The Nuggets are listing superstar big man Nikola Jokic as questionable against the Kings due to left ankle inflammation. Jokic has won three of the last four NBA MVP awards but could be having his best season to date.

While Jokic remains a statistical marvel, averaging a near triple-double and leading the Nuggets to a strong position in the Western Conference, Perkins' endorsement of James underscores the enduring greatness of the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

Longtime NBA center-turned-ESPN talking head Kendrick Perkins has weighed in on who he considers the top player in the league. In a bit of a surprise, Perkins rejected the notion that three-time MVP Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic is the NBA's best player.

"You take a look at his stat sheet, it doesn't always show what he does for us," Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said of Horford.

The Denver Nuggets are set to take on the defending champions, the Boston Celtics, at TD Garden on Saturday. This upcoming game will see Nikola Jokic leading his team into another tough road test against one of the best teams in the league.

The Celtics avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season Sunday with a gritty 110-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden.

Three-time Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic downplayed his limp after Sunday's loss in Boston, but he's on the Denver Nuggets' lengthy injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Sacramento at Ball Arena.

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic tends to have people note the way he moves up and down the court. And following an ankle tweak after the first jump ball against the Boston Celtics, he had a hilarious response to that moment.
