Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Will play against Brooklyn
Jokic missed the last two games due to illness but will return Saturday to face Brooklyn. The three-time NBA MVP is vital to Denver's success and will be a welcome addition to the lineup for head coach Mike Malone. He's averaging nearly a triple-double this season, with a career-high 31.5 points per game, along with 13.0 rebounds and 9.7 assists.
