Sun Feb 5 202308:33Nikola Jokic Registers Another Triple-Double
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic posted a third-consecutive triple-double in Saturday's 128-108 win over the Hawks, tallying 14 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. He settled for only eight shots in the game, making five of them, and was 4-for-5 at the charity stripe with one steal, two blocks and five turnovers in 34 minutes. Jokic was a bit sloppy with the ball, but a triple-double typically keeps most fantasy managers happy. He now has 18 of them for the year and is even averaging one for the season. Only injuries can slow him down and Jokic has been dealing with a hamstring problem lately, which could keep him out of Sunday's matchup versus Minnesota. Zeke Nnaji has been the starter lately when Jokic has had a rest day.

Fri Feb 3 202317:45Nikola Jokic Questionable Again On Saturday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. The multi-time MVP continues to battle left hamstring tightness, an ailment that's kept him off the court sporadically over the last few weeks. With Denver playing back-to-back meetings over the weekend, it wouldn't be a surprise if Jokic misses at least one of them. If that's the case, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji will receive more work. However, Nnaji may be the biggest beneficiary on the fantasy end.

Fri Jan 27 202322:31Nikola Jokic Expected To Play Versus Philadelphia
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hamstring) is expected to play on Saturday in Philadelphia. The multi-time MVP has been in and out of the lineup of late because of hamstring tightness. However, he should be good to go after sitting out the team's recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Jokic is having another fantastic year, averaging 25.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, and a career-high 9.9 assists, so he remains a must-start, despite a tough matchup with Joel Embiid on tap.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hamstring) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Zeke Nnaji made a couple of strong starts in Jokic's absence last week and should be a good streaming option for managers again Wednesday if Jokic can't play.

Tue Jan 24 202319:16Nikola Jokic Available Tuesday Against New Orleans
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hamstring) is available to play Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Zeke Nnaji played well in Jokic's absence, but will head back to the bench in a limited role. The Nuggets play again Wednesday so it remains to be seen if Denver wants to sit Jokic for the second night of a back-to-back set.

Mon Jan 23 202322:06Nikola Jokic Remains Questionable Tuesday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jokic has missed two straight games with hamstring tightness and the Nuggets are entering a back-to-back set of games. Jokic has a chance to play in either, but the Nuggets could be cautious with their star center.

Sat Jan 21 202321:31Nikola Jokic Uncertain For Sunday's Meeting With OKC

If Jokic misses another game, Nnaji has plenty of appeal for those looking to fill a void in their fantasy lineup.

Fri Jan 20 202315:49Nikola Jokic Tagged As Questionable For Friday Versus Pacers
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for the game against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. The reigning MVP has posted three consecutive triple-doubles and the team is currently on an eight-game win streak. If he can't suit up, that's a big blow to the Nuggets' chances of winning as they're 2-2 so far in games that Jokic has missed. DeAndre Jordan would serve as a streaming option in deeper leagues if need be.

Fri Jan 13 202314:49Nikola Jokic Won't Suit Up On Friday Versus Clippers
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) has been officially ruled out on Friday due to a right wrist issue. The injury doesn't seem to be serious as it's listed as injury management, so it sounds like more of a rest day. Either way, the Nuggets will have to fill his minutes with some sort of combination of DeAndre Jordan, Vlatko Cancar, and even Zeke Nnaji. Cancar would probably be the safest streaming option of the three since he's already getting some steady minutes.

Five of Jokic's triple-doubles have come this month and he even finished December averaging a 30-point triple-double, so something must have ticked him off.
