Nikola Jokic had 31 points and 12 rebounds in his first game in a month, Tim Hardaway Jr. added 22 points and the Denver Nuggets knocked off the Los Angeles Clippers 122-109 on Friday night.

Valanciunas is expected to play through another probable tag related to his calf injury.

It was reported on Jan. 27 that Jokic wouldn't be re-evaluated for another week, but the superstar center is ahead of schedule in his rehab and will bolster Denver's frontcourt.

Jamal Murray scored nine of his 27 points in the final 2:26, and the Nuggets spoiled Michael Porter Jr.'s return to Denver with a 107-103 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night.
