Mon Apr 1509:33Nikola Jokic Wraps Up Regular Season With 68th Double-Double
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic eased his way to his 68th double-double of the year in Sunday's 126-111 win over Memphis, completing the regular-season finale with 15 points and 15 rebounds. Jokic, who shot 7-for-11 from the field, also had five assists and stretched his streak with multiple steals to five games with four swipes. The two-time MVP posted a new career-high in double-doubles this year and registered 25 triple-doubles. He ended up averaging 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists. It's been another spectacular campaign for Jokic, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn MVP honors again. The big man from Serbia will now begin the title defense with the team in the 2024 playoffs as the second seed in the Western Conference.

Fri Apr 1219:16Nikola Jokic Will Meet The Spurs
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) will play on Friday versus San Antonio. No surprise here, as the multi-time MVP has been on the injury report over the last few weeks.

Thu Apr 1120:01Nikola Jokic Expected To Play On Friday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is anticipated to suit up on Friday versus the Spurs. The multi-time MVP's presence on the injury report was expected, considering he's appeared on it over the last few weeks. But the Nuggets are fighting to keep a grasp on the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference, so head coach Mike Malone can't afford to rest his starters. With that in mind, Jokic had 42 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks when these clubs met back on April 2, making it likely he'll see plenty of interest from DFS managers, and rightfully so.

Wed Apr 1021:41Nikola Jokic Cleared To Suit Up Wednesday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is available for Wednesday's pivotal clash with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 29-year-old had a 28-point, 13-rebound double-double in Tuesday's win over the Utah Jazz. However, he once again made an appearance on the injury report, although that's been a theme over the last few weeks. But now that Jokic is officially cleared, DFS managers should strongly contemplate getting him in their lineups, considering he's averaged 30.7 points and 12.0 rebounds in three meetings with the Timberwolves during the 2023-24 campaign.

Wed Apr 1009:40Nikola Jokic Fills Up Stat Sheet Versus Jazz
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic shook off hip inflammation to fill up the stat sheet against the Jazz in Tuesday's 111-95 win. He had a 28-point, 13-rebound double-double with seven assists, three steals, and a block. The former MVP hit both of his attempts from deep and finished with 12-for-20 overall shooting. On the downside, Jokic's stat line included five turnovers in 34 minutes, and he has been careless with the ball all month, averaging 4.5 turnovers for April. The hip issue doesn't appear to be affecting Jokic, as he's picked up 11 consecutive double-doubles. The Serbian superstar needs two more across the final three regular-season games to celebrate a new career high.

Mon Apr 820:58Nikola Jokic Probable Versus Utah
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is probable ahead of Tuesday's game against Utah. He's been living on the injury report for the last few weeks. However, the Nuggets are still fighting for the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference, meaning the multi-time MVP should be on the floor. Jokic is having another fantastic year. He could also be in for a big night versus the Jazz, considering he won't have Walker Kessler (nose) or John Collins (back) to deal with.

Fri Apr 519:30Nikola Jokic Probable For Saturday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. The MVP candidate will likely suit up despite dealing with left hip inflammation. He was also previously battling a wrist injury, but that ailment is no longer listed on the injury report. A healthy Jokic is terrific news for both the Nuggets and fantasy managers as he continues another season of dominance. In his most recent game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, he recorded a triple-double (36 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists).

Wed Apr 320:42Nikola Jokic Probable For Thursday Night
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup with the Clippers. The multi-time MVP has routinely appeared on the injury report over the last few weeks. However, he looks better than ever, considering he amassed 42 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks in Tuesday's 110-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs. DFS managers should expect to see him out there versus Los Angeles, and his fantasy outlook could be brighter if Jamal Murray (ankle) misses a seventh consecutive contest.

Tue Apr 220:13Nikola Jokic Cleared For Action Against The Spurs
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist) will play on Tuesday versus the Spurs. He has frequently appeared on the injury report over the last week or so. However, Jokic only missed one game during that span, so most had anticipated he'd be out there. With that said, the multi-time MVP has averaged 35 points, nine boards, and seven assists in two games against San Antonio this season, making him an ideal option for all DFS lineups.

However, he only missed one game during that span. As usual, Jokic has had an excellent year. But considering he's averaged 35 points in two meetings with the Spurs this season, he's a lock for DFS contests for those willing to deal with his hefty rostering cost.

Sun Mar 3115:16Nikola Jokic Will Play Against Cleveland
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist, hip) has been upgraded from a probable status to available ahead of Sunday's matchup against Cleveland. The former MVP has missed only a handful of games all season and is ready to lead the charge again on Sunday, with Jamal Murray (knee) remaining on the shelf. Facing Cleveland's twin towers of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley won't be easy, but Jokic very rarely disappoints fantasy managers and has posted outstanding numbers at both ends of the floor lately.

Sat Mar 3022:42Nikola Jokic Probable Against The Cavs
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist, hip) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the visiting Cavaliers. The multi-time MVP has been burdened by several ailments over the last week or two. However, it would be tough to tell, considering he amassed 32 points, 10 boards, five assists, two steals, and one block in 37 minutes in Friday's loss to Minnesota. Denver has a chance to claim the top spot in the Western Conference for the postseason, so Jokic should be on the floor on Sunday. But if he's not, DeAndre Jordan would see more than enough interest from DFS participants.

Thu Mar 2820:15Nikola Jokic Probable Against Minnesota
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back/hip) is listed as probable heading into Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The two-time MVP is dealing with hip and back inflammation, but he has played the last two games after sitting out one. Jokic is favored to win another MVP this season, and the Nuggets are fighting for home-court advantage in the Western Conference to make his playing status more important. Stats come easy to Jokic to make his health a significant variable for fantasy teams if he plays his usual minutes. Jokic missing games sees Aaron Gordon, DeAndre Jordan, and Peyton Watson increase their value, but he should suit up Friday in an important game for postseason seeding.

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.
