Probably not very well. They play my Raptors tomorrow night, so good timing for the Raps. They should win that game. Should being the operative word.
Nuggets were horrible last year when Jokic wasn't on the floor. They have been a bit better in that category this year but I was watching that game against the TWolves on Christmas night and when they took Jokic out in the 2nd Q the TWolves immediately went on a 17-0 run.
Sadly I don't think he will be eligible for MVP now. Maybe if he comes back right at the 4 week mark but NBA has a rule now that players need to play 65 games to be eligible for post season awards. If he misses all of January but plays every game for the rest of the season he will be at 63.
So he would have to come back right at the 4 week mark to play the last two games in January to be eligible.
Will be instructive to see how Denver does without him.

Agreed. Hopefully this makes it extraordinarily clear, even more than now, who the real MVP is.

Infuriating.
I’ll trade you KAT for Jokic straight up
You are going to have to throw in some sats to help pay KAT's contract. KAT + SATS.
Send me your best offer.
Yeah, I really thought it sounded like he'd be gone for a year.
Blessing for nuggets fans
