Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (arm) is expected to play against the Utah Jazz on Saturday despite having an injury designation going into the game. Fantasy managers can expect him to take on his usual workload against the Jazz. In his most recent game against the Celtics, Jokic finished with his 20th triple-double of the season and 125th of his career. He scored 32 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, provided 11 assists, and secured two steals while shooting 11-for-19 from the floor and a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic worked his magic again in a 115-109 win over the East-leading Boston Celtics on Thursday night. The two-time MVP finished with his 20th triple-double of the season and 125th of his career. He registered 32 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, and two steals while shooting 11-for-19 from the floor and a perfect 10-for-10 from the charity stripe. Jokic and company continue to have the Celtics' number despite this Boston team beating up on almost all of their competition. Jokic remains a top-two fantasy asset in the NBA and can carry fantasy teams to the promised land of a championship. Their next game will be against the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was unstoppable against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, leading his team to a 119-103 win with a big triple-double. He posted 32 points with 16 rebounds and 16 assists. In 37 minutes on the court, Jokic also collected a nice amount of defensive stats by tallying four steals and one block. He shot 13-for-24 from the field with a 2-for-6 record from deep. This was Jokic's third career triple-double with at least 30 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists -- only Oscar Robertson has managed more (11). Based on his standards, Jokic has had a couple of quiet weeks this month, but it's safe to say he's on the roll again, with the former MVP posting three consecutive triple-doubles since returning from the All-Star break.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic returned to practice on Wednesday after head coach Michael Malone excused him from Tuesday's practice due to his All-Star responsibilities. The MVP favorite played 23 minutes in the All-Star game, contributing 13 points, four rebounds, and nine assists in the West's 211-186 loss to the East on Sunday. Jokic is expected to be fully prepared for the stretch run of the year, set to return at home against the Wizards tomorrow. He's maintaining impressive averages of 26.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 8.9 assists in 33.8 minutes per game this season.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) drew another questionable tag on Friday while he deals with lingering effects from lower back pain. The two-time MVP was forced to miss their last game on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder and had to watch a five-point loss. Now, the Nuggets will take on a team at the opposite end of the standings in the Portland Trail Blazers. It wouldn't be surprising if the team just played it cautiously with Jokic, but he also hasn't had to miss much time throughout his career. If he remains on the sidelines for another game, Peyton Watson or DeAndre Jordan will enter the starting five. Jordan did not play in their last contest, so Watson, Christian Braun, and Zeke Nnaji saw some extra opportunities.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is listed as out for Wednesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lower back pain will cause a rare absence for Jokic, who hasn't sat out since late November. The 28-year-old two-time MVP sounds to be day-to-day and hopes to return when the Nuggets host the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. Veteran DeAndre Jordan put on a vintage performance in a spot start when Jokic was out on Nov. 27 against the Los Angeles Clippers, posting 21 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block. Jordan sets up as a strong plug-and-play option as Denver's probable starting center in both DFS and season-long formats despite Chet Holmgren (ankle) suiting up for the Thunder.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder. The reigning Finals MVP is dealing with lower back pain and might sit out only his second game of the season. Jokic's only previous absence came on Nov. 27 against the Clippers, when Denver completed a back-to-back. DeAndre Jordan got a start against his former team and had a big game with 21 points and 13 rebounds. It's unlikely he will repeat the effort on Wednesday if Jordan gets the call again.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is good to go for Tuesday's battle against the Philadelphia 76ers. Dealing with a strained left hip, Jokic has been upgraded from probable to available and hasn't missed a game since Nov. 27. The Joker is notching top-five fantasy numbers on averages of 25.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.0 triples, and 2.1 combined steals plus blocks this season and will duke it out with fellow MVP candidate Joel Embiid in Wednesday's clash. Make sure Jokic is in all season-long lineups for the start of Denver's five-game East Coast road trip against the Sixers.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) has been tagged as questionable for their Tuesday matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is a much-anticipated matchup to see the reigning MVP Joel Embiid go up against the former two-time MVP Jokic. Everyone will have to wait and see if he's able to play through a left hip strain though. The Serbian superstar has only missed one other game so far this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if the team decided to play it safe. If he's unable to play, DeAndre Jordan would likely move into the starting five while Jay Huff or Zeke Nnaji would get some added minutes off of the bench. Jordan would be the better streaming option of the three though.