Jokic posted 36 points (13-27 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 18 rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and two blocks in 39 minutes during Monday's 130-127 loss to the Bulls.

Jokic paved the way for the Nuggets, leading his team in points, rebounds and assists. However, it wasn't enough to outduel the Bulls, who received significant help from the bench. Jokic has now secured two straight triple-doubles, marking eight in 13 appearances so far this season.

Jokic (wrist) is good to go for Monday's matchup with the Bulls.

Jokic was being listed as probable for Monday's game and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. Make sure you've got the perennial MVP candidate active.

Jokic is probable for Monday's game against the Bulls due to a left wrist sprain.

Jokic has been dealing with a sprained wrist of late, but he has yet to miss a game this season. Over his last five appearances, Jokic is averaging 35.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.8 minutes per contest.

Jokic ended Saturday's 123-112 win over the Timberwolves with 27 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes.

Jokic led all players in scoring and delivered another efficient performance en route to his seventh consecutive game with at least 25 points. The three-time MVP contributed across the board, securing his seventh triple-double in 13 regular-season games. The superstar center continues to impress early on, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 35.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Additionally, he has shot 74.4 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from beyond the arc during that span.

Jokic (wrist) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jokic will shed his questionable tag due to a sprained left wrist and suit up Saturday. The three-time MVP has been incredible to start the season, and he has averaged 36.2 points, 13.0 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 32.8 minutes per game over his last five outings. He has shot 76.4 percent from the field and 64.7 percent from three-point range during that span.

Jokic (wrist) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Jokic is dealing with a wrist sprain, putting him in danger of missing his first game of the year. The superstar big man could test of his wrist during Saturday's pregame warmups before the Nuggets reach a decision on his status. Jonas Valanciunas would be in line for a spot start at center if Jokic sits out, while Zeke Nnaji could handle the backup role in this case.

Jokic generated 55 points (18-23 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes of Wednesday's 130-116 win over the Clippers.

The Clippers had no answers for Jokic from the jump, as the superstar center scored 25 points in the first quarter. Per independent NBA writer Justin Russo, Jokic became the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 55 points in a game on a 90 percent true shooting percentage. It was Jokic's fourth career game with at least 50 points. In 11 appearances during 2025-26, Jokic is averaging 28.8 points, 13.1 rebounds, 10.9 assists and 1.8 steals across 33.9 minutes.

Jokic generated 32 points (10-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 14 rebounds, 14 assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's 117-100 win over the Pacers.

After recording his first game without a double-double or better in Friday's win over the Warriors, Jokic stuffed the stat sheet Saturday. The three-time MVP led all players in points, rebounds and assists and was one of five Nuggets players to score in double figures. He also dished out double-digit assists for the seventh time in nine regular-season appearances.

Jokic logged 26 points (12-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 129-104 victory over the Warriors.

Jokic managed his massive total despite sitting for the entire fourth quarter. The superstar came achingly close to his sixth triple-double of the season, a benchmark the he reached four consecutive times to begin the 2025-26 campaign.

Jokic generated 33 (12-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 15 rebounds, 16 assists and three steals across 37 minutes of Wednesday's 122-112 win over the Heat.

Per Adam Mares of TheDNVR.com, It was Jokic's seventh career 30/15/15 game, which trails only Oscar Robertson (11) in NBA history. The 30-year-old center has picked up right where he left off after the 2024-25 season, having delivered a triple-double in five of his seven appearances during the new campaign. He's averaging 24.1 points, 13.4 rebounds and 12.0 assists with a 70.1 true shooting percentage.

Jokic amassed 34 points (14-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 assists, seven rebounds, four steals and two blocks over 36 minutes in Monday's 130-124 win over the Kings.

Jokic delivered an efficient performance from the field and recorded a game- and season-best mark in points. He has posted at least 20 points in four straight games. The superstar center also dished out a game high in assists en route to his sixth consecutive game with a double-double or better to start the season. The three-time MVP was a major contributor on the defensive end as well, notching game highs in steals and blocks.

Jokic generated 21 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 28 minutes of Wednesday's 122-88 win over the Pelicans.

Jokic has now amassed a triple-double in four straight games to open the season, and while his rebound and assist totals didn't go far into double figures, snaring a triple-double in just 28 minutes is quite a feat. The center had played 32 or more minutes in his first three games of the season. Jokic had two triple-double streaks of at least four games, with one ending at four and one stopping after five.

Jokic accumulated 25 points (9-10 FG, 7-7 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes in Monday's 127-114 win over the Timberwolves.

Jokic was wicked Monday, missing just one shot from the field while pacing all players with 19 rebounds and 10 assists. The superstar center has now posted a triple-double in each of the Nuggets' first three games after racking up 34 during the regular season last year. As impressive as this start has been for the three-time MVP, he's yet to fully showcase his elite scoring touch, suggesting even bigger performances could be on the horizon.

Jokic notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 assists, 14 rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes in Saturday's 133-111 win over the Suns.

Jokic stuffed the stat sheet, recording his second triple-double in as many games. The superstar took limited shot attempts but led all players in assists and rebounds, while also tying the team high in steals in the blowout win. Jokic has totaled 35 points, 27 rebounds, 25 assists and four steals while shooting 41.9 percent from the field across 72 minutes through two regular-season games.

Jokic produced 21 points (8-23 FG, 2-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors.

Jokic looked on as teammate Aaron Gordon dropped a stellar 50 points during the OT defeat, but Jokic still propped up the squad with one of his usual triple-doubles in the opener. Although Jokic can carry a team on his own, his job is much easier when role players like Gordon put in solid performances.

Jokic (rest) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Jokic, along with several other starters, rested in Denver's preseason finale. But with the Nuggets submitting an empty injury report for Thursday's contest, Jokic and crew will be a full go. Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game during the 2024-25 regular season, setting career highs in points, assists and steals.

Jokic won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

Jokic, Jamal Murray, Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon will all take a seat Friday but should be back in action for Denver's regular-season opener against the Warriors on Thursday. The perennial MVP candidate averaged a triple-double in 36.7 minutes per game last season.

Jokic produced 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 preseason win over the Clippers.

The perennial MVP candidate came within sniffing distance of a triple-double even with a reduced preseason workload. This season, Jokic has perhaps the best backup he's seen in a long while in Jonas Valanciunas, which could allow the Nuggets to scale back his regular-season workload a bit after he averaged a career-high 36.7 minutes a contest in 2024-25. Even if his minutes drop back into the 33-34 range however, Jokic should remain a nightly triple-double threat and the clear top fantasy asset in the game.

Jokic compiled 17 points (5-5 FG, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 preseason win over Toronto.

Jokic was perfect from the field during the win. We should continue to see limited minutes from the All-Star during the preseason to keep him fresh and healthy for the regular season. The perennial MVP candidate is expected to have another monster season ahead, with triple-double performances setting the gold standard for multi-category producers in the league.

Jokic contributed 14 points (4-5 FG, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes in Saturday's 126-116 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.

Jokic led Denver in rebounds and tied the team high in points during a near-perfect performance from the field. The three-time MVP has finished in the top two of MVP voting in five consecutive seasons and is coming off arguably the best campaign of his career. Over 70 regular-season appearances in the 2024-25 season, the 30-year-old big man averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.8 steals per game, shooting 57.6 percent from the field and a career-high 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Jokic closed with 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 win over Houston.

Sunday's performance was subpar by Jokic's standards, as the nightly triple-double threat played somewhat passively to stay fresh for the playoff run. The Rockets limited minutes for their starters, and Jokic did more than enough to keep Alperen Sengun in check while he was on the floor. Jokic finished the season as the third player in NBA history to finish with a triple-double. Over 69 games, he averaged 29.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks.

Jokic ended with 26 points (11-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 16 rebounds, 13 assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Friday's 117-109 victory over the Grizzlies.

Jokic recorded yet another triple-double, helping the Nuggets to a crucial victory. This means he will now end the season averaging a triple-double, becoming just the third player in history to do so. Both he and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander appear to be neck-and-neck when it comes to this year's Most Valuable Player award. No matter the result, Jokic has once again put together an MVP-caliber season which will likely have the Nuggets in the thick of it when it comes to the postseason.

Jokic notched 20 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Kings.

It's the 33rd triple-double of the season for Jokic, and his fourth in six appearances since returning from an ankle injury. The perennial MVP candidate is averaging 36.8 points, 12.2 boards, 9.8 assists, 2.8 threes and 2.3 steals during that six-game stretch, and the Nuggets' shocking late-season coaching change doesn't seem to have derailed Jokic's focus or momentum as the team tried to make sure it avoids dropping back into the Play-In Tournament.

Jokic produced 41 points (18-33 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 125-120 loss to the Pacers.

Jokic was dominant on both ends of the court, and it wasn't surprising to see the star big man ending with another triple-double after he operated as the main scorer and playmaker due to the absence of Jamal Murray (hamstring). Jokic has recorded three triple-doubles in five games since returning from a five-game absence in mid-March due to a left ankle impingement, a span in which he also posted a career-high 61 points in a loss to Minnesota on April 1.

Jokic ended with 33 points (13-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 118-104 loss to the Warriors.

Jokic needed one more assist to hit the triple-double milestone, and he was Denver's best weapon on both ends of the court while the team suffered its third consecutive loss. Jamal Murray's (hamstring) absence has compromised the team's efficiency, but Jokic will always be a valuable fantasy target, win or lose.

Jokic (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Jokic will return to the lineup after a one-game absence, and he'll look to build off his epic performance the last time he saw the court, when he posted a career-high 61 points in a double-overtime loss to the Timberwolves on April 1. Jokic is averaging 32.8 points, 13.0 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Jokic will return to the floor for the Nuggets on Friday after missing Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to an ankle issue. The superstar is coming off a career-best 61-point triple-double in a heartbreaking loss to the Timberwolves and will be looking to bounce back against Golden State on the road.

Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic will not play in the second game of a back-to-back Wednesday against the Spurs. The superstar big man continues to manage an ankle injury during the final stretch of the regular season. Denver will likely Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan to pick up the slack in the frontcourt in Denver.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Jokic is coming off a career-best 61 points in the loss to the Timberwolves and may end up missing the second night of a back-to-back against the Spurs on Wednesday. If the superstar big man is ruled out, the Nuggets will likely lean heavily on Aaron Gordon (calf), Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Jokic amassed 61 points (18-29 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 19-24 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 53 minutes during Tuesday's 140-139 double-overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

The extra overtime periods allowed Jokic to drop 61 points on the Timberwolves, which marked the highest scoring total in the NBA this season. The 61/11/10 line also represented the third 60-point triple-double in league history. Despite the massive game by Jokic, the hard-fought matchup that had 21 lead changes resulted in a loss for the Nuggets. Denver faces a back-to-back game at home against the Spurs, but Jokic will probably suit up due to potential absences from Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Michael Porter (personal).

Jokic (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jokic will suit up for his third straight outing following a five-game absence due to a left ankle impingement. Over his last two appearances, the three-time MVP has amassed 66 points, 24 rebounds, 16 assists and four steals across 70 total minutes. He has shot 55.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc in that two-game span.

Jokic (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota.

Probable tags have been par for the course for Jokic lately, so this won't be a shock to fantasy managers. In his last two appearances, Jokic has been exceptional with 33.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Jokic finished with 27 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 129-93 win over the Jazz.

Jokic finished just four assists away from recording a triple-double, but his ability to fill the stat sheet wasn't the only thing that stood out. The star center will probably be remembered for the insane buzzer-beater he sank with a one-handed three-pointer from behind the half-court logo. This was the sixth straight game in which Jokic scored more than 25 points, a span in which he's also recorded three double-doubles and one triple-double.

Jokic (ankle) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Jazz.

Jokic is dealing with an ankle issue, but that won't keep him off the floor on Friday. The three-time NBA MVP is coming off a 39-point triple-double against the Bucks and seems to be firing on all cylinders ahead of Friday's matchup against the Jazz.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Jokic has been managing an ankle injury but is trending toward playing against the Jazz on Friday. The superstar big man is coming off an impressive 39-point triple-double in Wednesday's win against the Bucks, as he continues to make a case to win another NBA MVP award.

Jokic logged 39 points (16-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 127-117 victory over Milwaukee.

Jokic returned to the starting lineup following a five-game absence due to an ankle injury and did it in style, notching his 30th triple-double of the season and delivering a few jaw-dropping highlights in the process. Perhaps even more important is the fact that the star big man looked healthy and without any rust from his previous absence, so fantasy managers should be confident in Jokic handling his regular workload just in time for the fantasy playoffs.

Jokic (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

This is a huge boost for the Nuggets, as their star center will return from a five-game absence. He should handle his regular workload on both ends of the court and will likely have a very high usage rate out of the gate. Prior to the five-game absence, Jokic was averaging 29.3 points, 13.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in eight outings since the beginning of March.

Jokic (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Jokic was previously listed as doubtful, but now there's a good chance he returns from a five-game absence. If he does get the green light, Jokic could face restrictions in his first game back. Look for DeAndre Jordan to move back to the bench if Jokic is cleared.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Jokic is trending toward missing a sixth straight game for the Nuggets while nursing a left ankle issue. Denver will likely continue to lean on Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) if he's cleared to play against Milwaukee. If Gordon and Jokic cannot play Wednesday, the Nuggets may give Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan more minutes on the floor.

Jokic (ankle) will not play Monday against the Bulls.

As expected, Jokic will be sidelined for a fifth straight contest. Head coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Jokic is expected to return at some point during Denver's homestand, however, putting a possible return against the Bucks on Wednesday on the table. DeAndre Jordan could draw another start after a strong showing versus Houston on Sunday.

Head coach Michael Malone said Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but he will play at some point during the team's five-game home stand, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic has missed the last four games due to a left ankle issue but he will be returning to the lineup at some point during the team's home stand, which begins Monday against the Bulls and concludes April 2 against San Antonio. Coach Malone's comments make it seem unlikely that Jokic will suit up Monday, so he could be aiming for a return Wednesday against the Bucks. In the meantime, Jamal Murray will likely carry the load offensively with Aaron Gordon also getting extra looks, and DeAndre Jordan figures to continue seeing increased run at the center position.

Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Jokic will miss a fourth straight game for the Nuggets while nursing a left ankle issue. With the superstar big man still on the mend, Denver will likely continue to lean on Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Jokic will miss a third straight game for the Nuggets while dealing with an ankle issue. Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) will likely continue to shoulder the load in the frontcourt, as he is listed as probable for Friday in Portland.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Wednesday will mark a second straight absence with ankle and foot injuries for Jokic, who sees his next chance to play arrive Friday against Portland. The Nuggets shifted Aaron Gordon to the center spot Monday against the Warriors, with Hunter Tyson and Peyton Watson joining the first unit in that one due to Jamal Murray's (ankle) absence as well.

The Nuggets are "leaning against" playing Jokic (elbow/ankle) against the Lakers on Wednesday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Jokic appears to be trending towards a second consecutive missed game due to a right elbow contusion and left ankle impingement. Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) got the start at center against the Warriors on Monday, and he would likely stay at the five if Jokic is indeed ruled out.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Jokic continues to deal with a right elbow contusion and a left ankle impingement, which could hold him out for a second consecutive contest Wednesday. If the superstar big man is sidelined once again, Zeke Nnaji and Vlatko Cancar could see an uptick in playing time. Jokic has made eight appearances in March, during which he has averaged 29.3 points, 13.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 1.6 steals across 39.8 minutes per contest.

Jokic (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Head coach Michael Malone noted a few hours before tipoff that he didn't expect Jokic to be available Monday, and the team has since downgraded the big man to out. Look for Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan to hold down the center position in Jokic's absence.

Head coach Michael Malone doesn't think Jokic (elbow) will play in Monday's game against the Warriors, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Official confirmation on the superstar big man's status should arrive closer to Monday's tipoff, but fantasy managers shouldn't plan on having Jokic available against the Warriors. Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan would figure to split the center minutes if Jokic is ultimately ruled out.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Jokic has been on the injury report as of late due to both a right elbow contusion and left ankle injury. He's been able to play through those issues and should be able to do so again Monday, even with the questionable tag. Jokic has averaged 29.3 points, 13.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks over 39.8 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Jokic closed with 40 points (16-30 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Wizards.

Jokic logged his 52nd outing with a double-double or better while stuffing the stat sheet once again Saturday, albeit in a losing effort. The three-time MVP posted a game-high mark in points, though he struggled from beyond the arc. He has shot only 28.6 percent from downtown in 13 outings since the All-Star break. During that 13-game span, Jokic has averaged 26.8 points, 13.8 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.5 steals across 38.5 minutes per contest.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Jokic was expected to suit up Saturday, so his upgrade in status isn't surprising. The star big man has been playing at a high level all season long and it wouldn't be surprising if he dominates the Wizards, as he posted a season-high 56 points in a loss to Washington on Dec. 7. Jokic is averaging 27.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Wizards.

Jokic continues to deal with a left elbow contusion and left ankle impingement but is expected to make his 28th straight appearance Saturday. If the superstar center is upgraded to available, there is no indication he will operate on a minutes restriction.

Jokic ended Friday's 131-126 win over the Lakers with 28 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 12-17 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes.

Jokic's result on Saturday was below average by his standards, as he failed to hit the double-double milestone for the 16th time over 61 games. Denver's inability to pull away from the short-handed Lakers is a cause for concern, and it's imperative for Jokic to play closer to his triple-double averages as Denver jockeys for playoff position.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Jokic was listed as probable, so the upgrade in status isn't surprising, as he hasn't missed a game since mid-January. The star big man, who's a strong candidate for the MVP award, is averaging 27.7 points. 14.8 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game across six appearances in March.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Jokic is dealing with a right elbow contusion and a left ankle impingement, though he is still likely to face the Lakers on Friday. The three-time MVP hasn't missed an outing since Jan. 15. Over his last five appearances, Jokic has averaged 29.2 points, 15.0 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.4 steals across 40.4 minutes per game. The big man has shot 56.6 percent from the field in that five-game span.

Jokic produced 34 points (13-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 loss to Minnesota.

The three-time MVP saw his double-double streak end at seven games, but he still led all scorers on the night. Jokic continues to add to his skill set in his age-29 season -- he's recorded at least one steal in 13 straight contests, averaging 26.6 points, 13.9 boards, 1.07 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.5 threes and 0.7 blocks over that stretch while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Jokic continues to deal with a right elbow contusion and a left ankle impingement but hasn't missed a game since Jan. 15. Considering the superstar big man has played over 40 minutes in each of his last three outings, he is unlikely to operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available yet again.

Jokic closed with 35 points (15-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 18 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 140-127 victory over the Thunder.

The clash between the top two teams in the Western Conference went Denver's way thanks to a massive performance from Jokic, as the perennial MVP candidate led all players on the night in points and boards and tied Cason Wallace for the most dimes, too. Jokic has recorded at least a double-double in 11 straight games, nabbing triple-doubles in five of those contests, and over that stretch he's averaged 24.7 points, 15.1 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.4 threes and 0.7 blocks while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Thunder.

Jokic was tagged as questionable leading up to tipoff, but he'll ultimately get the green light to run the floor. He's off to a strong start to March, averaging 24.3 points, 15.8 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 1.8 steals in four appearances.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Jokic continues to battle a lingering ankle injury, and he was clearly managing an elbow issue during Sunday's loss to the Thunder. However, coach Michael Malone said the MVP candidate is fine after the game. If Jokic is sidelined for the rematch, Zeke Nnaji (ankle), DeAndre Jordan and Peyton Watson are candidates for increased roles.

Jokic had 24 points (10-23 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Sunday's 127-103 loss to the Thunder.

Jokic once again impacted every aspect of a game for Denver, leading all players in assists and blocks while finishing second among Nuggets in rebounds and concluding with a team-high-tying scoring total in a near triple-double. Jokic tied a season high in blocks, a mark he also posted Jan. 19. He has now recorded a double-double in 49 outings this season.

Jokic (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

As expected, Jokic and Aaron Gordon (ankle) have been upgraded from probable to available. Jokic is coming off a historic performance against the Suns on Friday, becoming the first player in NBA history to record at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists in a game.

Jokic recorded 31 points (13-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 21 rebounds, 22 assists and three steals across 45 minutes in Friday's 149-141 overtime win over the Suns.

Jokic became the first player in NBA history to record at least 30 points, 20 boards and 20 assists in a single game. The star center took over the game on multiple occasions and carried Denver to a huge overtime win whole doing something no other player in the history of the league had ever done. Posting these numbers isn't something new for Jokic, though. This was his 23rd game with at least 30 points and his fifth with at least 20 boards, but it was his first with 20 or more dimes in 2024-25. Doing it all at the same time, though? That's something that had never been achieved in league history until this epic effort from the three-time MVP winner. He also has four triple-doubles in eight contests since the end of the All-Star break.

Jokic has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Suns.

Jokic is having another MVP-caliber season for the Nuggets, and despite dealing with an ankle issue, he'll be on the floor for Denver on Friday against Phoenix. The superstar big man is averaging career-high numbers in points (28.8), rebounds (12.8), assists (10.4) and steals (1.8), shooting 57.6 percent from the floor and a career-high 43.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.

Jokic has missed only six games all season for the Nuggets, and it's possible he could miss another against Phoenix. If the three-time NBA MVP can't play against the Suns, Denver could turn to DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nanji (ankle) to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Jokic had 22 points (9-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 victory over the Kings.

Jokic was a question mark earlier in the day, but he showed up and played his usual critical role for the Nuggets in the win. Although Jamal Murray and Russell Westbrook outscored him, Jokic's 15 rebounds led the team in typical fashion.

Jokic (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against Sacramento, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic was initially questionable for Wednesday's contest as he battled inflammation in his left ankle, but the injury will not prevent Jokic from suiting up. In his last 10 games, Jokic is averaging 25.4 points, 12.7 rebounds, 11.1 assists and 1.7 steals across 34.9 minutes.

Jokic (ankle) is going through his pregame routine ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kings, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic remains questionable for the contest due to inflammation in his left ankle. However, it's encouraging to see him go through pre-game warmups. Fantasy managers should monitor his status as we approach the game's 9:00 pm ET tipoff. Should Jokic sit, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji would see an uptick in minutes.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Jokic has played in all but six games for Denver this season while staying healthy and available for his team for the majority of the 2024-25 campaign. However, if he's ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, the Nuggets will likely have to lean on DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji to pick up the slack, especially if Aaron Gordon (ankle) is also unable to play.

Jokic finished with 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 110-103 loss to Boston.

Jokic once again put forth a well-rounded showcase Sunday, leading all Nuggets in rebounds and assists while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points and one dime short of a triple-double. Jokic has posted at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in six of his last 10 contests.

Jokic racked up 23 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 17 rebounds, 15 assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 134-119 victory over Detroit.

Jokic didn't have his most efficient performance, but the fact that he still made 50 percent of his shots from the field goes to show just how good he's been throughout the campaign. Furthermore, this was his seventh triple-double across 12 games since the beginning of February, and it was also the sixth time this season he posted at least 20 points, 15 boards and 15 dimes in a single game. Jokic has picked things up right where he left them off after the All-Star break, averaging 22.8 points, 14.0 rebounds, 12.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his last five outings.

Jokic recorded 32 points (13-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 37 minutes in Thursday's 121-112 loss to Milwaukee.

Jokic once again did it all for Denver in Thursday's contest, shooting a near-perfect mark from the field while pacing all Nuggets in scoring, rebounds and assists in another triple-double performance. Jokic has been a triple-double machine all season long, recording his fifth triple-double over the last 10 games.

Jokic ended Monday's 125-116 win over the Pacers with 18 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 19 assists, nine rebounds, four steals and one block across 39 minutes.

Jokic finished as one of five players on the Nuggets to score at least 16 points. However, it was his ability to stuff the stat sheet on both ends of the floor that stood out Monday. The three-time MVP recorded a season high in assists, marking his 32nd game dishing out double-digit dimes across 52 regular-season appearances. Jokic also logged four steals in the win, and he has now racked up multiple swipes in 29 outings.

Jokic supplied 29 points (11-22 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 129-115 victory over the Hornets.

The perennial MVP candidate fell one dime shy of his 26th triple-double of the season, instead settling for his 42nd double-double. The 14 three-point attempts were also a career high for Jokic, topping the 13 he hoisted up Feb. 5 against the Pelicans. The veteran center has scored at least 26 points in nine straight games, averaging 30.0 points, 11.6 boards, 10.9 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.8 steals and 0.7 blocks over that stretch while shooting 61.7 percent from the floor.

It was the 25th triple-double of the season for Jokic, and he remains firmly on pace to break his career-high mark of 29, set over 58 appearances in the 2022-23 season. Jokic has scored more than 25 points in eight straight games, an impressive run even by his lofty standards, and he's averaged 30.1 points, 11.1 assists, 10.9 boards, 1.9 steals and 1.9 threes during that span while shooting 63.4 percent from the floor.

