Nah. We have no answer for Joker. Come to think of it. Most teams don’t.

Jokic is one person and a center. Centers don’t take you far in todays game. Klay is back to form. You have Jordan Poole and Steph (greatest shooter of all time). Who on the Nuggets are guarding these players? Let’s not downplay the Warriors. The Warriors could win a championship with the team they have.

You also have a lot of quick guards who can shoot it or drive into the rim which is Denver's defense worst nightmare.
I think Jokic can win a couple of games by himself but if Curry is even near 100% to go the Warriors will win in the end.

Okay, Hernangomez is taking over now...

Luka's done for the 4th quarter. It's not guaranteed they're going to land in 4th but it's likely,

You may want to check how Denver answered your questions above this season. They had no problem.

Gobert had a strained calf this year and missed 6 or 7 games over 2 weeks.
Bogdanovic had a strained calf this year and missed 9 games over nearly 3 weeks.

Jazz were being cautious, but a strained calf is normally 7 - 10 days at least.

Pinson is getting a contract with the Mavs in the offseason. We always keep a locker room guy around and somebody else is getting Boban.

Mavs are kinda boned. That kind of muscle strain with a limp is at least 2-3 weeks. Don't want to push him back and cause long term issues.

An injury expert on Twitter pointed out that, on average, it's about 16 days this season. The minimum was 3 days.

You could argue that Luka shouldn't have been playing tonight, but those calf injuries are unpredictable and can pop up at the worst times.