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar big man was tossed for arguing a call with a little over a minute left before halftime. Jokic will finish the time with four points, nine rebounds, and six assists in 16 minutes of action. The assumption is that fellow big man DeAndre Jordan will see more playing time with Jokic unavailable for the rest of the night.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar big man was questionable coming into this game after sitting out on Monday. Despite that, Jokic will suit up and is expected to play his normal role during Wednesday's game. DeAndre Jordan will head back to the bench, but could see more playing time with Aaron Gordon (heel) unavailable on Wednesday. Fantasy managers who have Jokic rostered can get him back in their lineups now.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar big man missed Monday's game, but the team still won with DeAndre Jordan filling in at center. The expectation is that Jordan would start once again, assuming Jokic isn't cleared to play. There could be some streaming value there with Hunter Tyson (illness) questionable as well. The Nuggets might be forced to give Jordan big minutes on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday night and will not face the Los Angeles Clippers. That means three of the team's best players Jokic, Jamal Murray (hamstring), and Aaron Gordon (heel) will all be sidelined. Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan, and Peyton Watson will likely get the extra minutes while two of them will move into the starting five.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to lower-back pain, while forward Aaron Gordon (heel) has been ruled out with a right heel strain. Jokic hasn't missed a game yet this year, but it's worth noting that Monday is the second end of a back-to-back after Denver beat the San Antonio Spurs 132-120 on Sunday. Jokic, who is averaging 28.8 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists in 33.8 minutes over 17 games, would likely be spelled by a DeAndre Jordan spot start if he's unable to go, with Zeke Nnaji also figuring to enter the fray. With Gordon, who is averaging 13.1 points, 7.2 boards, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks in 33.9 minutes across 16 games, out for a second consecutive night, Justin Holiday and Peyton Watson will likely be tasked to soak up extra playing time on Monday. The Nuggets are back in action on Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets, which marks Gordon's next chance to play.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) was dealing with some lower back pain but he will play against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night. The two-time MVP was originally listed as probable for this matchup, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he'll suit up. Aaron Gordon (heel) will not play, however, so the frontcourt will be pretty thin, which means plenty of usage for Jokic is on the horizon.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The multi-time MVP is battling back soreness. However, this isn't anything new, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about his availability, considering he hasn't missed a game all year. Jokic is having another phenomenal season, averaging a career-high 28.2 points with 13.5 rebounds, 8.9 assists, and 1.2 steals. Of course, he should be starting in all fantasy lineups. But with Jamal Murray (hamstring) still shelved, he could continue to benefit in all statistical areas.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his sixth triple-double of the season in Wednesday's 124-119 defeat to Orlando. After being limited to just 15 minutes in the previous game due to an ejection, Jokic thoroughly enjoyed a 36-minute outing, putting up 30 points on 12-for-18 shooting with 13 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals, and two blocks. Four of Jokic's triple-doubles have come in the past eight games. He's playing sensational basketball right now, and there's very little teams can do to slow Jokic down.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has been ejected from Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It was a tough night for the Nuggets, as head coach Mike Malone was ejected from the game during the first quarter. After that, Jokic was tossed from the game in the second quarter after receiving two technical fouls. He finished the game with nine points, five rebounds, and five assists. The absence of Jokic leaves a significant hole to fill in the rotation. Zeke Nnaji should see time in the rotation and DeAndre Jordan could see action as well without Jokic available anymore.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic tallied his fifth triple-double of the season on Friday with a 28-point, 16-rebound, and 18-assist effort in a 115-110 loss at New Orleans. The former MVP, who matched his career high for assists in the game, added one steal and one block on the defensive end while shooting 10-for-20 from the field. Seven of Jokic's misses came with eight attempts from behind the arc. The Nuggets star has been a bad man throughout the opening weeks of the season, recording 29.7 points with 14.1 rebounds and 9.2 assists. He's fifth in scoring in the league, first in rebounding, and third in assists, which is simply ridiculous.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic continued his triple-double magic during the team's upset loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The two-time MVP finished the game with 36 points, 21 rebounds, 11 assists, one block, and three turnovers while shooting 13-for-26 overall and 2-for-6 from beyond the arc. This is the type of performance that we've all grown accustomed to with Jokic which seems absurd. He's still the number-one fantasy asset in category and points leagues and he doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon.