Jokic recorded 40 points (15-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 146-117 win over Portland.

Jokic produced his seventh game of the campaign with at least 40 points in this blowout win. Denver is in the midst of a seven-game unbeaten run and Jokic has been the top nine-category fantasy producer in that stretch with 30.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.1 three-pointers.

Jokic finished Saturday's 122-105 victory over Phoenix with 26 points (11-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and nine assists across 29 minutes.

The perennial MVP candidate almost certainly would have secured his 25th triple-double of the season if he hadn't taken a seat for the entire fourth quarter in a big win. Jokic has recorded at least a double-double in five straight games to begin February, averaging 29.4 points, 11.6 assists, 11.2 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks so far this month.

Jokic had 28 points (11-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 assists, 10 rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 112-90 victory over the Magic.

Jokic dominated while leading the Nuggets with game-high marks in both rebounds and assists. The superstar also finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Michael Porter (30 points). Jokic has racked up five consecutive contests with a double-double better, and in that five-game span, he has averaged 29.8 points, 12.4 assists, 10.8 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 35.4 minutes per game.

Jokic produced 38 points (15-28 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 win over the Pelicans.

Jokic logged 36 minutes in the blowout win, but the Nuggets could have easily prevailed with far less input from the All-Star. Wednesday marked Jokic's fourth consecutive game with a double-digit assist total, and his 11th time hitting the milestone in 12 games.

Jokic accumulated 28 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, 13 assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 137-134 victory over the 76ers.

The perennial MVP candidate nearly collected his 22nd triple-double of the season, instead settling for his 35th double-double -- fourth in the league behind Domantas Sabonis (42), Karl-Anthony Towns (38) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (36). Jokic is having a career-best campaign as a distributor, and he's even picked up the pace in that regard over the second half of January -- he's recorded double-digit dimes in eight of his last nine appearances, averaging 23.8 points, 11.7 boards, 11.2 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.6 threes and 0.9 blocks while shooting 65.4 percent from the floor and an eye-popping 50.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Jokic ended Wednesday's 122-112 loss to New York with 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes.

Jovic is having arguably the best season of his NBA career for the Nuggets this season, but he couldn't get going the way he usually does during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. The three-time NBA MVP finished with single-digit assists and rebounds for the first time since Dec. 28. He's currently averaging a triple-double with a career-high 29.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game, which shows this was likely nothing more than an off night for the superstar big man who got in foul trouble early against New York.

Jokic finished with 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 assists and three rebounds in 32 minutes during Saturday's 133-104 loss to Minnesota.

Jokic was limited on the offensive end compared to his usual production, though he still racked up 20-plus points for the 35th time this season. The MVP candidate logged a game-high mark in dimes, though he also recorded his second-lowest rebounding total of the season during the blowout loss.

Jokic secured his fifth consecutive triple-double, and he posted at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists for the second time this season. The MVP candidate has also recorded at least three combined steals-plus-blocks in three straight outings. The superstar has stuffed the stat sheet while shooting an efficient 67.7 percent from the field over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 23.2 points, 15.0 rebounds, 11.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks in 31.4 minutes per contest.

Jokic contributed 27 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and four steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 144-109 win over the 76ers.

As if four straight triple-doubles wasn't impressive enough, Jokic has completed the triple-doubles before the end of the third quarter in each of these four contests, and Tuesday's blowout win wasn't the exception. The star big man is fueling the Nuggets' revival and has been nothing short of spectacular in recent weeks, posting video-game-like numbers with an efficiency that's rarely seen at the highest level. He's averaging 27.2 points, 14.1 rebounds and 10.9 assists per game while shooting 56.1 percent from the floor and 41.4 percent from beyond the arc across nine games since the beginning of January.

Jokic recorded 20 points (7-9 FG, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and three steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 113-100 win over the Magic.

Jokic has recorded a triple-double in 18 outings this season, his first of which was accompanied by three blocks and three steals. He set a new season high in blocks in a game, surpassing his previous season high of two blocks which he has tallied on four occasions.

Jokic (elbow) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Magic.

After sitting out the second game of a back-to-back Wednesday due to a sore elbow, the 29-year-old center returned to the court and delivered his league-leading 17th triple-double of the season, more than double second-place LeBron James' eight. Through seven appearances in January, Jokic is averaging 28.3 points, 14.3 boards, 11.1 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.4 threes.

Jokic (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the Heat.

After sitting out Wednesday's game versus Houston, Jokic will shake off a questionable tag after making it through warmups without any setbacks -- he was sporting a sleeve on his elbow, for what it's worth. DeAndre Jordan will likely slide to the bench with Jokic back in the mix.

Jokic (elbow) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

After missing Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Jokic's status for Friday's matchup with the Heat is in doubt. The three-time NBA MVP was sorely missed against Houston, with Denver being blown out by 20 in Denver. If Jokic can't get back on the floor Friday, the Nuggets will likely start DeAndre Jordan for a second straight game. The veteran big man finished with zero points, eight rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 23 minutes against Miami.

Jokic (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

After dropping a triple-double in Monday's win over the Mavericks, Jokic won't play against the Rockets on Tuesday due to right elbow inflammation. The superstar big man is putting up some of the best numbers of his career for the Nuggets and will be sorely missed against a good Houston squad. DeAndre Jordan and Dario Saric could see a bump in minutes with the three-time NBA MVP on the mend.

Jokic closed Tuesday's 118-99 victory over the Mavericks with 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 29 minutes.

Jamal Murray stole the show with an epic 45-point performance, so Jokic took a backseat in the scoring column Tuesday. However, the star big man still found a way to make an impact and notched his third triple-double across six January appearances. Jokic continues to have an MVP-caliber season and is averaging close to a triple-double this season, with averages of 30.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 9.9 assists per contest across 34 appearances.

Jokic (illness) has been cleared for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Jokic will face the Mavericks for a second straight game, which bodes well for the Nuggets in this matchup.

Jokic (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Jokic is still dealing with a lingering illness that held him out of two consecutive contests. However, the three-time MVP has appeared in each of the club's last two outings, during which he has averaged 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds, 12.0 assists and 3.0 steals in 38.5 minutes per game. In the unlikely event that Jokic is unable to go, DeAndre Jordan and Dario Saric are candidates for increased roles.

Jokic logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 victory over Dallas.

Jokic delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the court, and the star big man finished just one assist away from recording yet another triple-double. Jokic has grabbed more than rebounds a whopping 11 games this season, and it's easy to run out of adjectives to describe just how impressive he's been throughout the campaign. He's averaging 32.8 points, 14.8 rebounds and 11.6 assists per game over his five appearances this month.

Jokic (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Jokic (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Jokic finished Friday's 124-105 win over the Nets with 35 points (14-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 15 assists and four steals over 38 minutes.

The combination of Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook overpowered the Nets, with both players notching triple-doubles in the victory. Jokic ranks third in the NBA with 145 career triple-doubles trailing only Westbrook and Oscar Robertson in the category. The Nets only played eight players and were hampered with injuries, so while the win wasn't much of a surprise, the team is thrilled to have Jokic back at full strength after his recent illness.

Jokie (illness) has been cleared to play Friday against the Nets, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Jokic missed the last two games due to illness but will return Saturday to face Brooklyn.

Jokic (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

This update comes from the official injury report, so fantasy managers don't have much information to operate with just yet. Presumably, the Nuggets will re-evaluate the big man closer to warmups before a decision is made. Dario Saric started in his place Tuesday against Boston, but had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and one block across 17 minutes.

Jokic (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic attempted to go through pregame warmups while dealing with the illness, though he was seen leaving the arena and was eventually ruled out for the marquee matchup.

With the three-time MVP sidelined, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji are candidates for increased roles.

Jokic (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Even though he finished just one rebound shy of another triple-double, Jokic was outstanding on offense and finished with his third-best scoring mark of the campaign. He has six games with at least 40 points in only 31 regular-season contests.

Jokic amassed 41 points (15-36 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 18 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 113-110 loss to the Spurs.

Jokic had to carry the Nuggets on offense in this game, as evidenced by the fact he attempted 36 shots, his second-highest mark of the season behind the 38 shots he put up during his 56-point outburst against the Wizards on Dec. 7. Despite the final outcome of the game, there's no question fantasy managers will remain extremely happy with the big man's elite numbers across the board.

The superstar stuffed the stat sheet with at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists for the fifth time in his 10-year career during the regular season.

Jokic delivered an impressive performance Saturday, missing just six of his 17 shots from the field while ending only one board and two dimes away from recording what would've been his 13th triple-double of the season -- and sixth since the beginning of December.

Jokic accumulated 27 points (12-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 149-135 loss to the Cavaliers.

Jokic recorded his league-leading 12th triple-double of the season, but as has happened in other games. it wasn't enough to carry the Nuggets to victory -- Denver has gone 7-5 when Jokic records a triple-double this season. Collective struggles aside, Jokic continues to have an elite individual season, and he should continue to benefit fantasy managers who decided to draft him in the early stages of the first rounds. Jokic has also scored at least 25 points in each of his last five contests.

Jokic had 25 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-100 loss to the Suns.

Jokic's 15-rebound output was his second-best mark in that category during the month of December, and the star big man continues to show an elite ability to impact the game in several areas every time he steps on the hardwood. Jokic has notched four double-doubles and four triple-doubles across 11 December outings, averaging 31.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in that span.

Jokic recorded a triple-double for the fourth time across nine December appearances, and if that figure sounds low, it's because the star big man accomplished that feat seven times in his first 11 outings of the campaign. Jokic continues to deliver as a first-overall pick across all fantasy formats, and managers who trusted him to be the first pick are certainly reaping the benefits of what has been an outstanding individual season for the three-time MVP winner.

Jokic closed with 34 points (13-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 loss to Portland.

Jokic had an excellent shooting night, but the Nuggets were solidly outclassed off the glass in the loss, mostly due to Jokic's poor result in the category. Jokic has dipped below 10 rebounds only five times this season, and his inability to reach a double-double should be considered an outlier event. He currently ranks fifth in the league with 18 double-doubles, but he leads the league with 10 triple-doubles.

Jokic amassed 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 130-129 win over the Kings.

Jokic was coming off a 16-point, seven-rebound effort in the Dec. 13 win over the Clippers, and while that was a subpar line for his standards, the star big man didn't waste time to bounce back and deliver the numbers fantasy managers have grown accustomed to seeing off him this season. This was his 10th triple-double of the season, and Jokic should be in line for another loaded stat line Thursday in a favorable matchup against the Trail Blazers.

Jokic closed with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 120-98 win over the Clippers.

The fact that this stat line is called subpar shows how good Jokic has been this season, and he's justified as the top overall pick in most drafts due to his impressive contributions. This was just the third time across 20 games in which the star big man didn't record a double-double or a triple-double. Jokic is averaging 35.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game since the beginning of December, so he should get back to posting his elite numbers sooner rather than later.

Jokic closed with 48 points (17-29 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 win over the Hawks.

Jokic followed up a career-high 56 points during Saturday's loss to the Wizards with another stellar performance in Sunday's blowout victory. The three-time MVP logged game highs in both points and rebounds while recording his 16th double-double across 19 regular-season outings. Over his last five appearances, Jokic has averaged 39.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.6 steals while shooting 55.3 from the field in 38.4 minutes per contest.

Jokic totaled 56 points (22-38 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to Washington.

As crazy as it sounds, Jokic's impressive performance, which included a career-high scoring mark, wasn't enough for the Nuggets, as they still suffered a nine-point loss against a Wizards team that was riding a 16-game losing skid before this matchup. There aren't enough adjectives to describe just how good Jokic has been this season, and he remains an absolute stud in all fantasy formats while also emerging as a realistic MVP candidate. The star big man has nine triple-doubles and seven double-doubles in 18 contests in 2024-25.

Jokic finished Thursday's 126-114 loss to Cleveland with 27 points (13-26 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 20 rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 39 minutes.

Jokic dominated Thursday's contest, putting together eye-popping numbers en route to yet another triple-double performance. Jokic led all players scoring, rebounds and assists, matching a season high in boards while posting his second game with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds this season. Jokic has tallied a triple-double on nine occasions thus far, including in two of his last three outings.

Jokic provided 38 points (14-24 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and five steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 119-115 win over the Warriors.

Jokic finished four assists from what would've been his ninth triple-double of the season, but he excelled on both ends of the court once again. The star big man extended his red-hot start to the campaign, and he's averaging 30.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his last six appearances since returning from a three-game absence in mid-November due to personal reasons.

Jokic logged 28 points (12-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.

Even though the Nuggets came up short of getting the win Sunday, Jokic made history with his league-leading eighth triple-double of the season. He racked up the 138th triple-double of his career and tied Magic Johnson for third all-time in league history, an impressive feat given Jokic's size and skill set. Jokic has been an excellent fantasy option across all formats, and there aren't enough adjectives to describe how good he's been for Denver this season. In 15 games, Jokic is averaging 29.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game, establishing new career-high marks in every one of those categories.

Jokic racked up 30 points (13-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 win over Utah.

The short-handed Jazz had no answer for Jokic, who made plays all the court. The All-Star is back to his winning ways since his three-game absence while the Jazz went 1-2 without him. Since his return, he's averaged 29.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 8.0 assists.

Jokic closed Monday's 145-118 loss to the Knicks with 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 32 minutes.

Jokic didn't record a double-double or a triple-double just for the second time this season, and this tells you all you need to know about how dominant the three-time MVP winner has been in 2024-25. Despite the subpar outing -- according to his recent standards -- Jokic still finished just three boards and three assists away from another triple-double. His ability to impact the game in multiple ways is what has him as the best player in fantasy across all formats this season -- and by a considerable margin.

Jokic closed Saturday's 127-102 win over the Lakers with 34 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes.

Jokic carried the Nuggets on offense in this huge win over the Lakers, and his playmaking and scoring prowess sparked Denver's impressive second-half comeback. The three-time MVP winner snapped his streak of five consecutive triple-doubles, though he finished just two dimes away from reaching that mark once again. The star big man has been absolutely dominant this season, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 29.8 points, 14.8 rebounds and 12.3 assists per game since the beginning of November.

Jokic recorded 33 points (13-22 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 17 rebounds and 10 assists over 39 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to Dallas.

The perennial MVP candidate missed the prior three games to be with his family as his wife gave birth to their second child, but Jokic didn't miss a beat in his return, producing his fifth straight triple-double and seventh of the season in 11 contests. Friday's game was his first of 2024-25 in which he didn't record a block or a steal, however. Jokic is averaging 30.0 points, 14.0 boards, 11.5 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks to begin the season, numbers that would be career highs almost across the board if he can keep them up, and he's shooting an eye-popping 58.5 percent from three-point range.

Jokic (personal) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Jokic missed the Nuggets' last three games due to personal reasons, but he will be on the floor Friday. In the 10 regular-season games prior to his absence, Jokic averaged 239.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks over 38.1 minutes per game.

Jokic (personal) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Jokic didn't participate in Thursday's practice and is in danger of missing his fourth consecutive matchup while tending to a personal matter. The team should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.

Jokic (personal) wasn't present at Thursday's practice, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Jokic has missed Denver's last three contests due to personal reasons. The superstar center's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with Dallas.

Jokic (personal) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic will miss his third straight game for personal reasons and it remains unclear when he'll be back with the team. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Friday's game against Dallas. Dario Saric is likely to remain in the starting lineup in the meantime.

Jokic (personal) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic has already missed two straight games for personal reasons and may be absent for a third. Dario Saric has moved into the starting lineup in Jokic's absence, totaling 19 points, 18 rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 66 minutes over the past two games -- both losses.

Jokic (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic will miss a second straight game due to personal reasons. Dario Saric started in Jokic's absence Friday and played 34 minutes. Jokic's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday during a rematch against the Grizzlies.

Jokic is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to personal reasons. If the superstar center is unable to suit up against Memphis, Dario Saric could draw another start.

Jokic (personal) won't play in Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

Jokic will miss his first game of the season Friday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to personal reasons. Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan and Dario Saric are all candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Jokic's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Memphis.

Jokic is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

Jokic does not appear to be injured, though he is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season Friday. If the three-time MVP is unable to play, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan are both candidates for an increased role.

Jokic racked up 37 points (13-21 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 18 rebounds, 15 assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 win over Dallas.

Jokic has been the best player in the league over the first two-and-a-half weeks of the regular season, and it hasn't been even close that he's also been the consensus No. 1 player across all fantasy formats. He's posted four straight triple-doubles and already has six on the season despite playing just 10 games. He's also averaging a ridiculous stat line of 28.5 points, 14.7 rebounds, 13.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks per game since the beginning of November.

Jokic registered 30 points (11-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 14 assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Friday's 135-122 victory over Miami.

Jokic has recorded three straight triple-doubles. During that stretch, the three-time MVP has averaged 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds, 14.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks in 39.0 minutes per game.

Jokic chipped in 23 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 20 rebounds, 16 assists, two blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 victory over the Thunder.

It's hard to describe Jokic's impressive performance in this game, and based on how impactful he was in the win, this one could easily go down as one of the best performances Jokic has delivered in recent memory. He's been at the center of the Nuggets' turnaround following a woeful start to the season. The star big man is averaging 26.6 points, 15.4 rebounds and 13.4 assists per game over his past five contests while carrying Denver to a 4-1 record -- and a three-game winning run -- in that stretch.

Jokic finished Monday's 121-119 victory over the Raptors with 28 points (10-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes.

Jokic's red-hot start is a surprise to no one, as the perennial All-Star is a nightly triple-double threat who can dominate in all facets of the game. Despite the temporary loss of Jamal Murray (concussion), the Nuggets have won three of their last four games due in large part to Jokic and strong performances from the supporting cast.

Jokic notched 27 points (10-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 129-103 victory over the Jazz.

Jokic has been outstanding in the first two weeks of the regular season and has been a stat-filling machine, notching two triple-doubles and three double-doubles in six appearances. The star big man is already in midseason form and is already justifying being the first overall pick in most drafts. He's averaging 29.8 points, 12.3 rebounds and 9.8 assists per contest.

Jokic produced 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, 13 assists, one block and three steals over 40 minutes during Friday's 119-116 loss to Minnesota.

The perennial MVP candidate came within a board of his third triple-double in five games to begin the campaign. Jokic has never averaged a triple-double over a full season, but he's pulling it off so far, delivering 30.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.0 assists a contest while adding 2.6 threes, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks. Jamal Murray (concussion) left Friday's game early, so Jokic could take on an even bigger offensive load in the short term.

Jokic recorded 29 points (9-16 FG, 11-13 FT), 18 rebounds, 16 assists and one block in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime win over the Nets.

Jokic set season-highs in rebounds and assists Tuesday while recording his second triple-double in four outings to start the 2024-25 campaign. Jokic also coughed up just one turnover against Brooklyn. The reigning MVP is off to a blistering start this year and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Jokic ended with 40 points (18-27 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 44 minutes during Monday's 127-125 overtime victory over the Raptors.

Jokic seems to have taken over any offensive plan the Nuggets might have and is doing things by himself, controlling the flow of the offense and determining when to attack and when to feed his teammates. Fantasy managers will certainly appreciate the high usage rage, but Jokic has proven to be a player who can fill the stat sheet even without an astronomically high usage. The numbers don't lie, and Jokic is averaging a monster line of 32.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks per game through his first three outings of the 2024-25 campaign.

Jokic recorded 41 points (14-26 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block across 37 minutes in Saturday's 109-104 loss to the Clippers.

The Nuggets struggled with their shot during the first half, and while Jokic took over in the second half, it wasn't enough to give Denver its first win of the season. The star big man made a career-high seven three-pointers in this game, and while the Nuggets are stumbling to start the season, Jokic's early-season numbers suggest fantasy managers will remain very happy with his overall contributions.

Jokic logged 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 102-87 loss to the Thunder.

Jokic began the 2024-25 season in typical fashion, piecing together a triple-double despite the blowout loss. We should expect another battle for the lead in double-double and triple-double races with Domantas Sabonis, who actually bested him in both categories last season.

Jokic (rest) will be available for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic didn't play in Tuesday's game against the Thunder, but the star big man will feature in Denver's preseason finale. With all the starters available, Jokic is highly likely to be part of the starting unit alongside Jamal Murray, Michael Porter, Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun.

Jokic won't play in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Thunder for rest purposes, Nuggets writer Matt Brooks reports.

Jokic hasn't suffered any injury but is sitting out Tuesday alongside Jamal Murray and Russel Westbrook. Jokic's next chance to suit up is Thursday's preseason finale against Minnesota.

Jokic posted 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 FT, 0-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, nine assists and a steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.

Jokic put together an impressive performance Sunday, posting game-highs in rebounds and assists and tying for a game-high 21 points. Although it was a solid night out for the three-time MVP, he did cough up six turnovers and missed all five of his three-point shot attempts.

Jokic posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes in Friday's 107-103 preseason loss to the Celtics.

Head coach Mike Malone had already declared Jokic would have a reduced workload during Friday's preseason opener against the Celtics earlier in the week, so it wasn't surprising to see him log just 17 minutes. That said, it was more than enough to fill the stat sheet, and Jokic should remain one of the most productive players in the NBA, both in real life and fantasy, once the regular season begins later this month.

Coach Mike Malone said Jokic will have a reduced workload during Friday's preseason opener against the Celtics, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Malone mentions that he would like to give some playing time to everybody on the roster Friday, so expect Denver's starters to play limited minutes. Jokic will likely continue to receive limited minutes throughout the preseason. However, once the regular season rolls around, Jokic should return to his typical average of around 34 minutes per contest.

Jokic tallied 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes in Saturday's 93-83 win over Germany in the bronze medal game of the Paris Olympics.

Jokic posted the fifth ever Olympic triple-double as Serbia cruised past Germany for a bronze medal. The three-time NBA MVP did it all for Serbia in their Olympic campaign, and he had game highs in points, rebounds and assists to secure the bronze medal. In six Olympic appearances, the 29-year-old averaged 18.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 32.7 minutes per game.

Jokic collected 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 38 minutes during Thursday's 95-91 semifinal loss to Team USA.

Unsurprisingly, Jokic played all but two minutes in Thursday's semifinal game. Despite registering an impressive statline while Serbia owned a 17-point lead at one point, Jokic's effort wasn't enough to hold off Team USA. Serbia is set to face Germany for the bronze medal game.

Jokic posted 22 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block across 27 minutes in Serbia's 96-85 win over South Sudan in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

Jokic produced a near double-double with 14 points and eight boards by the end of the first half alone. The three-time NBA MVP continued to dominate the entire contest with no one for South Sudan being able to stop him in the paint, and he was able to get to the charity stripe at will. The 29-year-old averaged 18.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 2.0 steals across 27.0 minutes in three group-phase matches.

Jokic ended with 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and four steals across 31 minutes in Serbia's 110-84 loss to the United States in the Paris Olympics on Sunday.

Jokic led Serbia in points, assists and steals in Sunday's loss to Team USA, while also displaying an impressive +/- of zero in the blowout loss. The superstar was spectacular in the squad's group-phase debut, but that did not stop a loss to the star-studded roster of the United States. The three-time NBA MVP will continue to serve as the No. 1 option for Serbia alongside Bogdan Bogdanovic, as the squad attempts to win out in the remainder of the group phase.

Jokic contributed 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-70 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic delivered one of the best performances of his playoff career in Game 5 of the series, but he was unable to repeat those numbers in this woeful loss despite the fact his overall stat line looks solid at first glance. Still, it's pretty far from what the reigning MVP has gotten fantasy managers accustomed to over the last few years. Jokic shot under 50 percent from the field for the third time in the series, and as a coincidence, the Nuggets lost every time that happened. While the entire Nuggets offense must perform better in a do-or-die Game 7 contest on Sunday, Jokic will be the one who sets the tone early on.

Jokic supplied 40 points (15-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic took over during the Game 5 victory, leading the Nuggets to a third consecutive victory over the Timberwolves. Despite coming up against the defensive player of the year, Jokic had no issues getting what he wanted in and around the basket. The series will now head back to Minnesota where Jokic and the Nuggets will look to wrap things up.

Jokic ended Sunday's 115-107 win over the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 35 points (15-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes.

Aaron Gordon had an excellent showing and Jamal Murray made some clutch buckets throughout the game, but Jokic was the engine that kept the team going, and for the second game in a row, he came through whenever Denver needed him the most. Jokic is expected to lead the Nuggets as the series returns to Denver for a pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday, and he's averaging 26.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game in the series.

