As per the injury report, Jokic is fit and fine and will play against the Thunder. However, DaRon Holmes is the only Nuggets player on the list who is out for the season with an Achilles injury. However, the Thunder will meet Denver, boasting an impressive 68-14 record. They are looking to bounce back after narrowly losing 121-119 to the Nuggets.

Jokić fueled a second-half comeback against the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals with 42 points and 22 rebounds before Gordon hit a game-winning three in the final seconds to give Denver a 121-119 win.

Teams usually face an uphill climb just to play Nikola Jokić and the mile-high Denver Nuggets, but it could be the Nuggets facing an uphill battle in their second-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
