The Denver Nuggets have won five of their last seven games, heading into a matchup against a weaker Brooklyn Nets team on Friday. The Nuggets have been carried by superstar center Nikola Jokic this season, averaging 31.5 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 9.7 assists per game, as he seems to be on his way to his fourth NBA MVP win in five years.

"Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf strain) intends to make his return today against the Dallas Mavericks after missing the previous nine games," Haynes reported. With a starting lineup of Westbrook, Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Gordon and Jokic, the Nuggets will be getting a glimpse of who they could roll out come playoff time.

On Sunday afternoon, the Denver Nuggets will host the Dallas Mavericks in Colorado. For the game, the Nuggets could be without one of their best players, as Jamal Murray is listed as questionable on the injury report.