Jokic notched 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and three steals over 38 minutes in Friday's 117-90 win over the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic did a little bit of everything for Denver in a much-needed Game 3 win on the road, leading all players in Friday's contest in rebounds, assists and blocks while adding a team-high-tying trio of steals and concluding as one of three Nuggets with 20 or more points. Jokic, who ended one dime shy of a triple-double, tallied his second straight double-double while posting at least 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in every game of the conference semifinals thus far. Jokic looked much more comfortable in Game 3 than we saw earlier in the series, which could be great news for Denver as it tries to even the series.

Jokic amassed 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 106-80 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic can change a game by himself at any point of a contest and is dominant enough to carry Denver to victory on a regular basis, but he hasn't been able to do it in the first two games of the current series. The two-time MVP winner is averaging 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game through seven playoff contests. While he remains an absolute stud in fantasy regardless of what happens with the Nuggets as a team, he needs his teammates to take a step forward to avoid an early exit in their quest to win back-to-back NBA titles.

Jokic notched 32 points (11-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic led all Nuggets players in scoring, rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high-tying trio of steals in a well-rounded performance that nearly resulted in a triple-double in Friday's Game 1. Jokic struggled a bit from the field, but still finished north of 30 points for the third time this postseason and concluded one assist and two board shy of a triple-double. Jokic has a tough matchup against Minnesota's big men, so it will be key to keep an eye on how he is able to perform against a strong defense in the semifinals.

Jokic produced 25 points (12-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 20 rebounds and nine assists across 41 minutes during Monday's 108-106 victory over the Lakers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Jokic dominated on the boards and fell just one assist shy of a triple-double in Monday's series-clinching win. He continues to show why he's one of the most valuable big men in the league, as he averaged 28.2 points, 16.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.2 steals in the opening round of the postseason (five games).

Jokic closed Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 14 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes.

Jokic has two triple-doubles and two double-doubles in the current series against the Lakers, but unlike in the previous three contests, he was unable to carry Denver to victory following yet another slow start. Jokic's individual numbers have been amazing in the series, though, as he's averaging 29.0 points, 15.3 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game. He'll aim to lift the Nuggets to close the series out Monday in Game 5.

Jokic accumulated 24 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference's first round.

It seemed effortless at times, but Jokic once again finished just shy of posting a triple-double, as the star big man and MVP candidate finished just one assist away from reaching that feat despite dealing with the imposing threat of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court throughout the entire contest. Jokic has posted seven straight double-doubles dating back to the regular season, and he's averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game so far in the series against the Lakers.

Jokic closed Monday's 101-99 win over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 27 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 20 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 41 minutes.

Jamal Murray might have grabbed most of the headlines after draining a buzzer-beating game-winning shot to lift Denver to victory, but Jokic's contributions can't be overlooked, as the MVP candidate posted a triple-double while dealing with the menace of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court. Jokic has extended an impressive run that has seen him record a double-double or a triple-double in each of his last 16 games, a span in which he's averaging 28.3 points, 13.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game.

Jokic closed with 32 points (15-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 114-103 victory over the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

The Nuggets endured a slow start, but Jokic was the architect behind the offensive revival in the second quarter, and his play down the stretch was simply unstoppable. Jokic ended just three assists away from a triple-double, and while he has a tough matchup in Anthony Davis, Jokic should continue to fill the stat sheet with absolute ease regardless of who he matches up against.

Jokic (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic and the rest of Denver's regulars have been upgraded from questionable to available, as the Nuggets attempt to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The MVP favorite has averaged 29.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 36.5 minutes over his last 10 appearances.

Jokic (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic has been bothered by his hip for weeks and has been a regular on the injury report, but if he's held out Sunday, it would likely be a precaution.

Jokic produced 22 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 121-120 loss to the Spurs.

Jokic's team-high 12 assists helped him record his 67th double-double of the season during Friday's loss to San Antonio. However, Jokic took a backseat to Jamal Murray in the scoring department, as the superstar big man's 13 field-goal attempts were tied for his fewest since March 13.

Jokic turned in a majestic performance with the top seed in the West on the line. Jokic recorded this number despite being guarded by Rudy Gobert, who is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner. Despite the critical win, the Nuggets are only one game ahead of Minnesota and Oklahoma City, so Jokic should still be on the floor for the final two games and probably won't get any pre-playoff rest.

Jokic (hip) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Jokic (hip) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Jokic continues to deal with left hip inflammation, but he's been able to suit up despite the issue. He'll likely be available once again in the second half of a back-to-back set. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaged 29.3 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.1 assists in 36.0 minutes per game.

Jokic had a masterful performance, but failed to hit a potential game-winning three-pointer as time expired. Although four of five players in the first unit reached double-digits, the offense was slightly compromised by Jamal Murray's (knee) absence, as the Nuggets are usually much more efficient when he's on the floor. Jokic is mounting another MVP-worthy campaign, and he'll continue to excel as the season draws to a close.

Jokic (hip/wrist) is available for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Jokic has been powering through a minor hip and wrist issue for a while now, but he was well enough to drop 42 points in 38 minutes of Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Spurs.

Jokic (hip/wrist) is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

As the Nuggets look to secure the top seed in the Western Conference, Jokic has notched seven double-doubles in his last eight outings. If Jamal Murray (knee) remains sidelined, the superstar center will likely continue to increase his scoring output.

Jokic has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite continuing to deal with hip and wrist inflammation. The superstar big man should be able to handle his typical workload.

Jokic (hip) is probable to face the Spurs on Tuesday.

Jokic recorded 26 points (11-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 18 rebounds, 16 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 130-101 victory over Cleveland.

With Jamal Murray (knee) out of the lineup, Jokic took his production to another level despite playing through a wrist issue of his own.

Jokic (back) will play Friday against Minnesota, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Jokic (back/hip) is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Jokic continues to manage hip and back inflammation but is expected to suit up for a third straight game after taking a seat for last Saturday's win over Portland. Over his last two appearances -- both without Jamal Murray (knee) -- Jokic has totaled 52 points, 20 rebounds, 18 assists, five steals and two blocks. Murray is questionable for Friday's contest.

Jokic totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 42 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to the Suns.

Jokic got the extra assist to hit another double-double, a milestone he missed twice over the past 10 games. The MVP candidate is dealing with multiple injuries at the moment, but the team cant shut him down yet due to an ongoing battle for first seed in the Western Conference. If the Nuggets create sone space between Minnesota and Oklahoma City in the coming week, we may see Jokic's usage draw down to get rest for the playoffs.

Jokic (back/hip) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

Jokic carried those injury designations into Monday's win over Memphis as well. He then proceeded to drop 29 points (11-18 FG), 11 rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes of action.

Jokic (hip) will play Monday night against the Grizzlies.

Jokic was reported to be trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's tipoff, and he's since been confirmed as available. The big man is averaging 24.8 points and 12.4 rebounds in 37.0 minutes over his last five appearances.

Coach Michael Malone said that Jokic (hip) should be "good to go" for Monday's game against Memphis, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic and Michael Porter (illness) are trending in the right direction for Monday's game. That being said, Denver will not be at full strength, as Aaron Gordon (foot) and Jamal Murray (ankle) have been ruled out for the contest.

Jokic (back/hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic was unavailable Saturday against the Trail Blazers due to lower back pain and left hip inflammation, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Monday. If he remains sidelined, DeAndre Jordan could see increased playing time.

Jokic (back/hip) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Jokic has been downgraded from questionable to out Saturday due to lower back pain and left hip inflammation. DeAndre Jordan will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Jokic's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Memphis.

Jokic is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to lower back pain/left hip inflammation.

Jokic is dealing with two separate injuries leading up for Saturday's clash after posting an impressive triple-double Thursday night against the Knicks. The team should know more about his availability following morning shootaround and pregame warmups.

Jokic chipped in 30 points (12-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Thursday's 113-100 victory over the Knicks.

Jokic had a tough time dealing with a season-best performance from Isaiah Hartenstein, who made things difficult for him on both ends of the court, but that didn't stop Jokic from recording his 22nd triple-double of the season. The star big man is almost unstoppable when things are clicking for him, and he'll aim to deliver another big performance in a favorable matchup against the Trail Blazers on Saturday.

Jokic ended with 35 points (14-22 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 115-112 victory over the Timberwolves.

With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Rudy Gobert (ribs) and Naz Reid (head) all out for the Timberwolves, Jokic was able to dominate the frontcourt. Kyle Anderson assumed the task of defending Jokic and he was no match for the MVP favorite. Jokic missed the double-double milestone earlier in the week, but he appears ready to ignite another double-double streak after two excellent results.

Jokic totaled 16 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks.

Jokic finished just three assists away from recording what would've been his 22nd triple-double of the season, though to be fair, Jokic's shot was particularly off Sunday. However, if an "off game" means he'll still sniff a triple-double, then fantasy managers wouldn't mind seeing this happen from time to time. Jokic is averaging 26.5 points, 11.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Jokic logged 31 points (13-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Friday's 117-106 victory over the Spurs.

Jokic didn't come close to a triple-double in this game, and he had to deal with the length of Victor Wembanyama most of the game, but the two-time MVP winner showed his versatility on offense to still find a way to reach the 30-point mark. Jokic has scored 30 or more points in three of his last five games, a span in which he's averaging 27.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.0 steals per game.

Jokic provided 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 100-88 victory over the Heat.

It was just the sixth time this season Jokic has attempted less than 10 field goals in a game, though he managed to lead his team in assists Wednesday. It was the 54th double-double of the season for the two-time MVP and he sits second in the NBA in that category behind Domantas Sabonis. Jokic is averaging 27.5 points on 60.0 percent shooting (including 40.0 percent from three on 2.5 3PA/G), 12.5 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.7 steals over 38.3 minutes per game in March.

Jokic had 35 points (14-26 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 17 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and six steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 125-119 victory over Toronto.

Down by 17 at halftime, the Nuggets came roaring back in the second half with Jokic leading the way. The triple-double was his 21st of the season, putting him one back of Domantas Sabonis for the NBA lead, and his six steals were a season high. Jokic has been his usual dominant self since the All-Star break, averaging 26.7 points, 13.6 boards, 10.6 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 threes over the last 10 games while shooting 60.5 percent from the floor.

Jokic has recorded at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists in four straight games and in nine of his last 15 contests.

Jokic (arm) is available versus the Jazz on Saturday.

Jokic was carrying a probable tag prior to getting the green light, as the Nuggets wanted him to get through warmups without any setbacks. Jokic was unstoppable in Thursday's win over Boston, producing 32 points (11-19 FG, 10-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 39 minutes.

Jokic is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz due to a right arm contusion.

Jokic posted another triple-double during Thursday's win over the Celtics but suffered a minor injury as well. The MVP candidate has missed just two games this season, and that likely won't change Saturday.

Jokic supplied 25 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds and five assists in 44 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 overtime loss to the Suns.

Jokic's go-ahead floater at the end of regulation seemed destined to drop, but it bounced off instead, sending the game to overtime.

Jokic extended his recent seven-game double-double streak to eight, and he recorded four triple-doubles during the run of production.

Jokic ended with 35 points (16-25 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 victory over the Lakers.

Jokic once again did it all for Denver in Saturday's victory, leading all players in scoring while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and coming up three assists shy of a triple-double performance.

Jokic ended with 18 points (6-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 103-97 victory over the Heat.

Jokic didn't have his best shooting performance Thursday, but he's so good and so influential for Denver, that he still finished just three assists away from recording a triple-double despite posting a subpar outing. Jokic is the engine that keeps the offense going for the Nuggets, and he's averaging a triple-double in February: 23.7 points, 13.0 rebounds and 10.4 assists while playing 34.7 minutes per game.

Jokic logged 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 win over the Kings.

Jokic didn't need to put on his scorer's hat Wednesday, as three of Denver's other four starters ended up taking more shots than him and Jamal Murray put up 32 points to lead the squad. In fact, Jokic didn't even play in the fourth quarter, but he still managed to record his fourth straight triple-double. Remarkably, the big man has accomplished the feat before the start of the fourth period in each of those four contests. Per Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com, he joins Russell Westbrook as the only players to record a triple-double before the fourth quarter in four straight games.

Jokic finished Sunday's 119-103 victory over Golden State with 32 points (13-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, 16 assists, one block and four steals across 37 minutes.

It was a thunderous performance even by Jokic's MVP standards, as the 29-year-old center set a new season high in steals in addition to delivering his third straight triple-double and 18th of the season. Jokic has dished at least seven assists in 12 of his last 13 games, averaging 26.3 points, 13.4 boards, 9.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.2 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.0 percent from the floor.

Jokic posted 15 points (6-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a block in Wednesday's 102-98 loss to Sacramento.

Although Jokic did not turn the ball over, his efficiency from the field was very underwhelming, which may have been a part of why Denver lost. Not having Jamal Murray (leg) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) in the second leg of a back-to-back also didn't help. Nonetheless, the Nuggets will look to reconvene after the All-Star break, where hopefully everyone will be healthy.

Jokic amassed 29 points (13-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists over 32 minutes during Monday's 112-95 loss to Milwaukee.

Jokic lead the Nuggets in points, rebounds and assists on a night when the team was held to under 100 points for just the fourth time all season. Jamal Murray (leg and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) both exited the game at halftime due to respective injuries, and while both appear to be minor, the All-Star break could be coming at a convenient time for Denver.

Jokic racked up 23 points (9-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 135-106 loss to Sacramento.

Domantas Sabonis got the better of Jokic in the lopsided loss, logging nine more rebounds then the All-Star. Absences from Michael Porter (knee) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) had a negative effect on Denver's efficiency, and the adjusted supporting cast didn't provide much help to Jokic, who was the only Nugget to score over 20 points.

Jokic closed with 24 points (9-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and three blocks over 36 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over the Lakers.

The perennial MVP candidate nearly came away with his 16th triple-double of the season but had to settle for his 43rd double-double, second in the NBA behind Domantas Sabonis. The 24 points was Jokic's lowest output in a month -- over his last 13 games, the 28-year-old center is averaging 28.7 points, 13.5 boards, 8.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 threes and 1.0 blocks while shooting 62.6 percent from the floor and 42.4 percent from long distance.

Jokic took the night off Wednesday against the Thunder, and the extra day of rest seemed to work wonders as the All-Star turned in a brilliant effort against the Trail Blazers. His 22 rebounds marked a season high as well as his 11th consecutive game with double-digit rebounds.

Jokic (back) will play in Friday's game against Portland.

Jokic made it through warmups without any setbacks and is set to return from a one-game absence. With Jokic back in the mix, this means Peyton Watson will likely move back to the second unit for Denver.

Jokic (back) is expected to be available for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic has not officially been cleared, but things appear to be trending in that direction. Final confirmation should come closer to game time.

Jokic (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Jokic is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to lower back pain. If the superstar center is ruled out against Portland, Peyton Watson and DeAndre Jordan will likely continue to receive increased playing time.

Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Jokic is dealing with lower back pain and will miss his first game since Nov. 27. DeAndre Jordan started in Jokic's absence during that contest and turned back the clock with 21 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes. Peyton Watson is also a candidate for increased playing time versus Oklahoma City, while Jokic's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Portland.

Jokic is questionable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City due to lower back pain.

Jokic has not missed a game since Nov. 27, although he has operated with a mammoth workload lately, averaging 36.1 minutes across his last seven games.

Jokic's 27 true shot attempts marked his seventh largest workload of the season. The interior defense of Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the most formidable frontcourts in the league for defending Jokic, but he still posted a triple-double by the end of the third quarter. His two-man game with Jamal Murray (35 points) is in peak form, which is the epitome of potent offense.

Jokic amassed 26 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-16 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 victory over the 76ers.

Jokic is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to a left eye abrasion.

Jokic suffered his injury during Thursday's loss to the Knicks after getting poked in the eye in the second quarter. However, the superstar center should be available to suit up against Joel Embiid in a highly-anticipated matchup.

Jokic closed with 31 points (13-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Thursday's 122-84 loss to New York.

Jokic left the contest and headed to the locker room in the second quarter after getting poked in the eye, but he was able to return after halftime and put up a big third period, scoring 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting. Despite that strong individual effort, the Nuggets fell behind New York by 32 points heading into the fourth, so coach Michael Malone elected to rest his star big man for the entire final quarter. Jokic still managed to hit the 30-point mark for the fourth straight contest and posted his eighth straight double-double, though he also turned the ball over seven times in just 27 minutes.

Jokic closed with 31 points (13-19 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over Indiana.

The triple-double was his 13th of the season, and the 118th of his career -- fourth on the all-time list behind Russell Westbrook (198), Oscar Robertson (181) and Magic Johnson (138). Jokic even helped out on the coaching side, twice lobbying for challenges on calls on which he was proven to be correct after the refs looked at the replay. The two-time MVP is averaging 27.8 points, 10.9 boards, 9.3 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.1 steals and 0.9 threes over the last 10 games while shooting 70.9 percent from the floor and 56.3 percent (9-for-16) from beyond the arc.

The two-time MVP continues to dominate during the Nuggets' three-game road trip and has scored 25-plus points in eight of his last nine games. Jokic's has been close to triple-doubles as of late, but he was able to register his 37th double-double in Sunday's win. Over his last three games, Jokic has averaged 33.7 points on 64.5 percent shooting, 14.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.3 blocks over 37.3 minutes per game.

Jokic finished Friday's 102-100 win over the Celtics with 34 points (14-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and nine assists in 38 minutes.

The perennial MVP candidate just missed his 13th triple-double of the season, instead settling for his 36th double-double -- one back of NBA leader Domantas Sabonis. Jokic isn't quite in peak form at the moment, but he's still scored at least 25 points in five straight games and averaging 27.6 points, 12.8 boards, 8.2 assists, 0.8 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 69.1 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Jokic racked up 25 points (11-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 126-121 loss to the 76ers.

In a clash of titans against Joel Embiid, Jokic came up short and tied his season low in assists, but Denver's perennial MVP candidate did record his fourth straight double-double and 35th of the season in 41 games. That puts his one back of Domantas Sabonis for the NBA lead in that category. Jokic hasn't been quite as consistent as usual over the last month, but he's still averaging 22.9 points, 10.8 boards, 8.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 threes over the last 16 games while shooting 67.3 percent from the floor.

Jokic (hip) is active for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

Jokic is joined by Aaron Gordon (heel), Michael Porter (knee), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back) and Jamal Murray (leg) as active after all were listed as probable throughout Tuesday afternoon. Philadelphia's core rotation will be healthy with the exception of De'Anthony Melton (back).

Jokic (hip) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

Jokic is trending in the right direction to play Tuesday while dealing with a left hip strain. He has started Denver's last 20 contests and is averaging 26.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 9.7 assists in 31.7 minutes over his last three games.

Jokic is questionable to play Tuesday against Philadelphia due to a left hip strain.

Jokic, Aaron Gordon (heel), Michael Porter (knee), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back) and Jamal Murray (leg) all popped up on Monday evening's injury report, likely symbolizing mere maintenance for Denver's key contributors. Whether this translates to load management in Tuesday's game is unclear, but Jokic is coming off a full 33-minute workload in Sunday's win over Indiana with no in-game injury reported.

Jokic finished Sunday's 117-109 victory over the Pacers with 25 points (12-13 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes.

Jokic led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds and assists while finishing with a team-high-tying scoring mark and ending one dime short of a triple-double. Jokic, who also added a team-high-tying steals total, has finished with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 23 games this season, including in three straight contests.

Jokic produced 27 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-111 loss to the Jazz.

Although Jokic had a solid night of scoring, it wasn't enough to upend a resurgent Jazz team that earned several scoring opportunities in the interior. A lack of support from the rest of the roster was a key factor in the loss, as the second-highest scorer only managed 17 points.

Jokic finished Friday's 122-120 loss to the Magic with 29 points (13-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 37 minutes.

Jokic led the Nuggets in scoring for the fourth time in five games in Friday's loss. He's shot 50.0 percent or better from the field in each of his last three games, though his four rebounds were a season-low. The two-time MVP is averaging 23.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 steals over 33.9 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

Jokic totaled 34 points (13-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 130-127 win over the Warriors.

Jokic was extremely efficient with a 13-for-16 mark from the field on the night, though his final shot may have included a bit of good fortune. With the game tied at 127 and the clock ticking down in the fourth quarter, Jokic handled an inbounds pass in the backcourt, took a few dribbles and heaved a 40-foot jumper that banked in for the win. The dramatic shot was the culmination of another MVP-level performance by the big man that included a game-high 34 points and his league-leading 31st double-double of the campaign.

Jokic posted 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 111-93 win over the Hornets.

In a game that was tied at half, Jokic posting his lowest shot volume of any full game this season can't simply be attributed to an 18-point win over a cellar-dwelling team. Monday's performance can be chalked up as an aberration, however, as the 28-year-old is still averaging career highs with 25.7 points and 12.3 assists on 17.8 shots per game -- constituting a sizable increase from 14.8 shots per game last season.

Jokic recorded 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 119-93 loss to the Thunder.

Jokic missed just one shot from the field and ended three assists away from recording a triple-double while also dealing with the threat of Chet Holmgren on the defensive side of the ball. However, this game was the perfect proof that he can't do everything on his own to carry the Nuggets, especially against top-rated defenses such as the Thunder's. Jokic remains an elite fantasy asset and probably the best player in the NBA across all categories. Plus, he has had double-doubles with six assists or more in his last six appearances.

Jokic accumulated 26 points (11-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Thursday's 142-105 victory over the Grizzlies.

Jokic saw less playing time than usual Thursday with the Nuggets holding a commanding lead, but he still managed to post his first triple-double since Dec. 14 while putting together a perfect showing from the floor. The 28-year-old has remained a consistent threat to at least post double-doubles recently, averaging 22.9 points, 11.4 rebounds and 9.2 assists in 33.4 minutes per game over 14 appearances in December.

Jokic finished with 18 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 102-95 victory over the Hornets.

Jokic put forth another all-around performance in Saturday's win, leading the team in assists while reaching double figures in rebounds and points, and ending one assist short of a triple-double. Jokic has recorded a double-double in three straight games and in 26 contests this season.

Jokic provided 31 points (12-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 122-117 win over the Nets.

It's the second straight game in which Jokic has produced at least 30 points and 10 boards, and the double-double was his 25th of the season. The 28-year-old center has had a couple games in December in which early exits led to disappointing stat lines, but those are the only occasions in his last 15 contests in which he's scored fewer than 20 points. Over that stretch, Jokic is averaging 26.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.1 threes and 0.9 blocks.

Jokic ended with 31 points (13-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 win over the Raptors.

Jokic finished as the leading scorer and leading rebounder among all players in the contest, putting up his third double-double over his past four games. That kind of stretch is nothing new for the big man, who leads the NBA with 24 double-doubles -- and 10 triple-doubles -- on the campaign. Jokic's shooting performance Wednesday was also a positive development, as he entered the contest uncharacteristically shooting just 43.2 percent over his previous seven games.

Jokic closed Monday's 130-104 win over the Mavericks with eight points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 28 minutes.

Though the Mavericks kept things fairly competitive in the first half, the Nuggets pulled away in the third quarter, leaving most of the fourth quarter as garbage time. This game was just the third time this season Jokic has failed to produce double digits in any category, but there's no reason for fantasy managers to be concerned. He has 10 triple-doubles in his 27 appearances this season.

Jokic finished Saturday's 118-117 loss to the Thunder with 24 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 37 minutes.

Jokic had to deal with the length of Chet Holmgren, which is no easy task for any center in the league, but the star big man still found a way to make a significant impact while recording his 12th game with double-digit assists this season. Jokic has been elite this season, and he is in line for another potentially productive matchup against the Mavericks and their depleted frontcourt.

Jokic provided 26 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 victory over the Nets.

After being ejected from Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Jokic bounced back Thursday with his third triple-double over his first seven appearances in December. While the 28-year-old has been tossed from two games to begin the 2023-24 campaign, he's been consistently dominant for the Nuggets. Over his seven appearances this month, he's averaged 22.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.0 assists in 32.3 minutes per game.

Jokic was assessed with a technical foul and ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Bulls with 1:08 remaining in the second quarter. Jokic ends the contest with four points (2-5 FG), nine rebounds and six assists.

Jokic was ejected after arguing with the officials, as the superstar big man thought he was fouled on a layup attempt over Nikola Vucevic. Deandre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji are candidates to receive increased playing time in Jokic's absence.

Jokic accumulated 25 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 129-122 win over the Hawks.

Jamal Murray and Julian Strawther stood out on offense for the Nuggets, and while Jokic still posted the second-highest scoring mark on the team, he made his presence felt in other areas, as evidenced by the fact that he ended just two rebounds and one assist away from a triple-double. Filling out the stat sheet is nothing special for the star big man, as he continues to deliver first-round value even when he doesn't play at his best. Through his last 10 games, Jokic is averaging an outstanding 27.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 10.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Jokic racked up 22 points (9-32 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Clippers.

