage of Nikola Jokic showed him partying, the reigning Finals MVP clearly worked on his game as well.

The Nuggets are the favorites out West for a reason, and will look to stay unbeaten when they face Utah on Monday night.
