Nikola Jokic exploded in the Denver Nuggets' Tuesday night double overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with a 61-point triple-double. The Nuggets ended up losing by one point, 140-139, despite Jokic's efforts.
It was obviously a tiring game for Jokic and the rest of Denver's starting five. So, it may not be too surprising that four of the five starters are missing Wednesday night's game vs. the San Antonio Spurs. The back-to-back contests have been hard on many NBA players this season, but especially in this case, when the Nuggets played in two overtimes just the night before.