Although Jokic was the clear leader in the paint, the MVP candidate found little assistance from his supporting cast in the loss. Jamal Murray's return has boosted the team's fortunes, but Jokic has had to a lot of the heavy lifting with three triple-doubles over the past four games.

Jokic logged 36 points (13-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 13 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 loss to the Kings.

Jokic's eighth-triple-double matches the combined total of the rest of the league in the category, a staggering stat that aptly illustrates Jokic's dominance. His brilliance wasn't enough to turn the tide against the Kings, who proved to be a stern test with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis enjoying massive totals.

Jokic amassed 21 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, 16 assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 119-111 victory over the Suns.

It's hard to be impressed with anything Jokic does these days, but the star big man and MVP candidate is having another season for the ages. He has improved massively as a playmaker and has handed out 10 or more dimes in three of his last five appearances, as he's taking on the role of being the team's primary facilitator with Jamal Murray (ankle) out. Jokic is averaging a robust triple-double over his last 10 games -- 28.1 points, 12.6 rebounds and 11.0 assists per contest.

Jokic finished with 32 points (12-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, 15 assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 win over the Rockets.

Jokic dished out 15 assists despite the return of Jamal Murray to the starting unit, so it's clear who's the primary playmaker for Denver. The star big man continues to dazzle every time he steps on the court, and the best way to translate his dominance is the fact that he's already racked up seven triple-doubles and 10 double-doubles in 18 appearances.

Jokic (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Jokic will return from a one-game absence with back soreness for Wednesday's tilt. He'll likely supplant DeAndre Jordan in the first five. Over his last three outings, Jokic is averaging 35.7 points, 14.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 3.0 steals/blocks across 37.6 minutes.

Jokic (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup versus the Rockets.

Jokic missed his first game of the season Monday due to lower back pain and is listed as questionable for a second straight game. Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (heel) are also questionable, so at the moment, it's unclear what the Nuggets' rotation will look like. If Jokic is sidelined again, DeAndre Jordan, Zeke Nnaji and Peyton Watson would be candidates for increased roles.

Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Clippers.

Jokic has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game of the season. The MVP candidate is coming off three straight games with at least 30 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, so this may be a case of Denver simply being cautious during the second night of a back-to-back set. Jokic's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Houston. Aaron Gordon (heel) is also out, so the Nuggets' frontcourt will be extremely shorthanded, forcing Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan and Peyton Watson into major roles.

Jokic is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to lower back pain.

Jokic played through a probable tag Sunday against the Spurs with this same injury, finishing with 39 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes. The questionable tag for Monday could possibly mean he's dealing with more soreness or simply that the Nuggets are considering holding him out as a precaution. If Jokic is unable to play, we could see more of Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan.

Jokic ended Sunday's 132-120 win over the Spurs with 39 points (17-29 FG, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 34 minutes.

Jokic was dominant on both ends of the court and led the Nuggets to an easy win while ending one assist from a triple-double -- it was the fourth time this happened to the star big man in 2023-24. Number of triple-doubles aside, Jokic remains an elite fantasy contributor regardless of the opponent and the format, and managers should continue to expect big things from him every time he steps on the court, but even more so while Jamal Murray (hamstring) remains out.

Jokic (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Jokic was probable for Sunday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising that he'll be able to suit up despite his back pain. He's posted double-doubles in 15 of 16 appearances this year and is averaging 28.2 points, 13.5 points and 8.9 assists in 33.8 minutes per game.

Jokic is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Spurs due to low back pain.

Jokic has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Sunday despite dealing with back pain. In the last nine games since Jamal Murray (hamstring) went out, Jokic is averaging 28.8 points, 14.1 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 rebounds in 33.8 minutes.

Jokic contributed 30 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 124-119 loss to the Magic.

It's the sixth triple-double in 15 games this season for Jokic, but the Nuggets' lack of bench scoring ultimately did them in. The perennial MVP candidate has at least a double-double in every full game he's played in 2023-24 -- the only exception came Monday, when he was ejected after 15 minutes -- but Wednesday's performance was the first time he's recorded multiple blocks and steals in the same contest. With Jamal Murray (hamstring) potentially not back until next week, Jokic's usage should remain high in the short term, even by his elite standards.

Jokic was ejected from Monday's game against the Pistons after being assessed two technical fouls, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports. He recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 15 minutes prior to exiting.

Jokic earned an early trip to the showers after arguing with the referees throughout the first half. Look for the Nuggets to lean on Zeke Nnaji, Peyton Watson and DeAndre Jordan in the second half with Jokic unavailable.

Jokic ended with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-109 loss to the Cavaliers.

Jokic saw a decrease in playing time Sunday due to some foul trouble, and he was held under 20 points for the first time this season. However, he still managed to record double-digit rebounds and posted a 13th consecutive double-double to begin the year. Despite his relatively lackluster outing Sunday, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned with his outlook moving forward.

Jokic closed Friday's 115-110 loss to the Pelicans with 26 points (10-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, 18 assists and one block across 36 minutes.

There are not enough adjectives to describe what Jokic has been doing this season, but this was perhaps his best game of the campaign yet. The 18 assists tied a career-high mark for him, and aside from notching his fifth triple-double of the season in just 12 contests, he was absolutely dominant on both ends of the court. Jokic is averaging 29.7 points, 14.1 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game so far, and he's putting in elite numbers that are worthy enough of another MVP candidacy.

Jokic logged 32 points (8-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 16 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 111-108 victory over the Clippers.

The Nuggets are doing what they have to do amid Jamal Murray's (hamstring) absence, and Jokic is naturally carrying much of the load. Denver's All-Star big man isn't getting enough from his supporting cast, as the bench only managed 22 points during Tuesday's victory. Over the four games without Murray, Jokic is averaging 34.5 points, 16.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocked shots.

Jokic racked up 36 points (13-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 21 rebounds, 11 assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 loss to the Rockets.

Jokic has been on a tear to begin the 2023-24 campaign, posting double-doubles in every appearance while also notching four triple-doubles. Two of those triple-doubles have come over the last three games, and he's also scored at least 35 points in three consecutive matchups. Sunday's performance also marked just the 14th time in Jokic's career that he's grabbed at least 20 rebounds in a game. The 28-year-old's dominance hasn't been particularly surprising, but he's been operating with a consistency that has rewarded fantasy managers who managed to get him at the top of their draft boards.

Jokic tallied 35 points (14-25 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, three steals and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 108-105 win over the Warriors.

Despite a massive line, Jokic's fatigue was noticeable after three hard-fought victories against quality clubs. He will get a few days of much-deserved rest before traveling to meet the Rockets, who are red-hot and will make for an interesting matchup for the reigning champs.

Jokic (wrist) will play Wednesday against Golden State.

Jokic was initially tabbed probable for the contest, so his availability comes with no surprise. He played through the injury Monday against New Orleans and logged a triple-double across 36 minutes, so fantasy managers shouldn't have any concerns with Jokic's workload.

Jokic (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

This isn't a new injury for Jokic, who was also listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against New Orleans. While the Nuggets got off to a slow start in that contest, Jokic finished with 35 points (15-24 FG), 14 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during the comeback win. The wrist issue didn't slow Jokic down Monday and, barring a setback, shouldn't deter him from playing in future games.

Jokic amassed 35 points (15-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 134-116 victory over the Pelicans.

The Nuggets won handily thanks to a superior outing from Jokic, who recorded his third-triple-double of the season. Jokic dominated the paint and contained Jonas Valanciunas, but he may have been better served by keying on Zion Williamson, who came perilously close to a triple-double in the loss.

Jokic (wrist) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against New Orleans.

Jokic was deemed probable earlier in the day, so this update comes as no surprise. He'll look to continue his hot start Monday night after averaging 27.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists through his first seven games of the 2023-24 campaign.

Jokic is probable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to right wrist inflammation.

Jokic has been carrying probable tags prior to this update, but that was for a separate back issue that he's no longer dealing with. The probable tag for Monday suggests that Jokic's wrist injury is minor, but it will be interesting to see how he fares since it's on his shooting hand.

Jokic ended with 28 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 16 rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 123-101 victory over the Bulls.

Jokic was dealing with low back pain pregame, but he showed no signs of the issue as he overpowered Chicago. Jokic has fallen one assist shy of a triple-double in back-to-back games. Next up is a Monday matchup against a Pelicans squad that ranks sixth overall in defensive efficiency and 11th in rim protection.

Jokic (back) is available and will start against the Bulls on Saturday.

Jokic has yet to miss a game this season and wasn't expected to do so Saturday despite dealing with low-back pain, so his presence in this game isn't surprising. The superstar big man is averaging 27.3 points, 12.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists in 33.7 minutes across his first six appearances.

Jokic (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

Jokic has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Saturday despite dealing with low-back pain. The superstar big man is off to a blistering start this season, averaging 27.3 points, 12.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists in 33.7 minutes across his first six appearances.

Jokic finished Friday's 125-114 victory over the Mavericks with 33 points (14-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes.

He went toe to toe with Luka Doncic and both came away with over 30 points and near triple-doubles, but Jokic got more support from his teammates. The Denver big man is already producing at his usual MVP-caliber level, scoring at least 22 points with double-digit boards in six straight games to begin the season, and he's shooting at a career-best pace from both the floor (64.5 percent) and from beyond the arc (40.9 percent).

Jokic (back) is good to go for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic was carrying a probable tag before this update. It's worth noting that Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, but there's no indication that Jokic will have any restrictions.

Jokic is probable for Friday's game against Dallas due to low back pain.

Jokic has had a dominant start to the 2023-24 season, averaging 26.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 33.2 minutes per game. Although he's managing a back issue, it seems unlikely that the injury will prevent him from suiting up Friday.

Jokic supplied 25 points (11-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to Minnesota.

Jokic and Jamal Murray were the only Denver players who scored in double digits in this one, and while the star big man did everything he could to carry the team to victory, he couldn't do it alone. The fact that Jokic had a "subpar" game but still notched 25 points and 10 rebounds is a testament to how dominant he's been to start the campaign, and he should remain an elite fantasy option every time he takes the floor. His next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Friday.

Jokic registered 27 points (12-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-102 victory over Utah.

Jokic demonstrated his unstoppable nature by embarrassing Walker Kessler's defensive efforts -- which is notable given that Walker is a 7-footer with talented shot-blocking ambidexterity. Notably, Jokic posted Monday's triple-double with only one turnover after combining for 13 turnovers in his past two games.

Jokic supplied 28 points (12-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 128-95 win over the Thunder.

Jokic led all players in Sunday's contest in scoring and rebounds while finishing with a double-double performance, his third game of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in as many games. Jokic's 14 boards marks the most of the young season, now having tallied at least 22 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in every appearance this year.

Jokic ended Friday's 108-104 win over the Grizzlies with 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes.

The perennial MVP candidate put together his second straight strong performance to begin the year, and Jokic did some of his best work in the fourth quarter after Memphis took its last lead of the night at 98-97. The 28-year-old big man is also 4-for-9 from three-point range, and while it's too early to call that a trend, Jokic did fail to average one made three a game last season for the first time since 2016-17 -- something he may have used as fuel this offseason to become an even better shooter from long range.

Jokic notched 29 points (12-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 win over the Lakers.

Jokic was dominant on both ends of the court, and he opened the campaign by posting the 106th triple-double of his career. The two-time MVP winner came just 0.2 assists shy of averaging a triple-double last season, and based on how dominant he looked Tuesday, it wouldn't be shocking if he pulls off that feat in 2023-24.

Jokic totaled 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Thursday's 103-90 win over the Clippers.

Jokic dominated inside and provided a floor-stretching presence at the perimeter in a solid all-around performance. He led his team in points, rebounds and assists, which will be a common occurrence for the MVP candidate this season.

Jokic is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Clippers.

No surprise here, as Jokic and the rest of Denver's starters were rested Tuesday against Los Angeles. Jokic is expected to see a healthy amount of minutes Thursday in the final preseason game.

Jokic will be rested for Tuesday's preseason game against the Clippers.

No surprise here, as Jokic has already made three appearances during the preseason. Denver's final exhibition will be Thursday against the Clippers.

Jokic posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 23 minutes in Sunday's 116-102 preseason win over the Bulls.

Jokic only needed 23 minutes to end up one rebound away from a double-double whle also dishing out five dimes, as he continues to show how big of an impact he can make on offense even if limited minutes. The Nuggets are cautious of overusing their star players in the preseason as they gear up to defend their title, so the two-time MVP winner is not expected to see more than 20 or 25 minutes of action in the remaining contests before the start of the regular season.

Jokic recorded 17 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 18 minutes during Thursday's 133-124 overtime loss to the Bulls.

Jokic has played exactly 18 minutes in each of his first two preseason contests, but he was more efficient Thursday than in Denver's opener. The defending champions have three more exhibitions before they open the regular season against the Lakers on Oct. 24.

Jokic posted nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 115-107 preseason win over the Suns.

Jokic was back in action Tuesday, but he played limited minutes during the Nuggets' preseason opener. He was stellar again last year and made a push for a third straight MVP but ultimately settled for hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy at the end of the year. After a long playoff run and a short offseason, it's possible the Nuggets proceed with caution to start the year, but as long as he's on the court, the veteran center remains one of the most prolific fantasy options.

Jokic recorded 28 points (12-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one block over 42 minutes during Monday's 94-89 win over Miami in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

As expected, Jokic dominated once again as the Nuggets secured a series-clinching Game 5 win. Across 20 postseason games, the two-time MVP averaged 30.0 points, 13.4 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks with 54/46/80 shooting splits across 39.4 minutes per contest. Jokic and Jamal Murray are under contract for the next few years, so Denver should remain in championship contention during the 2023-24 campaign.

Jokic closed Wednesday's 109-94 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of the NBA Finals with 32 points (12-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 21 rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks across 44 minutes.

Jokic had one of the best individual playoff performances in recent memory, and his outing Wednesday made him the first player to record a 30-20-10 game in the Finals. Jokic remains an elite player whether he decides to score or facilitate, and he's been the engine that has kept the Nuggets' offense running throughout the entire postseason run. Jokic has seven triple-doubles over his last nine playoff outings.

Jokic contributed 41 points (16-28 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 42 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Jokic put up his best scoring total since his 53-point effort in Game 4 against the Suns. Jokic's measly assist total was a clear sign that he tried to carry the team on his back instead of depending on his supporting cast. Denver has a 12-5 record over the course of the playoffs, and are 4-2 when Jokic fails to collect a double-digit assist total.

Jokic finished with 27 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 10 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Thursday's 104-93 win over the Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Jokic was as advertised in the win, racking up another triple-double, leading the Nuggets to an early 1-0 series lead. Despite only attempting 12 field goals, Jokic found a way to pile on the points, going 10-of-12 from the line. While this was an impressive victory, the Nuggets did only shoot 8-of-27 from the perimeter, a number that should increase moving forward.

Jokic supplied 30 points (11-24 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, three blocks and one steal across 45 minutes during Monday's 113-111 victory over the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Jokic led the team in scoring, rebounds, assists, blocks and minutes played while finishing with a triple-double in a series-clinching Game 4 win Monday. Jokic posted a triple-double in three of the four games against the Lakers and now has eight such performances this postseason.

Jokic ended Thursday's 108-103 victory over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals with 23 points (9-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds, 12 assists and three steals in 42 minutes.

Jokic committed five turnovers for a second straight game and was inefficient from the field given his standards, but he still recorded his fourth straight triple-double and his seventh of the playoffs so far. The former MVP is averaging 30.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 38.4 minutes across 13 appearances this postseason and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Jokic contributed 34 points (12-17 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 21 rebounds, 14 assists and two blocks over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 win over the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Jokic casually put together another triple-double, carrying the Nuggets to a narrow Game 1 victory. After getting out to a sizeable early lead, the Nuggets let the Lakers back into the game during a lackluster fourth quarter, eventually holding on to the tune of six points. Jokic continues to put up mind-boggling stats on a nightly basis, and will need to keep doing so should they hope to reach the NBA Finals.

Jokic finished with 32 points (13-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 125-100 win over the Suns in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic recorded his third triple-double of the series and fifth of the current postseason run across 11 contests. The star big man also has five double-doubles, and his dominant play on both ends of court has transformed him into the most decisive player in the playoffs so far, even above the likes of Jimmy Butler and Anthony Davis. Jokic is averaging 30.7 points, 12.8 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game in the playoffs, and now the Nuggets will wait for the Lakers or Warriors as their opponents in the Western Conference Finals.

Jokic provided 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 win over the Suns in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic had the ball on a string Tuesday, powering the Nuggets to an important home victory. Despite missing out on the MVP award, Jokic has been undoubtedly the most consistent player throughout the playoffs. He has the team on the verge of the Western Conference Finals where they would meet either the Lakers or the Warriors. This is arguably their best opportunity to make the NBA Finals given what has taken place on the other side of the draw, meaning Jokic will be doing everything he can to get his team over the line in Game 6.

Jokic will not be suspended for Tuesday's Game 5 against Phoenix following his altercation with Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Sunday night's Game 4, Adrian Wojnarowksi of ESPN reports.

Jokic and Ishbia, who was seated courtside, were involved in a minor confrontation as the two-time MVP attempted to retrieve the basketball from the crowd following a Suns turnover. Ishbia appeared to be impeding Jokic from grabbing the ball, and in response Jokic gave him a slight shove with his left arm, which caused Ishbia to fall back into his seat. Ultimately, the altercation resulted in an uproar from the Suns home crowd and a technical foul being called on Jokic, but the big man will not face any additional discipline from the NBA. Ishbia addressed the situation via his personal Twitter account Monday morning, stating in part that "suspending or fining anyone over last night's incident would not be right."

Jokic notched 53 points (20-30 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 39 minutes during Sunday's 129-124 loss to the Suns in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic converted a stunning 66.6 percent of his 30 shot attempts, which marked his highest total of the season in the category. The Suns shot almost 57 percent from the floor, which limited Jokic's rebound opportunities, but Jokic completed his line with 11 assists, achieving his seventh consecutive double-double.

Jokic closed with 30 points (11-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 17 rebounds, 17 assists and one block across 42 minutes during Friday's 121-114 loss to the Suns in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic racked up the counting stats again Friday, doing his best to get the Nuggets across the finish line. While his numbers were phenomenal, the team fell short of the mark, going down to a Suns team that finally got things going on the offensive end. The Nuggets now lead the series 2-1 with Game 4 slated for Sunday in Phoenix. Jokic will undoubtedly be leading the charge once again as they look to head home with a 3-1 lead.

Jokic contributed 39 points (17-30 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Monday's 97-87 victory over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic had another dominant performance in Game 2 of the series and vastly outplayed Deandre Ayton while shining on both ends of the court. The MVP candidate has been absolutely dominant during the current playoff run and has the Nuggets in an excellent position to reach the Western Conference Finals. Through seven playoff games so far, Jokic has four double-doubles, two triple-doubles and is averaging 27.7 points, 13.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game.

Jokic posted 24 points (9-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 19 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 125-107 victory over the Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

After averaging 12.4 rebounds per game in Denver's series victory over Minnesota, Jokic routinely outworked DeAndre Ayton in Saturday's dominant victory. Jokic's eight offensive rebounds matched the total for the entire Suns' roster. His strong contributions while also allowing Jamal Murray to cook (34 points, nine assists) makes the Nuggets as formidable as ever.

Jokic finished with 28 points (8-29 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 17 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and two steals over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 112-109 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Jokic had trouble finding the bottom of the basket Tuesday, shooting only 27.5 percent in the Game 5 win. An accurate performance from the charity stripe and excellent secondary numbers salvaged Jokic's fantasy total. The Nuggets will need better shooting from Jokic as they face an extremely tough test against the Suns in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic closed Sunday's 114-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 43 points (15-26 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 39 minutes.

Jokic did all he could to convert the sweep against Minnesota, but his best scoring performance of the series wasn't enough to seal the deal. Jokic shot 57.6 percent on 26 shot attempts, and the MVP candidate's 43 points matched his best performance of the season.

Jokic produced 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 120-111 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Jokic put together another triple-double, casually carrying the Nuggets to within one game of advancing to the second round of the playoffs. Despite coming up against the size of both Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert, Jokic has been able to assert his dominance in the series. The two teams will face off again Sunday, with the Nuggets hoping to wrap things up in anticipation of facing either the Clippers or the Suns in the next round.

Jokic (wrist) is available for Game 3 against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Jokic has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite a nagging wrist injury. He is averaging 20.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 32.5 minutes across the first two contests of the series.

Jokic is probable for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic had been dealing with a minor wrist injury ahead of Game 2 but managed to play through the issue and log 37 minutes. Considering his probable tag, Jokic should be expected to suit up and handle a full workload once again Friday.

Jokic closed with 27 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 122-113 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Jokic had a dominant effort down low, limiting the impact of Rudy Gobert on offense while finishing just one rebound and one assist away from posting a triple-double. This was a massive step in the right direction after posting a -- for his standards -- modest line of 13 points, 14 rebounds and six assists in the series opener. Given the wrist injury is no longer bothering him, expect Jokic to go at full throttle in Game 3 on Friday.

Coach Mike Malone said Jokic (wrist) is playing in Game 2 against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday, as his wrist injury is reportedly no longer bothering him. The superstar big man played just 28 minutes in Game 1's blowout, but will likely receive an increased workload if Minnesota can force a closer matchup.

Jokic is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a right wrist sprain.

Despite participating in practice Tuesday and declaring his wrist isn't an issue, the Nuggets are listing Jokic as questionable. While it seems likely that the superstar big man will be upgraded to available, Zeke Nnaji and Thomas Bryant should see extended minutes if Jokic is forced to sit out.

Jokic said he feels fine despite skipping the shooting competition at the end of Tuesday's practice to get his wrist checked out by trainers, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Jokic participated in the rest of Tuesday's practice, so it appears the wrist issue is minor and shouldn't impact his availability or usage moving forward. The two-time MVP posted just 13 points in 28 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's Game 1 win over Minnesota, but he said he doesn't know when he suffered the injury.

Jokic accumulated 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 28 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 109-80 victory over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Jokic fouled out in just 28 minutes, limiting his ability to take advantage of what ended up being a favorable matchup. In hindsight, the coaching staff would have probably given Jokic some rest down the stretch, especially with the margin blowing out to 29 points in the third quarter. Jokic should now be rested and raring to go in Game 2.

Jokic (calf) will play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic sat out the Nuggets' regular-season finale with soreness in his right calf but appears to be good to go Sunday. Considering he has had a full week to rest up, Jokic should be expected to handle a full workload for the team's playoff opener. In three games against the Timberwolves this season, Jokic averaged 25.0 points, 12.7 assists and 10.0 rebounds over 30.7 minutes.

Jokic (calf) won't play Sunday against the Kings.

As widely expected, Jokic won't play in the regular-season finale, with the team having locked the top spot in the Western Conference ahead of the playoffs. Jokic ends the regular season with stellar numbers, averaging 24.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game. Jokic should be 100 percent healthy and ready to go for the start of the playoffs next week.

Jokic is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to right calf tightness.

One of the front-runners for the MVP award, the Nuggets do not need to start -- or even play -- Jokic in the season finale since they're locked into their seeding as the top team in the Western Conference. If he is ruled out, then Zeke Nnaji and Thomas Bryant would be in line to see more minutes. It wouldn't be shocking if the Nuggets end up resting most -- if not all -- of their starters ahead of the postseason.

Jokic (calf) will take the floor Saturday versus the Jazz.

Head coach Mike Malone suggested this would likely be the case for Jokic, but Malone did mention that Jokic and the other starters would likely be limited to about a half of action. As a result, Jokic's fantasy value is likely not particularly high in daily formats, though he could be worth the half of production in some season-long formats.

Jokic (calf) will likely be available but could face reduced minutes for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Coach Mike Malone said Saturday that he expects all of the starters to play in Saturday's game to log more minutes as a unit. However, considering the Nuggets have locked up the No. 1 seed in the West and Jokic has missed four of the team's last five games, its incredibly unlikely he will handle a normal workload.

Jokic (calf) is questionable for Saturday against the Jazz.

The Nuggets have already clinched the top seed in the Western Conference, so they could sit several key players in the final two games. When Jokic sat out Thursday against the Suns, DeAndre Jordan stepped up with a double-double in 30 minutes with Zeke Nnaji backing him up with 17 minutes off the bench.

Jokic (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns.

Jokic will be sidelined for the fourth time over Denver's past five contests due to a right calf injury. The MVP candidate's next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Utah, which is the first half of a back-to-back set that concludes Sunday against the Kings. In Jokic's absence, DeAndre Jordan, Zeke Nnaji, Jeff Green and Thomas Bryant are all candidates for increased minutes again.

Jokic is questionable for Thursday's game in Phoenix due to some tightness in his right calf.

