Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard was not available after he flew back to Los Angeles before the game to help his family deal with the wildfires. Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was out

Luckily, LA's window to beat the Nuggets just burst open, as superstar center Nikola Jokic has officially been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with an illness. Jokic, 29, is averaging 31.5 points, 13.

The Celtics withstood a valiant upset bid by the Nuggets without Nikola Jokic to close out their road trip with a 118-106 win in Denver.
