Why the Raptors could negate Jokic despite question marks at the five
The Toronto Raptors don’t have a centre problem, and at the same time, they very much do.
When the Raptors take on the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, they’ll match up against the most dynamic offensive big man in the NBA – Nikola Jokic.
Despite Jokic’s dominance, there’s a realistic chance the Raptors produce his kryptonite. Denver currently ranks last in the league in offensive rebounds given up at 14.5 per game. Meanwhile, Toronto ranks first in offensive rebounds (15.3). Through sheer tenacity and effort, it could be enough to negate Jokic’s wizardry.