Jokic returned from a three-game absence due to the calf issue Tuesday and logged 25 minutes, but now he's in danger of returning to the sidelines for Thursday's game. If he can't give it a go, there will be more minutes available for guys like DeAndre Jordan, Zeke Nnaji, Jeff Green and Thomas Bryant.

Jokic chipped in 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 124-103 loss to the Rockets.

Jokic returned from a three-game absence Tuesday, and although he was held under 30 minutes of playing time for the first time since Feb. 28, he still managed to post a double-double. However, he also committed eight turnovers and lost ground in the MVP race since Joel Embiid posted a 52-point, 13-rebound double-double against Boston on Tuesday. Over 13 appearances since the start of March, Jokic has averaged 25.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 34.7 minutes per game.

Jokic (calf) will play in Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Jokic will officially make his return from a three-game leave with soreness in his right calf after being upgraded from questionable to probable to active in the hours leading up to tipoff. Fantasy managers should expect a full workload from Jokic, who will reclaim his starting center spot.

Jokic (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Houston.

Jokic was also questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Warriors due to his sore right calf, but he sat out a third consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be available Tuesday, but Thomas Bryant and DeAndre Jordan should continue to see increased run if Jokic is sidelined.

Jokic (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Jokic was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup, but coach Michael Malone said prior to the game that the center was closer to doubtful. The Nuggets have insisted that they'll be cautious with the 28-year-old, so it isn't very surprising to see him unavailable for a third consecutive matchup. DeAndre Jordan and Thomas Bryant should see increased run with Jokic and Zeke Nnaji (knee) out.

Jokic (calf) is closer to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Warriors, per coach Michael Malone, Mike Singer of the Denver Post reports.

While Jokic remains questionable on the official injury report, Malone relayed to reporters pregame that the two-time MVP will likely sit out a third straight game with what the team is calling a sore right calf. Jokic played in Monday's win over Philly, but his subsequent absences could not come at a worse time for fantasy managers. With Zeke Nnaji (knee) out Sunday, Thomas Bryant or DeAndre Jordan will likely get the nod at center, assuming Jokic does, indeed, sit out.

Jokic (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.

The MVP candidate has missed two straight games with right calf soreness. The organization has little reason to rush him back unless desperate for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The Nuggets are currently 2.0 games up on the Grizzlies, and Denver has cakewalk matchups against the Rockets and Jazz still on the schedule. DeAndre Jordan, Thomas Bryant and Zeke Nnaji remain candidates to see extra minutes if Jokic is shelved Sunday.

Jokic (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.

The Nuggets have been very clear that they will be cautious with Jokic at this point in the season, so he'll miss his second straight game Friday evening. Jamal Murray (knee), Michael Porter (heel) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (illness) will all be held out as well. With Jokic out, guys like Thomas Bryant and Zeke Nnaji will have a big opportunity to step up for Denver.

Jokic (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.

Jokic sat out Thursday's loss to the Pelicans and is questionable for the second half of Denver's current back-to-back set. The two-time MVP hasn't missed both halves of a back-to-back this season, but he has missed multiple games in a row twice due to injury. Jamal Murray (knee), Michael Porter (heel) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (illness) are also questionable, so Denver may be extremely shorthanded versus Phoenix.

Jokic (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Pelicans, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic will miss his ninth game of the season as he's dealing with a calf injury. Since the Nuggets are on the first leg of a back-to-back and there are only seven games left in the regular season, head coach Mike Malone is choosing to play it safe with his star's health. Expect Thomas Bryant and Zeke Nnaji to see increased minutes, while Jamal Murray and Michael Porter will be relied on more for playmaking chances. Jokic's next chance to return to the court is Friday against the Suns.

Jokic (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Jokic lands on the injury report for the first half of a back-to-back set. The MVP candidate has played both halves of the Nuggets' past two back-to-backs, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Denver give Jokic a night off to keep him fresh for the playoffs. If Jokic is sidelined, Zeke Nnaji and Thomas Bryant would be candidates for increased minutes, but Jamal Murray and Michael Porter would presumably be asked to handle the majority of the playmaking opportunities.

Jokic provided 25 points (8-11 FG, 9-11 FT), 17 rebounds, 12 assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Monday's 116-111 victory over Philadelphia.

Jokic dominated in Monday's victory, helping the Nuggets to a relatively easy victory. With Joel Embiid (calf) on the sideline, Jokic obviously took the honors in what was viewed as a matchup of the two top MVP candidates. Denver now sits 3.5 games clear at the top of the Western Conference, meaning there is a chance Jokic himself is given a night or two of rest before the end of the regular season.

Jokic finished with 31 points (10-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 129-106 victory over the Bucks.

Jokic tied Giannis Antetokounmpo with a game-high 31 points and dished out a team-high 11 assists as the Nuggets cruised past the Bucks. Joel Embiid has emerged as the betting favorite to win MVP in recent weeks, but it's certainly not due to Jokic's production dipping, as he's averaging 26.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks with 63.5/36.4/82.8 shooting splits over 11 March appearances.

Jokic closed Wednesday's 118-104 victory over Washington with 31 points (12-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 34 minutes.

Against a depleted Washington roster, Jokic dominated. He topped 30 points for the 20th time this season and snagged double-figure rebounds for the 48th time. The potential MVP got back on track from three, as he had made just one triple in his previous five games. Fantasy managers are also benefitting from Jokic's defensive stats, as he has 12 steals in the last seven games.

Jokic closed Sunday's 108-102 victory over Brooklyn with 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-4 FT), 17 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 36 minutes.

It's the 28th triple-double of the season for the perennial MVP candidate, snapping a streak of three straight games without one. Jokic hasn't gone more than four straight games without a triple-double all season. Since the calendar flipped to March, the 28-year-old center is averaging 25.4 points, 13.2 boards. 9.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 threes over nine contests while shooting 64.1 percent from the floor.

Jokic amassed 30 points (14-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 119-100 win over Detroit.

Jokic fell one assist short of a triple-double Thursday, but he recorded a double-double after failing to reach that mark Tuesday against the Raptors. While Jokic's standing in the MVP race has decreased recently, he's scored 30-plus points in three of his last four appearances, averaging 32.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 36.5 minutes per game during that time

Jokic ended with 35 points (14-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 20 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 loss to Brooklyn.

The perennial MVP candidate recorded his second straight triple-double and 27th of the season, but he missed a 15-foot jumper with five seconds left in the fourth quarter that might have given the Nuggets the win. Jokic hasn't missed a beat since the All-Star break, averaging 24.2 points, 14.8 boards, 9.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 threes over the last nine games.

Jokic posted 37 points (14-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 128-120 loss to the Spurs.

For the first time this season, the Nuggets lost despite a triple-double from Jokic. In the previous 25 instances, the Nuggets won every single time. Denver has lost two games in a row, but they obviously won't be panicking with such a comfortable lead at the top of the Western Conference. Jokic will look to get the Nuggets back on track against the Nets on Sunday.

Jokic finished Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Bulls with 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists.

Jokic has now fallen short of a triple-double in two straight contests, but he's still averaging one for the season (24.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game) across his 58 appearances. The poor showing from the free-throw line Wednesday was uncharacteristic for Jokic, as were his five turnovers, his most since Feb. 23. Though he underdelivered for those that deployed him in DFS, Jokic has more than met expectations for those that selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy drafts. He ranks behind only Joel Embiid in nine-category per-game fantasy value for the season, though Jokic has probably been the superior asset by virtue of playing 58 games to Embiid's 52.

Jokic had 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 FT), 18 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 113-97 victory over Memphis.

Jokic picked up yet another triple-double Friday, making it his 25th of the season. The Nuggets are also 25-0 in those games. The Nuggets have won seven of their past eight games and are now a full six games ahead at the top of the Western Conference. Jokic will be back in action Monday against Toronto and will be matched up with Jakob Poeltl.

Jokic accumulated 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds and 10 assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 133-112 win over Houston.

Jokic made history Tuesday with the 100th triple-double of his career, and the star big man was dominant as Denver cruised to an easy 21-point win against a struggling Rockets team. The two-time MVP winner has been on an absolute tear of late with seven triple-doubles across his last 10 games and nine since Jan. 31.

Jokic supplied 40 points (14-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 17 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 42 minutes during Sunday's 134-124 overtime victory over the Clippers.

Jokic was held under 20 points in two of his three appearances prior to Sunday's matchup, but he bounced back in the team's overtime win. He scored at least 40 points for the fifth time this season and now has triple-doubles in eight of his last 11 appearances. Across that span, he's averaged 23.7 points, 14.8 rebounds and 10.6 assists in 34.4 minutes per game.

Jokic produced 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Saturday's 112-94 loss to the Grizzlies.

Jokic had a rough performance -- compared to his usual standards -- but still posted a double-double while leading the offense in a game where the Nuggets struggled massively on offense. The two-time MVP winner has been outstanding this month and has recorded six triple-doubles and three double-doubles across nine outings this month.

Jokic notched 24 points (8-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 18 rebounds, 13 assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 win over the Cavaliers.

Jokic competed hard in the All-Star Game and kept the momentum going in the resumption of the regular season, posting his fourth triple-double over his last six games and seventh of his last 10. The two-time MVP winner is having another excellent season and is averaging a robust 22.5 points, 14.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game in February.

Jokic ended with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 win over the Mavericks.

After scoring just one point in the opening period, Jokic went 5-of-5 in the second quarter and entered the break with 11 points, eight boards and three assists. The reigning MVP only attempted two shots in the second half but added another five rebounds and seven dimes to notch his fifth triple-double in seven games this month. He also led the contest in assists (10) and rebounds (13) and has now grabbed double-digit rebounds in eight straight. The only thing missing from his game at this point is the three ball, as he's now gone three straight games without an attempt from behind the arc.

Jokic had 27 points (12-14 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over Miami.

It seems almost impossible to slow down Jokic at the moment, as the Serbian big man now has six triple-doubles over his last seven contests while tallying for 21 on the season. His ability to impact the game in a different number of ways continues to be elite, and Jokic is making a strong case for the MVP award for the third season in a row.

Jokic logged 30 points (11-22 FG, 8-9 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Saturday's 119-105 victory over the Hornets.

The Nuggets were shorthanded Saturday night, but Jokic still helped his team build a large lead after halftime to secure the win. The two-time MVP didn't attempt a shot in the final quarter but still led the team in scoring while also recording his 20th triple-double of the season, further cementing his status as the number one player in fantasy. After 49 games, he's averaging 24.9 points, 11.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game.

Jokic finished Thursday's 115-104 loss to the Magic with 29 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes.

Jokic got off to a bit of a slow start Thursday, knocking down just one of five shot attempts in the first quarter, though he still entered the break on pace for yet another triple-double with seven points, seven boards and five assists. The reigning MVP was much more efficient in the second half, going 7-of-11 from the field for 22 points while adding five rebounds and two assists as the Nuggets suffered an upset loss in Orlando. Jokic has now recorded double-digit rebounds in five straight games, though he did see his streak of four consecutive triple-doubles come to an end Thursday.

Jokic finished Tuesday's 146-112 win over the Timberwolves with 20 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 assists, 12 rebounds, one steal and one block in 28 minutes.

The two-time MVP and the Nuggets made quick work of the Timberwolves, so much so that no Denver starter exceeded 29 minutes while the team took a 35-point lead into the final quarter. Despite the light workload, Jokic proved to be unstoppable as a scorer and playmaker during his time on the floor, as he became the third player in NBA history to post a triple-double in 28 or fewer minutes. The bar is awfully high for voters to honor a player with a third consecutive MVP, but Jokic's nightly excellence for the Western Conference-leading Nuggets has made him the favorite to claim the award at this stage of the season.

Jokic (hamstring) is good to go for Tuesday against Minnesota.

The Nuggets have been cautious with Jokic but he's likely to see a full workload after getting the night off Sunday. He'll be looking for his fourth straight triple-double this evening, and he may have more on his plate with Jamal Murray out.

Jokic (hamstring) is probable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

Jokic was unavailable for Sunday's matchup against the Timberwolves but will likely be back in action for Tuesday's rematch. He's posted triple-doubles in his last three appearances, averaging 20.7 points, 16.7 rebounds and 13.7 assists in 35.0 minutes per game during that time.

Jokic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Timberwolves.

As expected, Jokic will take a seat for the second half of Denver's current back-to-back set to manage tightness in his left hamstring. The two-time MVP posted 14 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists across 34 minutes Saturday and didn't appear to suffer an injury, so for now, his absence can likely be chalked up to a rest. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to monitor his status closely ahead of Tuesday's rematch against Minnesota to ensure that's the case.

Jokic has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to left hamstring tightness.

Jokic is among several regular starters that have been listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, opening the door for the Nuggets to rest several regulars in the second half of a back-to-back. Zeke Nnaji, Jeff Green and even DeAndre Jordan could benefit from extra minutes if Jokic ends up being out, and there's no question that missing the two-time MVP winner would be a huge blow for Denver. He's on an excellent run of nine triple-doubles over his last 11 appearances.

Jokic finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 18 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 128-108 win over the Hawks.

Jokic took only five shots in the first half, knocking down three of them for eight points to go along with 11 boards and six assists. He added just six points in the second half on 2-of-3 shooting from the floor and played more of a facilitator role as Jamal Murray led the scoring charge with his season-high 41 points. The Nuggets' center finished with a game-high 18 rebounds and also tied Dejounte Murray with a game-high 11 assists, giving him his third consecutive triple-double. Jokic continues to pack the stat sheet despite being hampered by a hamstring injury as of late.

Jokic (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic continues to deal with a persistent hamstring issue but will appear in a fourth straight game. Across the past three contests, he's averaged 24.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 13.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 36.3 minutes.

According to head coach Michael Malone, Jokic (hamstring) is "more probable than [questionable]" for Saturday's matchup against the Hawks, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic continues to deal with a persistent hamstring issue but should appear in a fourth straight game. Across the past three contests, he's averaged 24.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 13.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 36.3 minutes.

Jokic is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hawks due to left hamstring tightness.

Jokic continues to deal with tightness in his left hamstring, despite playing the last three games. However, the Nuggets will play a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, so the two-time MVP could certainly miss one of those contests. If Jokic doesn't suit up, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan will likely receive extended minutes.

Jokic notched 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, 16 assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 134-117 victory over Golden State.

Jokic took just 13 shots Thursday, right in line with what he had averaged over his previous three contests. Besides displaying efficiency by hitting nine of those tries, the big man did his usual work as a stat-sheet stuffer, leading all players in the contest in both assists and boards en route to his league-leading 17th triple-double of the campaign. Ten of those performances have come over his past 13 games, a span that has helped push Jokic back to being the No. 1 fantasy producer on the season.

Jokic ended Tuesday's 122-113 victory over New Orleans with 26 points (10-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 18 rebounds, 15 assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes.

Jokic and Jamal Murray turned in brilliant stat lines to propel the Nuggets to victory Tuesday, and the perennial MVP candidate shows no signs of slowing down. Few players rival Jokic's production, and although his seasonal rebound total of 11.1 boards per game lags behind his 2021-22 results, he's still averaging a triple-double with 25.1 points and 10.0 assists per game.

Jokic amassed 24 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and two blocks across 38 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to the 76ers.

The perennial MVP candidate had missed three of the prior four games due to hamstring trouble, but Jokic wasn't going to be in street clothes for a showdown with Joel Embiid. The Nuggets center lost both the battle and the war however, as he saw his triple-double streak end at four while Embiid erupted for 47 points. Jokic will get another couple days to rest up before Denver hosts New Orleans on Tuesday.

Jokic (hamstring) will suit up for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.

Jokic was listed as probable on the initial injury reports, so his clearance for the contest doesn't come as an unexpected outcome. The superstar big man returns from a one-game absence and is looking to extend an impressive streak of four straight triple-doubles in his last four appearances.

Jokic (hamstring) is probable for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

Jokic has missed three of the last four games due to a hamstring issue, but he should be back in action for Saturday's matchup. He's posted triple-doubles in six of his last seven outings, averaging 24.6 points, 12.6 rebounds, 11.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.4 minutes per game.

Jokic (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game at Milwaukee, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

On the second night of a back-to-back, the Nuggets are rolling out a skeleton crew against the Bucks. Without Jokic in the frontcourt, more minutes should be available for Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan, Jeff Green and Vlatko Cancar.

Jokic (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Jokic returned from a two-game absence Tuesday against the Pelicans and posted 25 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and a steal in 36 minutes. However, he's still dealing with a tight left hamstring ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. Zeke Nnaji would likely see increased run Wednesday if Jokic is unavailable, but the two-time MVP's role against the Pelicans suggests that he's unlikely to have many limitations if he's given the green light to play against Milwaukee.

Jokic chipped in 25 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 99-98 victory over the Pelicans.

Jokic picked right up where he left off in the victory, recording another triple-double, something that is basically what we have come to expect. It does feel as though he could get some more rest as the season progresses, although his wrist and hamstring concerns don't appear to be serious. The Nuggets now sit just one win behind the Celtics for the best record in the league, something that Jokic will be striving for heading into the playoffs.

Jokic (hamstring) will play Tuesday against the Pelicans, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic had been trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, and the team has since confirmed his availability. He figures to see his name in the starting lineup after missing Denver's last two contests due to a left hamstring injury.

Head coach Michael Malone suggested Tuesday that Jokic (hamstring) is "trending toward probable" for the evening's contest versus the Pelicans, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic seems to be in line for his return from a two-game absence due to right hamstring tightness and will likely resume his usual starring role in the Nuggets' frontcourt. Jokic's return should send Zeke Nnaji back to a bench role and should mean far fewer added minutes are available in Denver's frontcourt for the reserves who have added some extra work over the past two games.

Jokic (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Jokic has missed the last two games due to left hamstring tightness, and it's not yet clear whether he'll suit up against New Orleans. He was on a tear prior to his absence, averaging 24.5 points, 12.8 rebounds and 12.0 assists in 33.0 minutes per game over his last six appearances. If he's sidelined once again, Zeke Nnaji and Jeff Green should continue to see increased run.

Jokic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic continues to deal with a hamstring issue, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green will likely see increased run in the frontcourt once again Sunday, while Jokic's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Jokic (hamstring) has been termed questionable to don the uniform Sunday versus the Thunder.

Jokic skipped Friday's affair against the Pacers due to hamstring tightness, and it's unclear if the issue will subside enough for the star big man to give it a go. The coaching and medical staff will likely take every precaution with Jokic to ensure his hamstring issue doesn't turn into something that will cost him extended time. Zeke Nnaji would likely receive another starting nod Sunday if Jokic is unable to suit up.

Jokic (hamstring) will not play in Friday's game against the Pacers.

Jokic was a late addition to Friday's injury report with a hamstring issue, and it is severe enough to keep him sidelined. He will now have a few days to recover before Sunday's matchup with the Thunder. In his absence, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan are candidates to see more minutes in the frontcourt.

Jokic is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to left hamstring tightness.

Jokic was a late addition to the injury report Friday and is now in danger of missing his fifth contest of the season. The MVP candidate has posted three straight triple-doubles and five over his past six appearances, but it appears he's dealing with hamstring tightness following Wednesday's win over Minnesota, though it's unclear exactly when Jokic suffered the injury or how severe it is. Denver will presumably be extremely cautious with its star player, so fantasy mangers will have to monitor Jokic's status closely ahead of Friday's 8:00 PM EST tip.

Jokic posted 31 points (12-20 FG, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 13 assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 victory over Minnesota.

Incredibly, Jokic has rattled off six consecutive triple-double performances, and although his competition during the run was soft, the feat is impressive nonetheless. Jokic's dime-dropping ability is the key to achieving the milestone, and the All-Star has recorded double-digit assist totals in 21 games this season.

Jokic recorded 36 points (13-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 122-113 win over Portland.

Jokic was simply amazing in the victory, racking up another triple-double, including a mindblowing 13-of-14 from the floor. There isn't a lot to say when it comes to Jokic given what we have seen from him over the past few seasons. He still ranks behind Anthony Davis when it comes to per-game value but to be frank, he is easily the best player in fantasy right now. He did miss a game last week due to an ongoing wrist issue, something that could continue to linger ROS. With that said, he tends to play through most things, and so there isn't a huge risk when it comes to missed games.

Jokic amassed 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Orlando.

As has become the norm, Jokic was on his way to a triple-double by halftime, scoring 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field to go along with nine assists and seven rebounds. He made only three more shots over the final two quarters for seven points, but chipped in another five dimes and three boards to notch his third double-double in his last four games. Jokic also led the contest in assists (14) and rebounds (10) and continues to make his case for a third-consecutive MVP award following the 2022-23 season.

Jokic (wrist) is active for Sunday's tilt against the Magic.

Jokic will return from a one-game absence due to a right wrist injury. DeAndre Jordan got the start Thursday but should be expected to return to the bench Sunday. In the three games leading up to his absence, Jokic averaged 21.0 points 14.7 rebounds and 11.7 assists in 32.9 minutes.

Jokic (wrist) won't play in Friday's game versus the Clippers.

Jokic has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to a right wrist injury, as expected. DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji are in line to receive increased roles in the superstar big man's absence, with Jamal Murray (ankle) likely to take over the offensive workload. Jokic's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Orlando.

Jokic (wrist) is unlikely to play Friday against the Clippers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Jokic was initially listed as questionable for Friday's matchup due to right wrist injury management, but it appears the MVP candidate is trending toward sitting out. If that's the case, the MVP candidate's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Magic. In Jokic's expected absence, Zeke Nanji would presumably draw the start, while DeAndre Jordan could work his way back into the rotation as the primary backup center.

Jokic is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers due to right wrist injury management.

Jokic hasn't missed any games since Nov. 20, but he could be rested by the Nuggets after averaging 21.0 points, 14.7 rebounds and 11.7 assists in 32.7 minutes per game over his last three appearances. If he's held out against the Clippers, Zeke Nnaji would likely see increased playing time.

Jokic produced 21 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 FT), 18 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 victory over the Suns.

Jokic was well on his way to yet another triple-double by halftime with 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and six assists. The reigning MVP added nine points, nine boards and three dimes in the third quarter, falling just one assist shy of notching his 12th triple-double of the season after sitting for all of the final period. Jokic posted game highs in rebounds (18) and assists (9) and has scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 11 contests.

Jokic accumulated 14 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, 16 assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 122-109 victory over the Lakers.

Jokic took only five shots in the contest, but he made them all -- along with all three of his free-throw attempts -- to finish with 14 points. The big man also grabbed 11 boards and dished 16 assists to record his fourth triple-double across his past six games. Jokic is now up to 11 triple-doubles on the campaign, two ahead of Luka Doncic for the NBA lead. For good measure, The Joker has 87 career triple-doubles, sixth-most all-time and third among active players behind Russell Westbrook (197) and LeBron James (105). His dominant recent all-around play says all anyone needs to know about why Jokic was a frequent first-overall pick in fantasy leagues this season, and he has certainly justified that status so far.

Jokic finished with 28 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 121-108 victory over the Cavaliers.

Jokic recorded yet another triple-double in the victory, something that is basically an every-night occurrence for the reigning MVP. There is very little that needs to be said whenever it comes to dissecting Jokic and his nightly production. He is currently the second-ranked player in standard formats, although there is a strong possibility he will end as the number one player yet again once all is said and done.

Jokic contributed 30 points (10-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 123-111 win over the Celtics.

Jokic led the team in scoring, rebounds and assists en route to his second consecutive triple-double. Jokic has tallied at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in four games this season.

Jokic racked up 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 124-119 win over Miami.

Jokic scored just four points on 2-of-6 shooting in the first half but also managed six assists and four rebounds. He was much more productive in the second half, knocking down six of nine shots from the field for 15 points while adding another eight rebounds and six dimes to notch his seventh triple-double of the season. The reigning MVP is now averaging a triple-double in the month of December (29.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 10.1 assists) and has dished out 10 or more assists in six of his last seven contests.

Jokic supplied 41 points (16-25 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 15 rebounds, 15 assists and one block in 44 minutes during Sunday's 128-125 overtime win over Phoenix.

The two-time MVP winner delivered a performance for the ages on Christmas Day, becoming the first player in NBA history to record a 40-15-15 game on Dec. 25 but also posting the highest-scoring triple-double on this date in the history of The Association. Jokic has three triple-doubles over his last four outings and four in 11 December appearances, a span in which he's also averaging an insane 30.0 points, 13.1 rebounds and 10.3 assists per contest while shooting 60.2 percent from the field.

Jokic recorded 29 points (12-21 FG, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 120-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Jokic opened the game with 10 points in the first quarter on 5-of-7 shooting from the field while also dishing out four assists to help Denver get out to an early lead. He knocked down just two more shots for eight points between the second and third quarters before pouring in 11 on 5-of-6 shooting in the fourth. The reigning MVP also dished out 11 assists in the contest and has posted at least 10 assists in three straight.

