Gobert, a four-time Defensive Player of the Year, has managed to slow down Jokic a bit in 2024-25. In this season's previous three meetings with the Timberwolves, Jokic has averaged 26.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 9.3 assists.

Nikola Jokic Returns To Action Against Bucks
1 week agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will be back in action on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has upgraded his status a few times throughout the day and has now announced that Jokic is officially available. Jokic's return is great news for the Nuggets, but it's unfortunate for fantasy managers who were hoping for at least one more productive outing from DeAndre Jordan, who has started the last two games. The veteran big man could now be completely out of the rotation against the Bucks.

Nikola Jokic Not Expected To Return On Wednesday
1 week agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will likely remain on the shelf for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team lists him as doubtful on the injury report. This would mark his sixth consecutive absence due to an issue with his left ankle. DeAndre Jordan has started in the last two games Jokic has missed. The veteran has shown that he can still get the job done, averaging 10.5 points and 16.0 rebounds. However, Jordan may have a tougher time filling the stat sheet on Wednesday, as Milwaukee allows the fifth-fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.
