Nikola Jokic's Status Uncertain for Nuggets' Second Matchup Against Mavericks

Denver aims to extend its winning streak while Dallas faces challenges with injured stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Nikola Jokic is listed as questionable due to illness for the Nuggets' second consecutive game against the Mavericks in Dallas.
Denver won the first game on Sunday, 112-101, with strong performances from Jokic and Russell Westbrook, who tallied 19 points and 21 points respectively.
The Mavericks remain shorthanded as Luka Doncic is sidelined with a calf strain and Kyrie Irving's status is upgraded to questionable with a back sprain.
Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, and Julian Strawther are also listed as probable due to injuries, potentially impacting Denver's lineup.
The Nuggets have won seven of their last nine games, while the Mavericks have lost six of their past eight, struggling without their top players.
