Wed Mar 2721:20Nikola Jokic Playing Against Phoenix
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) will play on Wednesday versus the Suns. He didn't suit up for Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers because of back and hip soreness. However, the multi-time MVP returned for Monday's meeting with Memphis, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. Jokic has averaged 23.0 points, 10.5 boards, and 10.5 assists versus Phoenix this season, making him an ideal option for any fantasy lineup.

Wed Mar 2709:40Nikola Jokic Expected To Play Versus Suns
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) is probable for Wednesday's big Western Conference clash against Phoenix. The reigning Finals MVP is dealing with a couple of health issues right now, and he missed one game last week, but Jokic is trending toward playing on Wednesday. Jokic has averaged a triple-double against the Suns this season and is currently enjoying his second-best scoring month of the campaign. The Serbian superstar has produced 27.8 points in 11 March outings, along with 12.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.5 steals.

Mon Mar 2520:16Nikola Jokic Will Play On Monday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, back) will suit up for Monday's game against Memphis. He didn't play on Saturday versus Portland because of back and hip issues. However, truth be told, the Nuggets did fine without him. As always, Jokic is a must-start for any fantasy format. But if Denver builds a big lead over the shorthanded Grizzlies, he may spend more time on the bench. With that said, Jokic's return means DeAndre Jordan will head back to the bench.

Sun Mar 2421:21Nikola Jokic In Danger Of Missing Another Game
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies. The Nuggets have a slight edge over the Timberwolves in the Western Conference standings, so the team can't afford to not have their top player on the floor. However, considering Memphis is one of the worst teams in the league, Jokic might get another night off. If that's the case, he'd likely return on Wednesday against Phoenix. But until the multi-time MVP is back on the floor, DeAndre Jordan, averaging 16.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks in two starts this season, would be an ideal DFS value option.

Sat Mar 2317:25Nikola Jokic Won't Play Against Trail Blazers
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Portland. The team has downgraded him from a questionable status. Jokic sits out only his third game of the season. With backup center Zeke Nnaji (groin) also unavailable, we should see DeAndre Jordan moving to the starting unit, while Peyton Watson could be in for a busy night as a small-ball center. Denver is still expected to dominate the matchup, giving bench guys like Watson a chance to make a significant mark in the game.

Fri Mar 2222:39Nikola Jokic Questionable Against Portland
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) is questionable for Saturday's game in Portland. The back injury isn't anything new. But the hip issue is somewhat concerning. However, the multi-time MVP has only missed two games this season, so Saturday's meeting with one of the worst teams in the NBA is a good time to get a night off. With Zeke Nnaji (back) already ruled out, DeAndre Jordan might get some action in the middle. Jordan has started just one game this season, finishing with 21 points, 13 rebounds, two steals, and one block. With production like that, he'll see more than his share of attention from DFS managers looking for a value opportunity.

Sat Mar 920:41Nikola Jokic Cleared For Saturday Night
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (arm) is available for Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. He has a right arm bruise, although it will take more than that to keep him off the floor. The multi-time MVP has averaged 19.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in 30 games versus Utah throughout his career. While Jokic is a must-start in all fantasy formats, his matchup against Walker Kessler (foot), who will return from a four-game absence, isn't ideal for anyone.

Fri Mar 823:43Nikola Jokic Probable Saturday
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.

Fri Mar 810:06Nikola Jokic Posts Triple-Double In Win Over Celtics
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.

Mon Feb 2608:20Nikola Jokic At His Best Versus Warriors
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.

Wed Feb 2116:01Nikola Jokic Returns To Practice Wednesday
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.

Fri Feb 211:10Nikola Jokic Remains Questionable On Friday
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.

Wed Jan 3115:54Nikola Jokic Out With Back Pain
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.

Wed Jan 3111:53Nikola Jokic Questionable Wednesday
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.

Tue Jan 1618:27Nikola Jokic Will Play Against 76ers
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.

Mon Jan 1519:17Nikola Jokic Tagged As Questionable Against 76ers
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.

Tue Dec 12 202321:26Nikola Jokic Ejected From Tuesday's Game
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.

Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan, and Peyton Watson will likely get the extra minutes while two of them will move into the starting five.
