HOUSTON — Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is expected to return to the Denver lineup during the team's upcoming five-game homestand, coach Michael Malone said. Jokic missed his fourth straight game Sunday, sitting out against the Rockets in Houston due to a left ankle impingement. Malone said Jokic was not expected to play Monday when Denver's homestand starts against the Chicago Bulls. Jokic, a three-time MVP, is averaging 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists this season. The Nuggets are 1-2 in the last three games without Jokic.
