Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) will play on Tuesday against Dallas. The 29-year-old missed a few games recently due to an illness. Fortunately, he's been on the floor for Denver's previous two contests, combining for 54 points, 30 boards, 24 assists, and seven steals. With that in mind, Jokic has a favorable outlook versus Dallas on Tuesday night, considering he has averaged 29.7 points, 17.7 rebounds, and 11.3 assists in three meetings with the Mavs during the 2024-25 campaign.

The multi-time MVP has been under the weather, keeping him off the floor for recent meetings with the Celtics and Clippers.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against Dallas. The multi-time MVP continues to battle an illness, but he was able to return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Brooklyn, and the probable tag suggests that Jokic will likely be good to go on Sunday as well. It's been another remarkable campaign for Jokic, who leads the league with 15 triple-doubles and is averaging 31.6 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 9.9 assists. He's had massive triple-doubles in both previous meetings with the Mavericks this season.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) will play on Friday night versus Brooklyn. The multi-time MVP missed the previous two games because of an illness. However, after riding a questionable designation, fantasy managers figured he'd be back for this one after he went through pre-game warmups. As expected, Jokic should be added back to fantasy lineups for the favorable matchup versus the Nets, although his presence will mean fewer minutes for DeAndre Jordan and Dario Saric.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the visiting Nets. The 29-year-old hasn't felt well, keeping him off the floor for the Nuggets' previous two games. DeAndre Jordan most recently started in his place, finishing with 12 points, nine boards, and two steals against the Clippers on Wednesday night. If Jokic misses another game, Jordan and Dario Saric should continue to benefit, although both are risky fantasy options. But if Jokic returns to the lineup, he's a must-start against a Brooklyn squad that has been decimated by injuries.

Neither of them brought much to the table on Tuesday, so fantasy managers should probably be able to find better streaming options for Wednesday's slate.

Jokic is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to an illness. A decision on his game availability will likely be made closer to warmups.

The multi-time MVP is coming off a massive outing, amassing 46 points, 10 assists, nine boards, two steals, and two blocks in Saturday's win over Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Unfortunately, he'll miss Tuesday's contest, although fantasy managers are now hoping he'll suit up on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Without Jokic on the floor, Russell Westbrook, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. should get more scoring opportunities. DeAndre Jordan, Dario Saric, and Zeke Nnaji may also get more minutes. However, all three are risky fantasy options.

Jokic has been posting absurd numbers this season, including against the Mavericks in his most recent appearance. He racked up 37 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists, and three steals in a 122-120 win on Nov. 10. Jokic's return pushes Dario Saric back to the bench.

He's been much less productive scoring, notching only nine and 10 points in his two starts. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues may find more value in starting Saric but other fantasy managers and DFS players may be able to find better options.

He was listed as questionable heading into this one after missing Friday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to personal reasons. As a result, Dario Saric entered the starting lineup in that one and finished with nine points, eight rebounds, five assists, and one steal.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) won't play in Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The multi-time MVP hasn't missed a game all season. But he welcomed the birth of his new child, so he'll get the night off. His next chance to suit up will be on Sunday in Memphis. However, as far as Friday's contest is concerned, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan will presumably split time in the middle. Fantasy managers could also see Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Christian Braun pick up a lot of the slack on the scoring end with Jokic off the floor.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) is officially listed as questionable due to personal reasons on Friday. The three-time MVP missed three games throughout last season and hasn't missed one yet this year, so his absences are very few and far between. If he's unable to make it onto the court against the New Orleans Pelicans, the rotation will likely receive a huge shakeup. De'Andre Jordan will get some minutes while Zeke Nnaji could see a lot more opportunities as well. The biggest increases in usage would go in favor of Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Christian Braun, and Peyton Watson.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic stuffed the stat sheet but couldn't keep his team alive in Game 7 against the Timberwolves on Sunday. The 2023 champions blew a 15-point half-time lead to lose 98-90 despite Jokic posting 34 points, 19 rebounds, seven assists, and one block. After being voted the regular season MVP for the third time in his career, Jokic averaged 28.7 points, 13.4 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in the playoffs.

The three-time MVP put up 22 points, nine rebounds, two assists, and three turnovers while shooting 9-for-19 from the floor and 0-for-4 from deep. Jokic will likely bounce back, as will the Nuggets, while they go back home for a series-deciding Game 7. With how this series has gone so far, there aren't any promises just because the game is on their home court. Jokic remains a must-play in DFS as he's likely to provide some big points even if he has an off game.

He went 2-for-3 from downtown and added seven rebounds, 13 assists, two steals, and one block to his tally, becoming only the second player after Chris Paul to record a playoff game with 40-plus points, 10-plus assists, and zero turnovers. This also marks Jokic's highest-scoring game of the 2024 playoffs. Jokic, who received his third MVP trophy ahead of Tuesday's contest, has looked back to his best in the last couple of games, and it spells doom for the Timberwolves, who are now 3-2 down in the series after leading 2-0.