Jokic posted 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 assists, 13 rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 105-91 win over the Grizzlies.

Even with Jamal Murray (knee) sitting out, Jokic wasn't able to maintain his run of hot scoring -- he had averaged 34.4 points over Denver's last five games -- but it wasn't the result of inefficiency. Instead, Jokic ceded more possessions to Aaron Gordon (24 points, four assists) and Bruce Brown (16 points, four assists), with the reigning two-time MVP's usage rate dipping to 18.3 percent, his lowest mark since late November. As per usual, Jokic was able to shine as a facilitator and rebounder, allowing him to roll to his second straight triple-double and his sixth of the season. His scoring production will likely bounce back to some extent in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, but as he showed Tuesday, Jokic doesn't need a lofty point total to deliver goodness to fantasy managers.

Jokic (knee) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday's game. The reigning MVP is averaging 34.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 35.4 minutes across his last five games.

Jokic is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to a right knee contusion.

Jokic is coming off a ridiculous 40-point, 27-rebound and 10-assist performance Sunday, becoming just the third player in NBA history to post a 40-25-10 line. However, he appears to have picked up a minor injury during the contest as well, though it doesn't look like the issue will sideline him Tuesday. If available, Jokic figures to handle his usual workload against Memphis.

Jokic ended with 40 points (13-26 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 12-17 FT), 27 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 119-115 victory over Charlotte.

Jokic became just the third player in history to record a 40-25-10 line, another incredible feat for the reigning two-time MVP. After a somewhat slow start to the season, at least by his lofty standard, Jokic is slowly edging back to the top of the tree. He is the number one player over the past two weeks and it feels as though it is only a matter of time until he resumes his spot as the unofficial fantasy king. Let the good times roll.

Jokic (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against Charlotte.

As anticipated, Jokic will be available Sunday after carrying a probable tag into the day due to a bruised knee. The reigning two-time MVP has picked up his production of late, posting 28.8 points (65.0% FG), 11.2 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks over the last 12 contests.

Jokic is considered probable for Sunday's game versus the Hornets despite a right knee contusion.

Jokic hasn't missed a game since Nov. 20 and seems likely to continue that streak Sunday. Still, it will be worth monitoring the start center's status leading up to the contest to ensure the knee isn't a problem.

Jokic produced 25 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 126-108 loss to the Lakers.

Jokic poured in 43 points against the Wizards earlier in the week, and the massive stat lines just keep coming. Although the Nuggets snapped its three-game win streak, Jokic's fantasy prowess was unaffected. Over seven games in December, Jokic has been unstoppable, averaging 29.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocked shots.

Jokic produced 43 points (17-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists, one block and five steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 141-128 victory over the Wizards.

Jokic was nearly unstoppable inside the arc, going 17-for-18 on two-point attempts. The reigning back-to-back MVP nabbed a season-high five steals and recorded his first 40-point game of the campaign after posting three such performances last season. Jokic's scoring has been down a touch this season, but he's coming on strong in that area, registering 30-plus points in four of his past five contests.

Jokic recorded 31 points (11-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 14 assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 win over the Jazz.

Jokic was simply amazing once again Saturday, adding five combined defensive stats to what was just another triple-double for the reigning MVP. He is starting to warm up to the task, scoring 26.9 points per game over the past two weeks, up from his 23.8 points per game for the season. While there is a chance have doesn't end up as the number one player this season, managers need not worry too much given he is a lock to finish inside the top 5.

Jokic notched 33 points (14-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 121-120 win over Portland.

Jokic fell just one assist short of yet another triple-double, something that we have basically come to expect on a nightly basis. The bar is so high for Jokic that some might consider this an underwhelming start to the season. With that said, he could very well find himself as the number one player come April, especially seeing as though the Nuggets are likely to be pushing hard the entire way.

Jokic contributed 32 points (13-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 16 rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 121-106 loss to New Orleans.

Jokic led Denver with an all-around performance that was two assists shy of a triple-double, recording his eighth straight double-double outing. Jokic hauled in a season-high-tying rebounding total, also scoring 30 or more points with 15 or more rebounds for the first time this year.

Jokic racked up 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to the Hawks.

Another game, another instance in which Jokic ends up quite close to recording a triple-double. That has been the case in the last six games since he returned from a stint in the league's health and safety protocols, and the two-time MVP continues to excel every time he steps on the court. Jokic is averaging 27.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 8.8 assists per contest in that six-game span.

Jokic produced 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 victory over the Rockets.

Jokic finished just one rebound shy of posting what would've been his fourth triple-double of the campaign, but the star big man and two-time MVP winner has been flirting with that accomplishment every time he steps on the court. Jokic has been playing extremely well of late and has returned to the level of consistency and dominance he showed in each of the last two seasons. Over his last five games since returning from a spell on the league's health and safety protocols, Jokic is averaging 27.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game while recording five double-doubles in that span as well.

Jokic (hip) is good to go for Friday's clash with the Clippers.

No surprise here, as Jokic was considered probable for the contest. Barring any setbacks with his hip, look for the reigning two-time MVP to take on his usual workload.

Jokic is probable for Friday's game against the Clippers due to left hip soreness.

Jokic has taken things up a notch in his two appearances following a three-game absence. He's combined for 70 points, 19 rebounds, 19 assists, one steal and one block.

Jokic (conditioning) has been cleared for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic was a candidate to get the night off for conditioning concerns, but he'll end up playing while Jamal Murray (conditioning) and Michael Porter (heel) sit out. In his return Tuesday against the Pistons, Jokic posted 31 points, 10 assists, nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 37 minutes.

Jokic is questionable Wednesday against Oklahoma City due to return to competition reconditioning.

Jokic returned from the league's health and safety protocols Tuesday against the Pistons and delivered a stellar performance with 31 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds in 37 minutes. Despite his prominent role, he's still dealing with some conditioning issues, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji would likely see increased run.

Jokic had 31 points (12-16 FG, 7-11 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 110-108 loss to the Pistons.

The Nuggets suffered a disappointing loss to the Pistons, but Jokic didn't show any signs of rust in his return following a three-game absence following COVID-19 and finished just one rebound away from posting what would've been his fourth triple-double of the campaign. Expect Jokic to assume his regular workload and usage rates going forward now that he's healthy and back in the starting unit.

Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to play Tuesday against Detroit, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

In what has been a whirlwind of status changes within the past few hours, Jokic has now been upgraded to expected to play. Thus, it'll likely be the center's first appearance since Nov. 13 against the Bulls when he posted eight points, 14 assists and six rebounds in 28 minutes. With Jokic back in the lineup, DeAndre Jordan will presumably return to a bench role.

Nuggets coach Mike Malone said that Jokic (COVID-19) cleared health and safety protocols and will feel how he feels ahead of Tuesday's game with the Pistons, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Coach Malone made it clear that just because Jokic cleared protocols doesn't mean he's guaranteed to play. The reigning MVP will be a game-time decision based on how he feels ahead of Tuesday's game. If Jokic can't play against the Pistons, he should be good to go Wednesday.

Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

Jokic was previously listed as doubtful, so the window wasn't completely closed on him playing, but it will still be surprising if he's available Tuesday. Jamal Murray (COVID-19 protocols) was also upgraded to questionable. If available, Jokic could be on a minutes limit.

Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic appears to be trending toward a fourth consecutive absence due to the league's health and safety protocols. Assuming he's sidelined once again, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji should be in line for increased run.

Jokic (COVID-19) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Denver's head coach Mike Malone didn't mention Jokic as a player who could be available for Sunday's rematch with the Mavericks when discussing the subject following Friday's 127-99 loss to Dallas, so his absence here shouldn't be entirely surprising. The star big man is now set to miss a third game in a row, and his next chance to take the court will come Tuesday at home against the Pistons.

Coach Mike Malone didn't mention Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) as a player who could be available for Sunday's rematch with the Mavericks.

Jokic is thus slated for his third consecutive absence while working through the league's health and safety protocols, and both he and Jamal Murray (COVID-19 protocols) will miss the upcoming contest. DeAndre Jordan should draw the start at center for the Nuggets again Sunday as a result, while Jokic will shift his focus toward potentially returning Tuesday versus the Pistons.

Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Jokic will miss a second consecutive game as he remains in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. As a result, DeAndre Jordan will likely draw another start at center in his absence. Jokic's next chance to return will arrive Sunday in a rematch with Dallas if he clears protocols by then.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said after Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Knicks that he doesn't expect Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) to be available for the team's next game Friday in Dallas, Duvalier Johnson of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic missed his second game in a row Wednesday and remains stuck in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, and while a final decision on the two-time MVP's status hasn't been made for Friday, Malone said he's proceeding as though both Jokic and Aaron Gordon (illness) won't be ready to play. The Nuggets will likely wait until after shootaround Friday morning to decide on Jokic's status, but if he's sidelined for a third straight contest, DeAndre Jordan would likely be in store for another start at center.

Jokic won't play in Wednesday's game against New York due to health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The former MVP will miss his first game of the season after entering the league's health and safety protocols Tuesday. Additionally, it's unclear at the moment just how long Jokic will be absent from the lineup. Nevertheless, DeAndre Jordan will presumably garner the start with Zeke Nnaji filling in off the bench Wednesday against the Knicks.

Jokic racked up eight points (4-4 FG), six rebounds, 14 assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 victory over the Bulls.

Jokic attempted a joint season-low four shots, but he was perfect from the field in a game where he decided to showcase his elite passing ability. The 14 assists tied a season-high mark for the two-time MVP winner, and this was the sixth time this season in which he recorded 10 or more dimes. Fantasy managers were clearly not expecting this scoring output, but when it comes to Jokic, he can deliver elite value even when he's not operating as Denver's main scoring threat. The star big man is averaging 20.5 points, 9.5 assists, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game through six November appearances.

Jokic finished with 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Friday's game against Boston.

Jokic had an efficient shooting night from the field and put together a solid effort on the boards. However, after collecting six double-doubles in his first eight games of the 2022-23 campaign, he's failed to tally a double-double in his last four contests. While he hasn't quite been a double-double machine in the early going, the big man continues to produce for fantasy managers at an elite level across multiple categories.

Jokic tallied 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 21 minutes in Wednesday's 122-119 win in Indiana.

Jokic picked up four fouls in the first half and was limited to just 12 minutes of playing time in the first three quarters. He still managed to launch 20 shots and exceed 20 points for the fourth time in five games. The two-time MVP is averaging 21.2 points in 31.5 minutes while making 59.6 percent of his shots through 11 games.

Jokic racked up 26 points (11-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 115-109 win over the Spurs.

It was another night at the office for Jokic, falling two rebounds short of a triple-double. He added a combined five defensive stats for good measure, rounding out a team-best performance. The unanimous number one pick across all formats this season, Jokic should continue to perform at an elite level on a nightly basis, barring anything unforeseen.

Jokic had 21 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 126-101 victory over the Spurs.

It was just another night at the office for Jokic on Saturday as the big man racked up 21 points and did not miss a shot in the second half. He didn't have to shoot a whole lot, as the Nuggets scored 40 points in the first quarter to jump out to an early lead and never looked back. Jokic did, however, manage to dish out another 10 dimes, his second game in a row with double-digit assists and fourth time in nine games this season.

Jokic supplied 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, 14 assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 122-110 victory over Oklahoma City.

Jokic recorded the 79th triple-double of his career, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain as the center with the greatest number of triple-doubles. It was just another day at the office for Jokic, emphasizing just how impactful he can be despite attempting only nine shots. Managers have to be thrilled with his start to the season and based on the past few seasons, he should once again be pushing to be the number one player in fantasy this season.

Jokic contributed 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 36 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Lakers.

Jokic posted his third consecutive double-double outing for Denver, leading the team in both scoring and rebound in Sunday's loss. Jokic has recorded at least 15 points and 10 rebounds in four games this season.

Jokic chipped in 31 points (12-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and four steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 victory over the Lakers.

Jokic turned in a superb performance Wednesday and was only one assist shy of a triple-double. Wednesday marked his third-double-double and his best scoring performance of the season. Jokic is almost averaging a triple-double with 22.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 9.4 assists over five games.

Jokic finished with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists over 27 minutes during Monday's 135-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

This was easily Jokic's worst offensive performance of the campaign, as he finished with a season-low point total. Incredibly, he attempted only four shots, but he still flirted with a triple-double with a 9/9/9 line. The big man was impacted by foul trouble in the contest and played a season-low 27 minutes, but this was really just an aberration for a dominant player who has more than proven his ability to score proficiently. Jokic averaged 27.1 points per game last season and will likely come closer to that total in his next game against the Lakers on Wednesday.

Jokic provided 26 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 12 rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 128-123 victory over Golden State.

Jokic needed only two games this season to notch his first triple-double, as he led Denver in points, rebounds and assists in the big win. Though the back-to-back MVP didn't collect any defensive stats and turned the ball over five times, his ability to impact the game in multiple ways was once again on display against the reigning champions. Jokic is averaging 26.5 points, 8.0 assists and 8.0 boards through his first two games of the campaign. He's shooting 63.3 percent from the field and has made all 13 of his free-throw tries.

Coach Karl Malone indicated before Friday's game against the Warriors that Jokic (finger) will take part, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

Jokic's wrist is reportedly still sore, but that won't prevent him from suiting up for a second consecutive contest to open 2022-23. While he wasn't quite as on top of the boards as usual against the Jazz in the opener Wednesday, Jokic didn't display any issues with his shooting touch despite the soreness, knocking down 12 of his 17 attempts from the field.

Jokic is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to a sprained right finger.

Jokic played well in the opener -- 27 points, six assists, four boards and three steals -- but sprained his finger in the process. That said, it's not expected to keep him out Friday. The bigger concern for the Nuggets is Jamal Murray (knee) being questionable.

Jokic produced 27 points (12-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-102 loss to the Jazz.

The reigning MVP looked as dominant as he's been over the last few seasons and carried Denver to victory in the season opener, showing efficiency as a scorer while also displaying his well-known ability to contribute across the board in other categories as well. These kinds of performances shouldn't surprise anyone given how good he's been over the past two seasons, and in fact, it wouldn't be shocking if this is a low standard for his outputs to come.

Jokic is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale versus the Warriors.

Jokic was previously considered to be questionable for Friday's game, but it appears that his wrist injury is no longer a problem. However, the star big man may not see a full workload. Jokic should be ready to go for the regular season and will likely be a top-three pick in nearly every fantasy league.

Jokic is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.

It's unclear if Jokic drew the questionable tag based on his previous wrist injury, or if it's simply related to rest. Considering the big man only played during the first half of Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers, it's unlikely he'll see a normal workload Friday if he does suit up. Regardless, Jokic should be ready to roll for next Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Jazz, barring any setbacks.

Jokic scored two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3 Pt, 2-2 FT) with seven assists, three rebounds and a steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday night's win over the Clippers.

Jokic only took two shots in the game, both coming in the second quarter. He instead focused on setting up his teammates, racking up seven first-half assists before sitting for the entire second half. The reigning MVP dished out his first of four first-quarter assists to Bruce Brown for an easy layup before setting up Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for a three to give the Nuggets their first lead of the game. On the downside, Jokic did turn it over four times in just 16 minutes of action, while also being charged with four fouls.

Jokic (wrist) is in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Clippers, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Although questionable heading into the matchup with a right wrist sprain, the 2021-22 MVP will be back in action. Jokic starts alongside Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter in the frontcourt Wednesday.

Jokic (wrist) was listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Clippers, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic has missed two consecutive preseason games due to a right wrist sprain. It appears that the Nuggets are being extra cautious with Jokic in order to ensure he is healthy for the regular season. This means that the star big man will likely play limited minutes if he does play at all for the rest of the preseason.

Jokic (wrist) is out for Monday's exhibition contest against the Suns, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

The back-to-back MVP will miss his second straight preseason contest due to a wrist injury. Jokic's next chance to take the court comes Wednesday during an exhibition matchup against the Clippers. The Nuggets open their regular season October 19 against the Jazz.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's preseason game against the Suns, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Although Jokic is officially deemed questionable on the Nuggets' injury report, coach Michael Malone said Sunday that the center is doubtful to play. It wouldn't be surprising to see the team exercise caution for Monday's game, but Jokic's wrist injury isn't expected to impact his availability for the start of the regular season.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said Jokic (wrist) is doubtful to play in Monday's preseason game against the Suns, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Though the reigning two-time NBA MVP was able to go through most of Sunday's practice, he was on the sideline for the live portions while he continues to protect his injured right wrist. The issue isn't considered anything that is expected to limit Jokic by the time the Nuggets open their regular-season slate Oct. 19 against the Jazz, but it's unclear if the star center will play in any of the team's remaining three exhibition contests.

Jokic (wrist) didn't go through the live portion of Sunday's practice, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic suffered a wrist injury during the preseason opener and has remained sidelined since. An MRI revealed nothing serious, so it appears like he's just being held out for precautionary reasons. The Nuggets have three more exhibition contests, including Monday's matchup against the Suns, before they open the regular season against the Jazz on Oct. 19.

Jokic (wrist) did not travel with the team and has been officially listed as out for Friday's preseason game versus the Bulls, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic tweaked his wrist during Monday's preseason opener and did not practice Wednesday. However, Winge mentions that the Nuggets are simply being extra cautious and giving the star big man extra rest. There is no indication that Jokic will miss any regular season action.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic suffered a tweaked right wrist sprain in the Nuggets' preseason opener on Monday and was unable to practice Wednesday. The reigning MVP was initially ruled doubtful to play Friday but he's since been upgraded to questionable which is a good sign for the center's long-term availability.

Jokic (wrist) is doubtful for Friday's game against Chicago, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic tweaked his wrist during Monday's preseason opener and was a full participant during Tuesday's light practice session, but he was unable to practice. Coach Michael Malone said Thursday that Jokic probably won't be available Friday, but the Nuggets don't seem to be too concerned about his long-term availability at this point.

Jokic (wrist) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic tweaked his wrist during the preseason opener Sunday, describing it as a "weird" feeling. It's not time to raise any alarm bells, but it will be worth monitoring the big man's status moving forward. The Nuggets return to action Friday against the Bulls, marking Jokic's next opportunity to suit up in a game.

Jokic tweaked his wrist during Monday's preseason opener and said it felt "weird."

Jokic played 15 minutes during Monday's loss and came away with a wrist issue. It's unclear if the current injury has anything to do with the wrist issue he dealt with last year. Regardless, there doesn't appear to be too much concern over the injury, so Jokic is still in line to be one of the premier fantasy options during the 2022-23 campaign.

Jokic tallied two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 15 minutes in a preseason loss to Oklahoma City on Monday.

Jokic wasn't very active as a scorer in the contest, but he doesn't have anything to prove after bringing home the NBA MVP award each of the past two seasons. The big man did record five boards and three assists in just 15 minutes, and there's little doubt that he'll once again be one of fantasy's most productive all-around players once the regular season kicks off.

Jokic tallied two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 15 minutes in a preseason loss to Oklahoma City on Monday.

Jokic wasn't very active as a scorer in the contest, but he doesn't have anything to prove after bringing home the NBA MVP award each of the past two seasons. The big man did record five boards and three assists in just 15 minutes, and there's little doubt that he'll once again be one of fantasy's most productive all-around players once the regular season kicks off.

Jokic agreed Thursday to sign a five-year, $264 million supermax contract extension with the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The fifth year is a player option.

The deal is the richest in league history -- appropriate for the back-to-back MVP. Over the past two years, he's averaged 26.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.4 steals with shooting splits of 58/36/84. With Jokic's supermax secured, the Nuggets are practically locked into a core with him, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter and Aaron Gordon. There's no reason to think Jokic's role will change anytime soon, and he'll likely be the first pick in most fantasy drafts next season.

Jokic was named to the All-NBA First Team, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This news is unsurprising given that Jokic was given his second consecutive MVP award this season. The year will mark his third First Team All-NBA selection, first earning the accolade in 2018-19. During this regular season, Jokic appeared in 74 games and averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds -- both career highs -- 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks. He also shot a career-high 58.3 percent from the field. During the five-game first-round series against the Warriors, he averaged 31.0 points, 13.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Jokic closed Wednesday's 102-98 loss to Golden State with 30 points (12-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 19 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes.

Jokic was once again brilliant for the Nuggets in Game 5, leading the team in points, rebounds and assists while notching his fourth double-double of the series. The big man was dominant on the boards early, corralling 10 rebounds in his first 11 minutes of action, then thrived as a scorer late, pouring in 12 points in the final 3:46 of the contest. He finished the series averaging 31.0 points, 13.2 boards and 5.8 assists and should be among the preseason MVP favorites against next season.

Jokic amassed 37 points (14-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-121 victory over the Warriors.

In Game 3 on Thursday, Jokic's 37 points, 18 rebounds, five assists and three steals weren't quite enough, but he was able to power Denver over the finish line Sunday to force a Game 5. The big man continues to be the most consistent superstar in fantasy basketball after cruising to his second consecutive No. 1 overall finish in most formats. Regardless of how the remainder of the postseason plays out for Denver, jokic will enter next season as the near-consensus top pick in fantasy.

Jokic totaled 37 points (14-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to the Warriors.

Jokic delivered another impressive double-double and carried the Nuggets, but he can't do all the heavy lifting on his own and the Nuggets once again fell short and are down 0-3 in the series. Despite the team's struggles, Jokic is having a strong series and is averaging 29.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game so far.

Jokic was ejected from Game 2 of the first-round playoff series against the Warriors on Monday, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports. He finishes the night with 26 points (9-20 FG, 0-4 3PT, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks in 28 minutes.

The game was already well in hand by the time Jokic picked up his second technical foul, as the Warriors did an excellent job of frustrating the reigning MVP. He'll need to return to his usual high level of play in Game 3 if Denver has any hope of turning this series around.

Jokic totaled 25 points (12-25 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 123-107 loss to Golden State.

Jokic unsurprisingly was the Nuggets' top performer in the contest, leading Denver in points and rebounds while tying for the team lead in assists. The big stat line wasn't enough to overcome a balanced Warriors effort, however, putting the Nuggets into an 0-1 series hole. Denver will likely need Jokic to be even more dominant moving forward to compete against a talented Golden State squad with title aspirations.

Jokic (wrist) will be held out of Sunday's game against the Lakers, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.

As foreshadowed by his questionable status entering the day, Jokic will be one of several regulars who will not be available Sunday as the Nuggets finish out the regular season. The top player in fantasy basketball for the second year in a row will finish the 2021-22 season with averages of 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers per game across 74 appearances.

Jokic is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers due to right wrist soreness.

Four of the five Nuggets' starters are questionable for the finale. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the injury report heading into Sunday's contest.

Jokic contributed 35 points (16-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 122-109 victory over Memphis.

Jokic led all players in points, rebounds and steals in the win, and he accomplished history by becoming the first NBA player to ever record 2,000 points, 1,000 boards and 500 assists in a single season. That the reigning MVP has topped his production from last season -- when he averaged 26.4 points, 10.8 boards and 8.3 dimes -- is a testament to how dominant he has become on a nightly basis. Jokic is finishing the season with a flourish, racking up seven straight double-doubles and scoring at least 35 points six times over that span. He has also tallied multiple steals six times in the seven-game stretch.

Jokic posted 41 points (18-35 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 116-97 loss to the Spurs.

Jokic putting up a monster double-double shouldn't surprise anyone at this point, though the fact that he needed 35 shots to score 41 points might be a bit surprising due to the impressive efficiency levels he's shown all year long. The MVP candidate is ending the season on a strong note with averages of 32.8 points, 13.6 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game over his last 10 games. Plus, he's also scored 35 or more points in five of his last six contests.

Jokic finished with 38 points (15-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 18 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 victory over the Lakers.

The Nuggets were expected to excel against the LeBron-less Lakers, and it was no surprise to see Jokic finish with a prolific total. Jokic will get his share of votes for the MVP title, especially after his recent string of games. He entered Sunday's game averaging 30 points, 12.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks over a ten-game span.

Jokic provided 37 points (15-19 FG, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 victory over Indiana.

Jokic shot over 75 percent from the field for the seventh time this season. Pairing Wednesday's dominance with a 13-for-15 shooting performance Saturday against the Thunder, Jokic is showing no signs of fatigue down the stretch. He's the top asset in fantasy and has good matchups upcoming against the Timberwolves and Lakers.

Jokic logged 26 points (9-17 FG, 8-12 FT), 19 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 113-109 victory over the Hornets.

Jokic recorded his first triple-double since March 7 in a win over the Warriors, and in fact, the reigning MVP has recorded double-doubles or triple-doubles in all but two appearances during the current month. Jokic has played at an elite level despite having a high usage rate and being the focal point of the offense, and his numbers back that up. He's averaging 29.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists across 14 March contests.

Jokic produced 35 points (13-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 win over the Thunder.

