The Denver Nuggets stayed in Oklahoma after their 127-103 loss on Sunday for a second-consecutive game against the Thunder on Monday. This one won't be nationally televised, but that doesn't lessen the importance.
There is a chance Denver could be without three starters. Aaron Gordon has already been ruled out for the matchup after tweaking his calf in the first quarter on Sunday. He was initially listed as questionable to return with right calf tightness, but was eventually ruled out.
Oklahoma City will continue to be at full strength. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 40 points on Sunday, shooting 15-of-32 from the field. Jalen Williams also had a big game, finishing with 26 points (7-of-14), nine rebounds, and eight assists.
The odds are stacked against a banged up Nuggets team, but a win would be huge for Denver before it returns to Ball Arena for a three-game homestand.
Nikola Jokic's injury status for tonight's game vs. Thunder
Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is listed as questionable. He hurt his elbow in the first quarter of Sunday's game and it was evident he was in pain, but he played through it. He shot an uncharacteristic 10-of-23 from the field and 2-of-6 from the free throw line in the loss.
UPDATE: Nikola Jokic is available.
