Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against Dallas.

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. |

Fri Jan 10 | 20:40 | Nikola Jokic Will Play On Friday Night |
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. |

Thu Jan 9 | 20:49 | Nikola Jokic Questionable Versus Brooklyn |
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. |

Wed Jan 8 | 19:26 | Nikola Jokic Unavailable On Wednesday |
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar center will now miss his second game in a row due to an illness. The Nuggets are likely going to use a committee approach to fill help the void. Dario Saric and DeAndre Jordan should both see more minutes during Wednesday's game. 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. |

Tue Jan 7 | 21:13 | Nikola Jokic Out On Tuesday Night |
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) won't play on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. 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. |

Mon Nov 18 2024 | 21:50 | Nikola Jokic Still Questionable Heading Into Tuesday |
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. If he's unable to play it will be his third straight game missed. Expect Dario Saric to be back in the lineup on Tuesday if the 29-year-old doesn't play. Saric has started both games that Jokic has missed and has provided decent fantasy value from a rebounding perspective, grabbing eight and 10 boards in his two starts. 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. |

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.

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. |

Mon May 20 2024 | 10:11 | Nikola Jokic Ends Season With Another Huge Stat Line |
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. With him having not even hit 30 years of age, the Jokic era in Denver has a long way to go, and he will continue to be an elite fantasy asset for quite some time. |

Fri May 17 2024 | 11:38 | Nikola Jokic Drops 22 Points In Loss |

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.

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. |

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. |
