After being listed as questionable on the injury report with a right first MTP sprain, Steven Adams is a go and in the starting lineup for the New Orleans Pelicans matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
That’s welcome news considering the opposing center tonight is Nikola Jokic, the favorite to win the 2021 Most Valuable Player Award.
In addition to the announcement of Adams being available, James Johnson will also suit up. However, Stan Van Gundy state to pregame media that the reserve forward’s minutes will be limited so the trick will be to use him wisely.