Jokic looked every bit like a deserving MVP candidate Saturday, as he led Denver in nearly every positive statistical category, including points, rebounds, assists and blocks. The All-Star center went an absurd 13-for-15 from the field and 9-for-10 from the charity stripe in one of his most efficient performances as a pro. Jokic didn't quite break his nine-game stretch without a triple-double, but he did log his league-leading 60th double-double of the campaign. That puts him 13 ahead of two players (Rudy Gobert and Jonas Valanciunas) with the second-most double-doubles on the season.

Jokic closed with 28 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 140-130 loss to the Suns.

By Jokic's standards, this was a relatively modest performance, especially considering that the All-Star center turned the ball over eight times. Still, it's impressive that the big man managed a team-high 28 points on only 10 field-goal attempts and went an efficient 9-for-11 from the charity stripe. It's a rare occurrence when Jokic doesn't finish with a double-double -- he has registered 59 such performances in 67 games this season -- so his fantasy managers can expect his usual abundance of supplementary stats when the Nuggets take on Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Jokic recorded 30 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 127-115 victory over the Clippers.

After a poor shooting night in a loss against the Celtics, Jokic came roaring back in a big way against the Clippers. Jokic's 14 rebounds marked his highest total in three weeks, and he excelled on a night where several of his teammates also scored in double figures.

Jokic supplied 23 points (8-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Celtics.

Jokic ended two rebounds away from posting a double-double, and this game marked the first time since Jan. 23 in which he didn't record double-digit in at least two categories -- a span that covered 24 games with 17 double-doubles and seven triple-doubles. He's averaging 29.3 points, 12.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game across 10 March contests.

Jokic ended with 32 points (15-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 119-116 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

Jokic finished with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the eighth time this season, but his stellar production was not enough as Denver fell to Cleveland in overtime. Across nine appearances in March, Jokic has averaged 30.0 points, 13.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals in 34.0 minutes per game. He'll look to continue his dominant play Sunday against the Celtics.

Jokic totaled 29 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, eight asists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-109 win over the Wizards.

With Denver up 21 points at halftime and coasting to victory, Jokic was able to have a lessened workload -- playing less than 30 minutes for just the second time in his past 19 games. The lessened workload didn't lead to lessened production, however, as Jokic scored at will against a porous defense. Jokic has accumulated a staggering 18.6 wins above replacement this season. Jayson Tatum ranks second with WAR at 10.8.

Jokic registered 22 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-110 victory over Philadelphia.

Jokic fell just two assists shy of a triple-double, but he did record his seventh consecutive double-double in the win. It's worth noting that Jakic did end his drought from downtown, knocking down a triple for the first time since March 6 against New Orleans. Jokic continues to prove that he's as productive as they come at the center position for fantasy managers.

Jokic had 26 points (9-13 FG, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Saturday's 127-115 loss to Toronto.

The MVP candidate came within shouting distance of another triple-double, but Jokic didn't get enough help from his teammates to take down the Raptors. He's recorded double-digit boards in an impressive 21 straight games, averaging 26.0 points, 13.9 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch.

Jokic totaled 23 points (9-21 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 113-102 loss to the Warriors.

Jokic's Nuggets didn't come out on top Thursday, but the big man once again led the team in scoring, rebounding and assists. He did struggle with his jumper, going 0-for-8 from three-point range, though he salvaged a respectable shooting line by making 9 of 13 shot attempts from inside the arc. Since the All-Star break, Jokic is averaging 26.5 points, 14.1 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks across eight games.

Jokic chipped in 38 points (15-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 106-100 victory over Sacramento.

Jokic ended just three assists away from delivering what would've been his third straight triple-double -- and his fifth one over his last six games -- but he still posted an otherworldly stat line while making an impact on both ends of the court. The Serbian big man is playing at an MVP level once again and his numbers in March have been nothing but outstanding. He's averaging 34.5 points, 15.3 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 steals per game across four outings this month.

Jokic contributed 32 points (12-17 FG, 8-14 FT), 15 rebounds, 13 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 131-124 win over the Warriors.

The scrappy Warriors put up a fight despite the absence of most of their starters, but the reigning NBA MVP ensured that the Nuggets pulled out the win. Jokic led Denver players in scoring, rebounds and assists while shooting an efficient 12-for-17 from the field. He did struggle a bit from the line, but that does little to diminish the impact of his play Monday. Jokic has now notched a triple-double in three of his past five games and leads the league in that category with 18 on the season as he continues to push for a second straight campaign as the league's Most Valuable Player.

Jokic put up 46 points (16-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists, four blocks and three steals across 43 minutes in Sunday's 138-130 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Jaw-dropping lines have been the norm for Jokic for much of the past five seasons, but Sunday's performance might have somehow raised the bar higher for the reigning MVP. He poured in 30 of his points during the fourth quarter and overtime en route to notching his 17th triple-double of the season. In so doing, Jokic became the first player since LeBron James in 2010 to record a 40-point triple-double and four blocks in a single game, according to ESPN.

Jokic (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Jokic missed Friday's game against the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness, but he was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially be cleared to return. Across his last five appearances, he's averaged 21.6 points, 14.6 rebounds and 8.6 assists in 32.2 minutes per game.

Jokic (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Jokic was held out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness, but he'll likely be back in action following a minimal absence. He's posted double-doubles in each of his last 16 appearances and has averaged 23.8 points, 14.0 rebounds and 8.9 assists in 32.3 minutes per game during that time.

Jokic (illness) is out Friday against the Rockets, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic will be unable to play through his non-COVID illness after he was a late addition to Friday's injury report. DeMarcus Cousins and JaMychal Green should see increased roles against Houston.

Jokic (illness) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic is feeling under the weather and was a late add to the injury report as a result. The Nuggets will err on the side of caution as a result. In his absence, DaMarcus Cousins and JaMychal Green figure to be in for bigger roles in the frontcourt. The big man's next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Pelicans.

Jokic is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness.

Jokic was a late addition to the injury report due to his illness. If he's unable to suit up against Houston, DeMarcus Cousins and JaMychal Green should see additional run.

Jokic ended Wednesday's 119-107 loss to the Thunder with 22 points (10-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 33 minutes.

Jokic was the only Denver starter to register double-digit scoring on a night when the unit went a miserable 1-for-25 from three-point range. That helps explain why Jokic collected just four assists, but the reigning NBA MVP still produced a healthy stat line with 22 points and 16 boards. Jokic has posted a double-double or triple-double in each of his 16 appearances since Jan. 23, and he remains one of fantasy's most explosive and reliable producers.

Jokic closed Saturday's 115-110 win over the Kings with 18 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and 11 assists across 34 minutes.

Jokic surprisingly struggled shooting the ball Saturday, missing all five of his three-point attempts and going just 6-for-16 from the field overall. That didn't stop the reigning NBA MVP from making a big impact on the outcome, however, as he led Denver with 11 assists and 10 boards to finish with his third triple-double in February. Jokic leads all NBA players with 16 triple-doubles on the season.

Jokic contributed 25 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, one block and four steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 victory over the Kings.

Jokic was the only player on either squad to have participated in Sunday's All-Star Game, and he showed why he is among the league's top stars with a dominant performance Thursday. The reigning NBA MVP fell just one assist shy of a triple-double and led Denver in both rebounds and dimes. Jokic also tied his season high with four steals and hit multiple three-pointers for the third straight contest. Few, if any, players are as reliable as Jokic when it comes to putting up a well-rounded fantasy line on a nightly basis.

Jokic contributed 35 points (13-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 17 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 victory over the Warriors.

Jokic registered his first performance of 30-plus points since Jan. 23 and his highest scoring total since Jan. 19. He posted 11 points and eight boards in the first quarter alone and finished with his 12th consecutive double-double. Jokic leads all NBA players in that category with 46 this season and continues to push for his second consecutive NBA MVP award. The big man is averaging 26.0 points, 13.8 boards, 7.9 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 57.0 percent from the field over 52 games.

Jokic compiled 26 points (10-26 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 35 minutes in Monday's 121-111 win over the Magic.

With seven consecutive games of at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, Jokic joins Larry Bird, Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant as the only players in NBA history to accomplish that feat. Though Joel Embiid remains the betting favorite for the league MVP award, Jokic has submitted an impressive follow up to his 2020-21 MVP campaign. Through 51 games, he's averaging 25.8 points, a career-high 13.7 boards, 7.9 assists, 1.6 three-pointers, 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 57 percent from the field and 81.3 percent from the charity stripe.

Jokic racked up 28 points (10-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 110-109 victory over the Raptors.

Jokic was efficient from the field en route to his highest scoring outing since Jan. 28. He also grabbed at least 15 rebounds and blocked two shots for a second consecutive game. In February, the reigning MVP has recorded a double-double in all six games and a triple-double in two of those contests. During that stretch, he's averaged 24.2 points, 13.7 rebounds and 8.5 assists in 32.3 minutes per game. Jokic will look to continue his dominance Monday against the Magic.

Jokic produced 23 points (9-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Friday's 108-102 loss to the Celtics.

Jokic continues to dominate the league, notching his 15th double-double of the season and his fifth with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds. However, the reigning MVP did commit a season-high nine turnovers during the loss, but that can be credited to a swarming Boston defense, which only has gotten better with the addition of Derrick White. Jokic will have another tough test Saturday against a surging Raptors team that's in the midst of an eight-game winning streak.

Jokic racked up 21 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-115 win over New York.

Jokic wasn't sharp from deep and has played better this season, but despite the fact this was a pedestrian appearance for the reigning MVP, he still ended just three assists shy of putting up a triple-double while "only" logging 30 minutes. Jokic has played 30 or fewer minutes in five of his last six games but has posted three triple-doubles in that span, averaging 23.5 points, 12.3 rebounds and 9.8 assists per contest.

Jokic totaled 27 points (12-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 124-104 win over the Nets.

Jokic came up one assist short of a triple-double Friday against the Pelicans, but came through with another impressive performance while recording his 14th triple-double of the campaign Sunday. The reigning MVP has at least nine rebounds and eight assists in each of his past 12 contests, and he leads the Nuggets in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks this season.

Jokic contributed 25 points (7-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to New Orleans.

Jokic returned from a one-game absence, powering his way to another phenomenal performance. Firmly locked in as the best player in fantasy, Jokic is doing everything he can to carry the wounded Nuggets back into the playoffs. Unfortunately, he is typically not receiving the support he requires, leaving the team teetering on the brink of the play-in tournament. Of course, there is still a long way to go and so it would be foolish to write off the Nuggets just yet.

Jokic (toe) will play during Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Jokic will return following a one-game absence due to a toe injury. The Nuggets are returning home after a long six-game road trip. In Denver this season, Jokic is averaging 27.1 points, 14.1 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 33.8 minutes.

Jokic (toe) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic was considered questionable for Wednesday's contest after playing through the right toe soreness Tuesday against the Timberwolves, and he won't suit up for the second half of the back-to-back set. DeMarcus Cousins (foot), if he's available, JaMychal Green and Zeke Nnaji should see more run at center for Denver with Jokic sidelined.

Jokic (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Jokic played through right toe soreness during Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves and logged 21 points, 16 rebounds, eight assists and a steal in 30 minutes. If he's unable to play during the second half of the back-to-back set, DeMarcus Cousins (foot) and JaMychal Green could see additional run.

Jokic amassed 21 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Timberwolves.

Jokic was given very little support as the Nuggets were hammered by the Timberwolves. He once again led the team in multiple categories, something he has been doing all season long. While he remains in the discussion for the league's top honor once again, he is pretty clearly the number one fantasy player right now. With a clear path to minutes and production, there is little reason to think anything changes down the stretch.

Jokic (toe) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

The reigning MVP will push through his questionable tag to appear in his 31st straight game. In January, he averaged 26.6 points, 13.3 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 33.6 minutes.

Jokic is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Timberwolves due to right toe soreness, NBA freelance writer T.J. McBride reports.

Jokic finished Sunday's contest with 18 points, 15 assists, nine rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes, but he apparently picked up a toe injury as well. DeMarcus Cousins (foot) is also questionable, so if neither center is able to suit up, the Nuggets will have to play small ball with Zeke Nnaji, JaMychal Green and Jeff Green as their only available big men.

Jokic recorded 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 116-105 victory over New Orleans.

Jokic continues to be incredibly efficient while putting up massive numbers, a combination that fantasy managers dream of. Over his last seven games, the reigning MVP has averaged 31.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 10.1 assists and 1.9 steals in 36.1 minutes. During that stretch, Jokic has recorded six double-doubles and four triple-doubles. He'll look to continue his case for another MVP against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on Sunday.

Jokic produced 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 116-105 victory over the Pelicans.

In terms of player efficiency rating, Jokic is having the best season of all time. His PER of 33.11 easily tops 2019-20 Giannis Antetokounmpo and 1962-93 Wilt Chamberlain, respectively, for the highest figures on record. Over his past eight games, Jokic possesses a shooting slash of 59/45/93 percent -- elusive and dominant production.

Jokic accumulated 28 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 21 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Pistons.

Jokic notched his fourth double-double with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds and fell just one assist shy of his 12th triple-double of the season. Over his last five games, he's has averaged 29.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 36.0 minutes. The reigning MVP is making a strong case to repeat again this season, especially given he's kept the Nuggets in the playoff mix without Jamal Murray (knee) and Michael Porter (back).

Jokic supplied 34 points (12-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block across 36 minutes Sunday in the Nuggets' 117-111 win over the Pistons.

Jokic fell just short of notching his fifth consecutive triple-double, but since he still eclipsed his season averages in points, assists, steals and blocks while converting at an excellent clip from the field and the free-throw line, fantasy managers have little to complain about. The reigning MVP is making a compelling case to take home the hardware for the second season in a row; aside from a major spike in his rebound rate and a similarly sharp downturn in his free-throw percentage, Jokic's numbers are mostly in line with what he delivered in 2020-21.

Jokic notched 49 points (16-25 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 130-128 overtime win over the Clippers.

Even by Jokic's extremely high standards, this was a monster night, as he established a new season high in scoring while falling just one point short of tying his career best. Since the start of January, Jokic is up to 26.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 threes (42.9% 3Pt) per contest.

Jokic finished Sunday's 125-102 loss to the Jazz with 25 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, 14 assists and two steals across 37 minutes.

Jokic racked up yet another triple-double during the loss, his ninth of the season. The reigning MVP is putting together another incredible season despite the fact the team has slipped in the standings when compared to the past few years. There is very little standing in his way from at least being in the conversation when it comes to the best player in the league. Those who drafted him in October have to be thrilled with the return on investment at this point.

Jokic provided 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 133-96 victory over Los Angeles.

Jokic needed to play only 28 minutes in the contest due to the blowout nature of the win, but he still managed to notch his eighth triple-double of the campaign. The reigning NBA MVP led all players with 13 assists and 12 boards and shot an efficient 7-for-12 from the field. Jokic ranks in the top 10 leaguewide in points, rebounds and assists in what is shaping up to be another spectacular statistical season.

Jokic registered 21 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 87-85 loss to the Clippers.

Jokic started hot but cooled off with the rest of his squad in the second half as they surrendered a 25-point lead. Despite the narrow loss, Jokic did a decent job holding the Clippers' frontcourt in check and he did not disappoint with another full stat line.

Jokic closed Friday's 121-111 victory over Sacramento with 33 points (13-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes.

Jokic was dominant, effective, and productive in this contest -- all the traits fantasy managers would expect from an MVP-caliber player every time he steps on the hardwood. The star big man now has six double-doubles and one triple-double over his last seven appearances, a span in which he's averaging 26.7 points, 17.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game while shooting 50 percent from the field.

Jokic totaled 27 points (11-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 103-89 loss to the Mavericks.

Although the Nuggets were blown out on Sunday, Jokic distinguished himself as one of the league's most prolific fantasy options. He extended his current double-double streak to five games in the loss.

Jokic finished Saturday's 124-111 win over the Rockets with 24 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes.

Jokic's production Saturday wasn't particularly memorable, but his final line would be considered very impressive if it were posted by just about any other NBA center. He led Denver in scoring and rebounding despite logging just 25 minutes as a consequence of the Nuggets building a 25-point lead after three quarters. Jokic has double-doubled in four straight contests, and he is averaging 25.3 points, 18.0 boards and 5.3 assists over that stretch.

Jokic and the Nuggets don't have eight players for Thursday's contest against the Warriors, leading to the NBA postponing the game, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

This is a tough blow for fantasy managers relying on Jokic's MVP-caliber production. This month, he's averaged 25.2 points on 52.2 percent shooting, 14.3 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 33.0 minutes. The Nuggets next play Saturday against the Rockets, assuming they can piece together an eight-man roster.

Jokic posted 22 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 89-86 win over the Warriors.

Jokic has posted at least 22 points, 18 rebounds, five assists and one steal in each of the past three games. His shooting percentages haven't been great, and he's struggled with turnovers, but opposing teams have clearly been able to focus on him considering the lack of help around him. Still, the monstrous rebounding has helped make up for most of his inefficiency.

Jokic ended Sunday's 103-100 victory over Los Angeles with 26 points (9-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 22 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes.

After two straight discouraging losses before the holiday, the Nuggets bounced back against a shorthanded Clippers team missing Paul George (elbow), Reggie Jackson (COVID-19) and Marcus Morris (COVID-19). Jokic continues to pile up monster fantasy numbers, as he notched his second straight 20-20 game after finishing Wednesday's game against Charlotte with 29 points, 21 boards, five assists and a steal. Over his last 11 games, Jokic is up to 26.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 threes per game.

Jokic had 29 points (13-34 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 21 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 loss to the Hornets.

The reigning MVP has looked impressive on both ends of the court in most games this season, and Thursday's contest wasn't any different. Even though he needed 34 shots just to score 29 points, he excelled on the boards and also delivered another impressive passing performance. Jokic is averaging 25.5 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game across 11 contests this month.

Jokic produced 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 108-94 loss to Oklahoma City.

Jokic and the rest of Denver's starters struggled to such an extent in the contest that coach Michael Malone opted to play only reserves for the entire fourth quarter. The reigning NBA MVP finished well below his season average in most categories, though he did help fantasy managers with two blocked shots and seven boards. Jokic is more likely than not to bounce back in his next game, as he entered Wednesday averaging a triple-double (26.9 points, 13.1 rebounds and 10.1 assists) over his previous seven games.

The Nuggets' game against Brooklyn on Sunday has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The Nets currently have nine players in the league's Covid protocol and an additional four more players on the injury report. It would have been an absolute struggle for the Nets to field a complete roster for Sunday's matchup, leading the NBA to postpone the contest. Jokic and the Nuggets will instead play their next game Wednesday against the Thunder.

Jokic finished Wednesday's 124-107 loss to the Timberwolves with 27 points (11-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

The Nuggets might have lost in this one, but the reigning MVP delivered another impressive performance on both ends of the court en route to another triple-double. Jokic has accomplished that feat four times over his last six games, a span in which he's averaging 28.0 points, 13.7 rebounds and 10.7 assists per contest.

Jokic was ejected from Monday's game against the Wizards in the fourth quarter, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. He finished with 28 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3PT, 9-11 FT), 19 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and one block in 31 minutes.

Jokic was assessed a double technical foul with six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, preventing him from picking up his sixth triple-double of the 2021 campaign. He still managed to put up a monster stat line, as he continues to produce across the board for fantasy managers. Jokic's 19-rebound performance tied his season-high, as he also secured 19 boards Nov. 12 against Atlanta, Oct. 30 against Minnesota and Oct. 25 against Cleveland.

Jokic accumulated 35 points (15-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 17 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-112 win over the Spurs.

Jokic had notched a triple-double in three straight contests coming into the weekend, but he fell two assists shy of extending that mark Saturday. Still, he finished with his second game of at least 35 points and 15 rebounds on the campaign while helping the Nuggets avenge a loss to the Spurs in their previous contest. Jokic is arguably performing better than he did during his first MVP campaign last season -- his 26.5 points, 13.5 boards and 1.7 three-pointers per contest are each a career-high mark, and his 7.2 assists per game isn't far off from the 8.3 dimes per contest he averaged last season.

Jokic logged 39 points (17-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-114 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Jokic had an impressive game once again and recorded his second straight triple-double while also scoring at least 30 points for the fourth time over his last seven appearances. The star big man and reigning MVP has once again been a stat-filling machine and an absolute fantasy stud, with four triple-doubles and 12 double-doubles so far on the year.

Jokic (forearm) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

The 26-year-old's status was originally cloudy due to a forearm contusion but he will play against the Pelicans and should maintain his usual, heavy workload. Jokic is coming off of a 17-point, 15-assist, 12-rebound triple-double in Monday's loss to Chicago.

Jokic (forearm) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans.

Jokic landed on the injury report Tuesday with a right forearm contusion, but he will likely play Wednesday. The reigning MVP didn't appear to be phased by the issue during Monday's loss to the Bulls, as he dropped his third triple-double of the 2021-22 campaign.

Jokic recorded 17 points (6-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, 15 assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 109-97 loss to the Bulls.

While the Nuggets were out-classed in the second half, Jokic came through with another elite effort to post his third triple-double of the season. The big man has struggled a bit from three of late (5-19 3Pt over last four games), but any criticism of his fantasy profile is nitpicking. Last season's No. 1 overall player in most formats, Jokic remains one of the league's most unique and valuable producers, with the only real black mark being the fact that he's missed five of Denver's first 23 games.

Jokic posted 32 points (14-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 victory over the Knicks.

Jokic needed fewer than 30 minutes to dismantle the Knicks, who have fallen to a 5-8 record at home. Jokic is putting together an MVP-caliber campaign once again. Saturday marked his fifth 30-point game, his 13th game with at least 10 rebounds and his 13th game with at least five assists.

Jokic posted 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 36 minutes on Wednesday, as the Nuggets were upset by the Magic 108-103.

Jokic had a double-double along with five assists at the half, but was successfully neutralized in the second half. With the Nuggets lacking outside shooting (10-of-34 from three), Mo Bamba and Wendell Carter Jr. routinely crashed on Jokic. The Nuggets are beleaguered, but this likely marks more of an outlier than an expectation. Jokic will next take the court versus the Knicks on Saturday.

Jokic (wrist) ended Monday's 120-111 victory over the Heat with 24 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

The reigning MVP missed four games due to a wrist injury but didn't miss a beat in his return and ended just three assists away from putting up what would've been his third triple-double of the campaign. Jokic might have endured a rather slow start to the campaign -- compared to last season's numbers -- but he has turned things around with averages of 27.3 points, 14.0 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game over his last six appearances.

Jokic (wrist) will play Monday against the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The reigning MVP missed the past four games with a sprained right wrist, and he'll rejoin the lineup Monday after initially being considered a game-time decision. Jokic has averaged 26.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks through 14 games this season, and he shouldn't face any significant limitations in his first game back.

Jokic (wrist) is questionable against the Heat on Monday, according to Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com.

Jokic's availability is questionable again because of his sprained right wrist. If he sits out, there is a good chance JaMychal Green logs another start. The latter averaged 8.3 points and 5.7 rebounds across his last three games -- all when Jokic sat out.

Jokic (wrist) will remain sidelined for Friday's matchup with the Bucks, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic's absence will mark his fourth straight game missed due to a wrist injury. As a result, JaMychal Green and Jeff Green both figure to continue seeing increased minutes. The reigning MVP's next opportunity to return will come Monday versus the Heat.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks.

The big man has already missed the last three games, so the hope is that he can get back on the floor as the Nuggets play their final game of the week. Prior to the injury, Jokic was once again playing at an MVP level, posting 28.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 1.0 blocks, 1.8 threes and 0.6 steals over his last five appearances.

Jokic (wrist) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic will miss a third straight game Tuesday and remains day-to-day with a sprained right wrist. His next chance to play is Friday against the Bucks -- a contest he should tentatively be considered questionable for.

Jokic (wrist) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.

Jokic has missed the last two games due to a right wrist sprain but has a chance to return against the Trail Blazers. If he's forced to miss a third consecutive matchup, Jeff Green and JaMychal Green should see increased playing time once again.

Jokic (wrist) will not play Sunday against the Suns, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.

Shortly after the Nuggets called Jokic a game-time call, the big man has been officially ruled out for a second straight contest as he battles through a sprained right wrist. The fact that he was questionable coming into the day hopefully indicates that the injury is nothing too serious, but fantasy managers may consider keeping him on the bench in Week 6 as the Nuggets have only two games -- Tuesday at POR; Friday vs. MIL -- on the schedule.

Jokic (wrist) is considered a game-time call for Sunday's matchup against the Suns, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports.

Jokic missed Friday's game against Chicago in a rare injury-related absence, but there's hope that he'll be able to get back on the floor Sunday as the Nuggets close out a four-game week. The Nuggets will likely wait until Jokic can test out the wrist during pregame warmups before making an official call on his status prior to the 8:00 PM ET tip.

