On By Littum

The Denver Nuggets are headed for a quick two-game trip in Florida, where their first stop is the Miami Heat.

Friday night is the final meeting of the regular season for these two teams. The Nuggets were victorious in the first meeting, with a final score of 135-122. Nikola Jokic led the way with 30 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals while shooting 85/100/100 splits from the field. However, the injury report may prevent the possibility of seeing Jokic duplicate his performance again tonight.

The Nuggets have seven players on their injury report: Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Trey Alexander, Vlatko Cancar, DaRon Holmes II and Spencer Jones.

Nikola Jokic is currently listed as questionable with a right elbow sprain. It was a new injury that recently developed in Denver’s last game against Houston.

Jamal Murray is likely with left knee inflammation.
