The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Dallas Mavericks, but they may be without star player Nikola Jokic, who is questionable due to personal reasons related to the birth of his second child. This marks his fourth consecutive game missed.

Jokic has been a standout performer, averaging nearly a triple-double this season. Meanwhile, the Nuggets hold a record of 8-5, placing them fifth in the Western Conference. The Mavericks, with a record of 8-7, are currently ninth and riding a three-game winning streak.
