Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic knows his team could be at a matchup disadvantage against the Phoenix Suns. According to the Denver Post’s Mike Singer, Jokic will be holding his hands together, hoping the Suns do not do too much damage to the Nuggets’ defense this series.  

Jokic is one of the NBA’s best centers and will have his own threat against Phoenix, which needs a big effort from starting center Deandre Ayton to contain him. But the Nuggets will have a difficult challenge against the Suns, who have guards Chris Paul and Devin Booker and forward Kevin Durant to attack from midrange.
