Nikola Jokic

Jokic missed Wednesday's game after putting up an historic performance with a 61-point triple-double in the double overtime loss to the Timberwolves on Tuesday. The 30-year-old center is likely to return Friday against the Warriors given his probable listing.

On this episode of Good Word with Goodwill, Vince and Jason Goff react to Russell Westbrook's blunders that ruined a historic night for Nikola Jokic, Steph Curry is refreshed and Draymond Green's issues with past eras of the NBA.

Denver will be without its entire starting five for Wednesday's game, which is being played one night after the Nuggets went two overtimes with the Timberwolves. DeAndre Jordan, Zeke Nnaji, and Jalen Pickett are three players who stand to benefit from Jokic and Murray's absences. Murray has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury.

Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

It's reasonable for Jokic to be a little gassed after posting a 61-point triple-double on Tuesday. On the other hand, Murray is looking to return from a two-game layoff. Deandre Jordan will likely fill in for Jokic if he's ruled out. Russell Westbrook, Jalen Pickett or Peyton Watson could fill in for Murray, though Watson is also listed as questionable.
