From last night: Nikola Jokic fake ties his shoe in front of the referee and Celtics inbounder to buy the Nuggets extra time to see if they should challenge the call.
After a huge win against at home against the league's best Boston Celtics, the Denver Nuggets are on a high note right now. Tonight, Denver returns to action facing the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.
Despite having a decent record, the Jazz have been struggling of late, especially after roster changes during the trade deadline. Although the Nuggets are counting on star Nikola Jokic, who is listed as 'Probable' on the injury report, his presence on the court is vital to the team.
On the other hand, the Jazz face a number of key absences, including their star player, Lauri Markkanen. In addition, other key players such as Taylor Hendricks and Otto Porter Jr. are also out due to injuries.
This situation leaves the Nuggets as clear favorites to take the win in this matchup. However, in the NBA, anything can happen, and the Nuggets must maintain their focus to secure the win and stay in the fight for the top spots in the Western Conference.
