The Nuggets are bound to feel the void left by Jokic in his first game sidelined. They'll be without four of their five regular starters, and will have to do it all on the road against one of the tougher teams out of the Eastern Conference.

Despite poor returns in voting, strong performances by Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram made their All-Star case.

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić, a 3-time Most Valuable Player, suffered a knee injury against the Miami Heat Monday, Dec. 29.

The Denver Nuggets continue their road trip as they face the Toronto Raptors Wednesday. Tip-off from Toronto, Ontario, is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.

Murray is the last healthy remaining starter for the Nuggets, who are expecting the most recent injury, a Jokić hyperextended knee, to keep him out for the next month or so.

Peyton Watson anotó 24 puntos, Jamal Murray tuvo 21 y los Nuggets de Denver ganaron su primer partido sin el pívot lesionado Nikola Jokic, venciendo 106-103 a los Raptors de Toronto la noche del miércoles.

The Nuggets pulled off a New Year’s Eve miracle without Nikola Jokic and three other starters. They also lost their second-string center along the way.

Bennett Durando: Nuggets have a -7 net rating with Jamal Murray and Jonas Valanciunas on/Nikola Jokic off. But we haven’t gotten to see very much of that duo + another starter. Murray-Valanciunas-Cam Johnson are +11.9 in 57 minutes w/out Jokic. Murray-Valanciunas-Aaron Gordon: +16.8 in 38 mins.
