Denver Nuggets have JOKic and Aaron Gordon, but they won't have Jamal Murray or Michael Porter Jr. in this series.

JOKic is averaging 28.0 points, 15.8 rebounds and 8. 8 assists per game against the Warriors this season. Golden state's net rating is minus-8.5 points per 100 possessions when Joksic's off the floor.
