I actually hit an NBA total last night! Although it was nearly the ultimate bad beat in Warriors-Celtics in overtime (just like the Oakland-IUPUI game was a freaking awful beat by going to OT). Shall we try again? Denver has just downgraded Nikola Jokic to questionable -- and when players are downgraded at this time of day, it usually means they aren't playing. The Nugs have averaged 103.8 ppg in games without the MVP favorite this season and nearly 119 with. Indiana remains without its best offensive player in Tyrese Haliburton and averages about six points fewer when he's out.
