Nikola Jokic Injury Update: Wednesday 3/26/25 vs. the Bucks

NBA DraftKings Network News Rail

By: Alex Hunter

UPDATE: Jokic is available.

After initially being listed as doubtful, Jokic ($12,500) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday’s matchup vs. the Bucks. The center has missed five games in a row with a sprained ankle and Jokic being upgraded is a strong sign that he will make his return Wednesday. While Jokic has been upgraded, the Nuggets downgraded Michael Porter Jr. ($7,200, back) to questionable, while Aaron Gordon ($6,500, calf) remains questionable.

Jokic is in the midst of another incredible season, averaging a triple-double of 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game in 62 starts. If the center suits up and either Porter Jr. or Gordon are out, Jokic will see his already massive role grow to new heights. Now, if Jokic remains sidelined, Jamal Murray ($8,600) will continue to be the Nuggets’ main option and his role could become an even stronger if Porter Jr. or Gordon are out as well. In Jokic’s absence, Murray is averaging 33.5 points, 7.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game in his last two starts (51.8 FPTS per game).

While Jokic, Porter Jr. and Gordon are all questionable, the Nuggets are a 9.5-point favorite over the Bucks on DraftKings Sportsbook, as Milwaukee will be without both Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) and Damian Lillard (calf) tonight.
