Game Preview

Last year the Denver Nuggets had the reigning MVP but were left off the NBA’s Christmas Day schedule, which some viewed as a snub.

Nikola Jokic winning the MVP for a second straight year was too much for the NBA to ignore, so Denver is anchoring the daylong slate of Sunday games. The Nuggets will host the Phoenix Suns in the late matchup, but they won’t have their full complement of players.

Forward Jeff Green suffered a sprained left finger and a hand fracture in Friday’s game and will miss at least four weeks, so he will not be on the primetime Christmas showdown.
