Center Nikola Jokic leads Denver with 26.0 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game. Jokic has had to step up even more this season, as the Nuggets are playing without Jamal Murray (knee) and Michael Porter Jr (back). Denver has won and covered in six of its last seven games.

The Kings traded for Domantas Sabonis prior to the trade deadline earlier this month. He scored 33 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in Thursday's matchup with Denver. Point guard De'Aaron Fox has been the team's leader throughout the season, averaging 21.7 points and 5.1 assists per game.