Jokic (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.

There's a lot of vague wording surrounding how significant Jokic's injury is and how long he may be out, but it's a positive sign that he's listed as questionable this weekend. Jeff Green and JaMychal Green will continue seeing extra minutes if the MVP remains shelved.

Jokic (wrist) is not dealing with a long-term injury, but coach Michael Malone noted that there's no official timetable for a return, and Malone doesn't want to "put him out there with one hand," Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

The MVP center has gotten X-rays and MRIs, which presumably came back relatively clean since there's been no update to say otherwise. While he's seemingly not dealing with anything serious, the language used to describe when Jokic might play again has been vague and not especially optimistic. It would be surprising if he played Sunday against the Suns, and fantasy managers in weekly lineup leagues may have to prepare for the upcoming Week 6 without Jokic. For as long as he remains sidelined, Jeff Green and JaMychal Green should continue seeing increased workloads.

Jokic (wrist) has been ruled out Friday against the Bulls, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Coach Michael Malone initially downplayed the severity of Jokic's injury, but he'll be forced to miss at least one game. JaMychal Green and Jeff Green should see increased run Friday.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Coach Michael Malone suggested Friday morning that there was nothing wrong with Jokic and that the big man will presumably play, but the team is still opting to list him as questionable. On chance Jokic sits out, more minutes would be available for JaMychal Green and Jeff Green.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone suggested Jokic (wrist) will likely be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Friday versus the Bulls, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports. "As far as I know there's nothing wrong with Nikola," Malone said of Jokic, who appeared to sustain a right wrist injury late in Thursday's 103-89 loss to the 76ers.

Jokic didn't play in the final four minutes of the game, but based on Malone's comments, that may have been more of a byproduct of the 76ers maintaining a big lead rather than any concern about the reigning MVP's health. Because the Nuggets won't hold a morning shootaround Friday, a clearer update on Jokic might not arrive until later in the day, but at this stage, the center looks probable ahead of a 9 p.m. ET tipoff against the Bulls. Though Golden State's Stephen Curry looks like the early frontrunner for MVP honors, Jokic has submitted an impressive follow up to last season's career-best campaign. He's averaging 26.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks in 32.4 minutes per game on 59.3/74.7/41 percent shooting splits from the field, free-throw line and three-point range, respectively.

Jokic suffered a right wrist injury during Thursday's 103-89 loss to the 76ers and could be on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bulls, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic was able to play through the wrist issue and put up a strong line with 30 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 35 minutes, but the injury may affect his availability for the second half of the back-to-back set. JaMychal Green and Bol Bol would likely see increased run at center should Jokic be unable to play Friday.

Jokic posted 30 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 35 minutes during Thursday's 103-89 loss to the 76ers.

The Nuggets shot an ugly 36 percent from the field as a team and were overmatched by a depleted Philadelphia squad, but none of those struggles can be placed on Jokic's shoulders. The reigning NBA MVP was the only Denver player to make over half of his shot attempts, and he paced the team in scoring and rebounding while finishing second in assists. Jokic is about as reliable as they come in terms of producing real-life and fantasy value this season. He has scored fewer than 22 points on only one occasion, and in that one outlier he still racked up 16 boards and eight dimes.

Jokic racked up 35 points (15-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Monday's 111-101 loss to the Mavericks.

Jokic's stat-stuffing ability shouldn't surprise anyone, and the fact that he can rack up massive numbers across the board while scoring with efficiency is one of the reasons why the reigning MVP was the first overall pick in so many formats. Even though he has surpassed the 30-point mark just three times this season, Jokic is averaging 26.1 points, 6.3 assists, 1.3 steals and a career-high 13.8 rebounds per game in 2021-22 so far.

Jokic registered 28 points (11-17 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 124-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Jokic entered the night with triple-doubles in each of his last two games, and he very easily could have made it three in a row had the game not been out of reach midway through the second half. The reigning MVP continues to be an ultra-elite fantasy player who has virtually no weaknesses in his stat profile. His free throw percentage (76.6%) is down a bit compared to last season (86.6% FT), but history suggests that it will eventually progress into the low-to-mid 80s.

Jokic finished with 22 points (10-22 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 105-96 victory over the Hawks.

Jokic returned after serving a one-game suspension, picking up right where he left off, guiding the Nuggets to an impressive victory. There is not much to say here other than that Jokic is rolling right now and is almost certainly going to be in the conversation for both the real-life and fantasy MVP awards once again this season.

Jokic has been suspended one game for his shove in the back on Markieff Morris, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Jokic will serve a light suspension for his response to Morris bodychecking him at halfcourt. With Jokic out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, the Nuggets will presumably turn to JaMychal Green, Jeff Green and potentially Zeke Nnaji or Bol Bol for minutes at center.

Jokic is expected to face a suspension from the NBA after he was ejected with 2:39 remaining in Monday's 113-96 win over the Heat for a blindside shove in the back of Markieff Morris, who sustained a neck injury and required assistance to the locker room, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Jokic delivered another big performance (25 points on 10-for-14 shooting from the field, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes), but his first triple-double of the season was marred by the ejection. He was also assessed a Flagrant 2 foul for the incident in question, which came in retaliation after Morris fouled Jokic at half court while trying to stymie a fast-break opportunity for the Nuggets. Jokic expressed remorse for his actions when talking to reporters after the game, but he's still likely to face punishment from the league. Expect the NBA to announce a suspension for Jokic prior to the Nuggets' next game Wednesday against the Pacers.

Jokic was ejected from Monday's game against Miami, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports. He finished with 25 points (10-14 FG, 5-8 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes

Jokic appeared upset with Morris earlier in the contest after a hard foul, and things finally boiled over in the fourth quarter when Jokic shoved Morris to the ground near halfcourt. A suspension figures to be forthcoming for the reigning MVP, who had a brilliant performance prior to the ejection.

Jokic recorded 28 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 95-94 win over the Rockets.

The Rockets couldn't contain Jokic on the inside, as the reigning MVP shot a season-high 11 free throws and was excellent on the glass. However, he turned the ball over five times compared to his two dimes -- a rare occurrence for Jokic. Still, it was a fantastic performance overall, and he remains one of fantasy's best assets.

Jokic recorded 34 points (11-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals during Wednesday's 108-106 loss to Memphis.

Jokic finished with an outstanding performance once again, and it may have been his best one offensively so far this season. The center paced the Nuggets with a season-high 34 points while grabbing double-digit rebounds to secure another double-double. Last year's MVP is currently posting 25.1 points, 13.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists while tallying six double-doubles. Jokic and the Nuggets face the Rockets on Saturday in what should be a favorable matchup for the 26-year-old.

Jokic tallied 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and four blocked shots in a loss to Memphis on Monday.

Jokic did a little of everything in the contest, pacing the Nuggets in scoring and assists while establishing a season high with four blocks. The big man has scored at least 23 points in all but one game so far this season, and Monday's performance was only the second in which he didn't grab double-digit rebounds. The Joker is enjoying another standout campaign, posting per-game averages of 23.9 points, 13.7 boards, 5.7 dimes, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks through seven contests.

Jokic totaled 26 points (10-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT). 19 rebounds, seven assists, three blocked shots and a steal across 37 minutes in Saturday's 93-91 win over the Timberwolves.

Jokic took a little while to warm up, but the All-Star put in the gas after the first quarter and decisively won a hard-fought battle with Karl-Anthony Towns under the basket. The two big men mixed it up early and often, and Jokic was successful in holding Towns to just 14 points and eight rebounds.

Jokic (knee) will play Saturday against the Timberwolves, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

As expected, Jokic will continue to play through a bruised right knee. Per 36 minutes this season, he's averaging 29.5 points, 17.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.3 steals.

Jokic (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jokic was questionable coming into Friday's game against the Mavericks. He ended up playing just 25 minutes in the blowout loss, and he posted 11 points, 16 rebounds, eight assists and one steal. Assuming Saturday's game stays close, Jokic should play a full complement of minutes. Per 36 minutes, he's averaging 29.5 points, 17.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.3 steals.

Jokic recorded 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 16 rebounds, eight assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Friday's win over the Mavericks.

Jokic had exited the Nuggets' previous game with a knee injury and while his scoring figures were not on his usual note, he didn't show any lingering effects of a potential injury and ended just two dimes away from putting up a triple-double. One of the most versatile big men in the league, Jokic is averaging 23.6 points, 14.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game so far.

Jokic (knee) will play in Friday's matchup with the Mavericks, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic injured his game in Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Jazz and was subsequently handed a questionable designation for Friday's game. Barring any setbacks, look for the star big man to take on his usual role for the Nuggets.

Jokic (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic has avoided structural damage, though he didn't practice Thursday. If he sits out Friday's game, more minutes would be available for JaMychal Green, Jeff Green and Zeke Nnaji.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said after Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Jazz that he doesn't believe Jokic (knee) is dealing a significant injury, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports. "I don't think it's anything too, too serious," Malone said of Jokic's bruised right knee.

Jokic picked up the injury late in the second quarter and headed to the locker room for treatment. Coming out of halftime, Jokic looked to be warming up with the intention of returning, but Malone said that it was his decision to hold the reigning MVP out for the rest of the night. Jokic's early exit appears to be mostly precautionary, and he'll benefit from a couple days of rest with Denver off the schedule until Friday against Dallas. Even in only two quarters of action, Jokic still delivered a useful line for his fantasy managers, posting 24 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 15 minutes.

Jokic (knee) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Jokic was in the midst of an impressive showing in Utah before going down with a bruised right knee late in the first half, and he finished with 24 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 15 minutes. The reigning MVP tested things out at halftime and didn't appear significantly hampered while warming up, so it's possible the Nuggets are holding him out as a precautionary measure. He'll have a couple days to recover ahead of Friday's matchup with the Mavericks.

Jokic went to the locker room during Tuesday's game against the Jazz after knocking knees with Rudy Gobert, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic appeared to be in significant pain while down on the court before being helped up and limping to the locker room. He dominated the contest prior to suffering the injury late in the first half with 24 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 15 minutes. According to Mike Singer of The Denver Post, Jokic is officially dealing with a right knee contusion and is questionable to return.

Jokic finished Monday's loss to Cleveland with 24 points (9-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 35 minutes.

In a game during which Denver shot only 40.7 percent as a team, Jokic showed that even an off night by his teammates can't slow down his massive production. The big man notched his season high in rebounds, led the Nuggets in scoring and finished with multiple steals for the third straight game. Jokic's relative lack of assists at the start of the campaign have held him back from flexing his full triple-double-threat muscles, but he has nonetheless been dominant with per-game averages of 27.7 points, 16.0 boards and 2.7 steals through three contests.

Jokic mustered 32 points (14-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and a block across 34 minutes in Friday's win over the Spurs.

Another game, another impressive fantasy outing for Jokic. The Serbian big man has two double-doubles to begin the year while putting 25-plus points in both contests, but he also ended just three assists away from registering a triple-double. It's only been two games so far, but Jokic is already backing up his status as an elite fantasy performer and a first-round pick across all formats.

Jokic posted 27 points (13-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes in a 110-98 victory versus Phoenix on Wednesday.

The Joker was up to his usual tricks in the opening game for both clubs, as he led all players with 27 points and 13 boards. Though his two dimes were well below last season's career-high 8.3 assists per game, Jokic's production helped Denver notch the victory against the reigning Western Conference Champions. Fresh off his first MVP campaign in 2020-2021, the big man is off to a strong start in his bid to reinforce his place as the NBA's -- and fantasy's -- top player.

Jokic (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Phoenix.

The reigning MVP rested for the preseason finale due to an ankle injury, but, as expected, it looks like that absence was mostly precautionary. Jokic should be set for a full workload Wednesday as the Nuggets take on the defending Western Conference champs. Jokic heads into the regular season as the near-consensus top player in most season-long fantasy formats.

Jokic (ankle) is out for Thursday's preseason finale against the Thunder, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

This isn't unexpected, as the Nuggets are on the second half of a preseason back-to-back. Jokic should be fine for the regular-season opener Wednesday against the Suns.

Jokic is questionable for Thursday's preseason finale against the Thunder due to left ankle soreness, freelance writer T.J. McBride reports.

The Nuggets are on the second half of a back-to-back, so it would be more surprising to see Jokic play than not. Many of the Nuggets' other regulars are out or questionable.

Jokic finished Wednesday's preseason game against the Thunder with 22 points (8-11 FG< 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block.

Seeing extended action (30 minutes) for the first time this preseason, Jokic issued a stern reminder as to why he took home MVP honors last season. Jokic needed just 11 shots to get to 22 points, and he had an excellent night on the defensive end to complement his usual production in assists and rebounds. Jokic enters 2021-22 as the near-consensus No. 1 overall fantasy player in most season-long leagues.

Jokic finished Wednesday's preseason game against the Warriors with 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks.

Making his preseason debut, Jokic needed only 16 minutes to rack up a double-double and lead the Nuggets in scoring. Coming off of an MVP campaign, expectations are higher than ever for Jokic, who's the most popular No. 1 overall pick in fantasy leagues for 2021-22.

Jokic (not injury related) is expected to play in Wednesday's preseason contest against Golden State, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic is back with the team and ready to start in the Nuggets' second preseason matchup. The reigning MVP averaged 26.4 points and 10.8 rebounds across 72 outings with Denver a season ago.

Jokic will not play in the Nuggets' preseason opener Monday against the Clippers, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic is expected to join the team soon after the first preseason game. The reigning MVP will likely participate in the back half of the preseason after he gets in some practice time.

Jokic was named to the All-NBA First Team.

This is unsurprising, as Jokic was named MVP earlier in June. Jokic played every game this season, and he averaged 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.3 steals. He also shot 56.6 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from deep. Jokic averaged similar numbers in the playoffs, but the Nuggets were swept by the Suns in the second round.

Jokic put up 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists before being ejected from Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns.

The Nuggets were once again playing from behind for most of the game, and the MVP's frustrations appeared to boil over late in the third quarter when he was assessed a Flagrant-2 foul for forcefully striking Phoenix's Cameron Payne on a steal attempt. Jokic needed only 28 minutes to post his sixth double-double of the playoffs, but it was a rough way to end a fantastic season for the 26-year-old, who did not miss a single game and was the No. 1 fantasy player in most season-long formats. Entering Sunday, Jokic was averaging 29.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.9 made threes in 10 postseason contests.

Jokic finished Friday's Game 3 loss to the Suns with 32 points (13-29 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 20 rebounds, 10 assists and a block.

Once again, the Nuggets were overwhelmed by Chris Paul (27 points), Devin Booker (28) and company, but Jokic was able to keep them within striking distance for most of the second half. The big man had an uncharacteristically poor night at the free throw line, but he more than made up for it with his most combined points, rebounds and assists (62) since a 47-point, 15-rebound, eight-assist effort against Memphis back on April 19.

Jokic finished Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Suns with 24 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes.

The Suns' defense swarmed Jokic virtually any time he touched the ball, but the newly minted MVP did what he could to lead the way for a Nuggets team that shot only 40.0 percent from the field. Through two games, Phoenix has done a good job of limiting Jokic as a scorer, though he's still been a productive fantasy option, totaling 22 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers in 66 minutes.

Jokic was named the 2020-21 NBA MVP on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old Serbian started all 72 games this season and averaged 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 56.6 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from deep, so it's hardly a surprise he earned the top individual honor in the league. Jokic and the Nuggets are currently trailing the Suns 1-0 in the Western Conference Semifinals, with Game 2 scheduled for Wednesday in Phoenix.

Jokic ended with 22 points (10-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 122-105 loss to the Suns.

The fact this was a bit of a disappointing game for Jokic says a lot about where expectations are at the moment. Deandre Ayton managed to keep him relatively quiet on the offensive end; however, Jokic did turn up the heat on the other end of the floor, racking up five combined defensive stats. The Nuggets will be hoping to secure a victory in Game 2 but for that to be the case, Jokic is going to have to take over when it comes to scoring the basketball.

Jokic notched 36 points (13-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and a steal across 36 minutes in Thursday's win over the Blazers.

Jokic looked impressive once again in the final game of the first-round series, as he scored at least 30 points for the fifth time in six contests against the Blazers. The MVP candidate ends the first-round series averaging 33.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

Jokic recorded 38 points (14-31 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks and a steal across 46 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Trail Blazers.

Jokic finished just one assist shy of putting up his first triple-double of the current playoff run -- a feat he accomplished 16 times during the regular season -- but at least he's double-doubled in three of his five games of the current series against the Blazers. The MVP candidate came up huge when the Nuggets needed him the most throughout the game, and he should remain a key figure going forward, especially after he's scored at least 34 points in four of his five postseason games thus far.

Jokic notched 16 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and an assist across 27 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Trail Blazers.

Jokic ended just one rebound shy of posting a double-double, but this performance was a below-average effort for his standards -- he's had an MVP-caliber campaign and has scored at least 34 points in each of the previous three games of the series. The Nuggets need more out of Jokic if they want to move into the Western Conference Semifinals.

Jokic tallied 36 points (12-24 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 120-115 win over the Blazers.

The 26-year-old has been on fire over his first three playoff games, averaging 36.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.0 three-pointers on 57.7 percent field-goal shooting in that span. The Nuggets are up 2-1 in the series thanks in large part to Jokic's outstanding play. The sixth-year center will look to keep up his impressive all-around play in Game 4 on Saturday.

Jokic compiled 38 points (15-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Monday's 128-109 win over the Trail Blazers.

Although the Jazz got off to a slow start, Jokic was not about to leave Denver without evening the series up at 1-1. He excelled with MVP-level precision in the shooting game and got excellent support from his teammates, a quality that was less prevalent in the Game 1 loss.

Jokic had 34 points (14-27 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Saturday's 123-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Jokic combined with Michael Porter Jr. to score more than half of the Nuggets points in what was a disappointing start to their playoff series. While the scoring and rebounding were nice, the fact he managed just one assist highlights how well the Trail Blazers handled things on the road. Based on everything we know, it would not be surprising to see Jokic put the team on his back on Monday when they look to even up the series.

Jokic accumulated 21 points (9-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 132-116 loss to the Blazers.

The 26-year-old produced a quality stat line in limited minutes Monday. Jokic had an MVP-type season, averaging a career-high 26.4 points, 8.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers along with 10.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 56.6 percent from the field. The sixth-year center will look to parlay his incredibly strong season into the NBA playoffs for the third-seeded Nuggets.

Jokic scored 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-7 FT) while adding 15 rebounds and 11 assists in 26 minutes during Friday's win over the Pistons.

The big man might have posted even better numbers in a more competitive contest, but Jokic saw his smallest workload of the season and was rested for the entire fourth quarter with the game well in hand. He still delivered his 16th triple-double of the year, adding to his new career high, while scoring at least 20 points for the eighth straight game.

Jokic totaled 31 points (14-21 FG, 3-3 FT, 0-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes during Thursday's 114-103 win over the Timberwolves.

Jokic continued his MVP campaign with yet another 30-point double-double, led by outstanding shooting from inside the arc (14-of-18). It was the big man's second 30-point double-double in as many games, and his fourth in his last seven games (averaging 29.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists during this stretch). Despite the gaudy numbers, the 26-year-old hasn't made a three in the last three games, but he has gone 28-of-29 from the free-throw line during that span.

Jokic (toe) will play Thursday against the Timberwolves, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic will be available as expected after he had been listed as probable with a toe injury. The 26-year-old should see his usual workload of about 35.0 minutes per game.

Jokic (toe) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Jokic miraculously hasn't missed a single game this season, and that trend looks likely to continue Thursday despite the fact that he popped up on the injury report. Denver has a back-to-back Thursday and Friday before closing out the season Sunday against Portland. Over the last five games, the MVP candidate is averaging 29.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.

Jokic tallied 30 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 16-17 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 win over the Hornets.

The 26-year-old has now scored 30-plus points in four out of his last six games, a span in which he's averaging 29.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists. Jokic is averaging career highs in points (26.5) and assists (8.5) through 69 games this season. The sixth-year center is making a strong case for the Most Valuable Player award, and he'll look to keep his monster season going Thursday on the road against the 13th-seeded Timberwolves.

Jokic delivered 24 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 assists, nine rebounds and a block across 35 minutes in Friday's loss against the Jazz.

Jokic ended just one assist shy from putting up what would've been his 16th triple-double of the season, and the star big man accomplished those numbers with great efficiency since he only missed two shots from the field all game long. Jokic has scored at least 24 points in seven of his last eight games but that shouldn't be much of a surprise, as he has delivered first-round value across all formats in what has been an MVP-level campaign for him.

Jokic totaled 32 points (10-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocked shots across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 113-97 win over the Knicks.

Jokic and the rest of the team had a white-hot start. Backed by Jokic, the team was up 34-12 at the end of the first quarter, and the Knicks could ever muster a charge long enough to come back from that initial deficit. The MVP candidate's dynamic first quarter helped propel his stat line to superior levels, and he was barely used in the second half.

Jokic (toe) is available and starting Wednesday against the Knicks, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

The 26-year-old was considered probable with right toe soreness, so it's not a surprise to see him in the lineup Wednesday. Jokic has averaged 27.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 32.6 minutes over the past five games.

Jokic is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks due to right toe soreness, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jokic has yet to miss a game this season, and even though he's dealing with a toe injury, he's unlikely to sit out Wednesday. Over the past five games, he's averaged 27.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.6 minutes.

Jokic compiled 32 points (12-28 FG. 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Monday's 93-89 loss to the Lakers.

Jokic kept the Nuggets in the game by dictating play in the paint and decisively won the interior match against Andre Drummond. Even with Anthony Davis' help, Jokic was the one player the Lakers didn't have an answer for, as has been the case for practically every team in the league this season. With the playoffs looming, expect Jokic to take some days off as the Nuggets are now clear of the play-in game.

Jokic scored 30 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-10 FT) to go along with 14 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 33 minutes in Saturday's win over the Clippers.

Jokic caught a bit of a breather in the team's previous game, but he returned to a normal role Saturday. He shot with strong efficiency -- particularly from the free-throw line -- to score at least 30 points for the 19th time this season. The Nuggets may choose to limit Jokic's minutes on a fairly regular basis down the stretch to ensure his full health in the playoffs and those decisions appear to be the only thing capable of slowing him down this season.

Jokic posted 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Thursday's 121-11 win over the Raptors.

Although Jokic still put up an excellent start line, we may be seeing the first glimmers of every fantasy manager's worst nightmare - the resting of players before the playoffs. Jokic taking a seat in the fourth quarter was interesting because the game was not out of hand. The Nuggets only led by two points going into the final stanza, and one would expect their MVP candidate to stay in the game. These scenarios will begin to pop up with increasing frequency over the next couple of weeks, and Jokic appears to be one of the first victims.

Jokic delivered 32 points (12-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, three steals and three blocks across 36 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.

Jokic had another stellar performance to carry the Nuggets to a tight home win over New Orleans -- the Serbian big man led Denver in points, steals and blocks while finishing second in both rebounds and assists. The MVP candidate ended his streak of double-doubles at two games, but that should be easily overlooked due to his excellent contributions across the board -- Jokic remains the most productive fantasy asset in both eight- and nine-category leagues, something that shouldn't change going forward considering his usage rate and his role as the undisputed go-to player for Denver, something that's even more noticeable with Jamal Murray (knee) out for the rest of the season.

Jokic scored 24 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT) to go along with 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 30 minutes in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.

Jokic took a back seat offensively to Michael Porter, but reached the free-throw line for at least 10 attempts for the seventh time this season. He also continued to haul in boards at a strong rate. The only blemish on Jokic's box score was his six turnovers, though that pales in comparison to the positives he provided in every other statistical category.

Jokic recorded 24 points (10-14 FG, 4=6 FT). 12 assists, eight rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 29 minutes in Saturday's 129-116 win over the Rockets.

Jokic came just two rebounds shy of a triple-double, but his stat line wasn't Jokic's biggest highlight. At the end of the first half, he hurled an overhead pass worthy of most NFL quarterbacks right into PJ Dozier's hands, who finished with a buzzer-beating dunk. Without the services of Christian Wood, the short-handed Rockets had no answer for Jokic and couldn't gain any ground after a spectacular first half from Jokic and Michael Porter.

Jokic scored 19 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding six rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Friday's loss to the Warriors.

By Jokic's triple-double standards this was an off night, and Friday's 12 combined boards and assists were his lowest total since he managed only 10 against the Blazers on Feb. 23. Expect him to bounce back in a big way Saturday at home against the Rockets.

Jokic registered 47 points (20-31 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and a block across 45 minutes in Monday's double overtime win over the Grizzlies.

Jokic was everything fantasy managers want out of a star player in this game, as he logged heavy minutes and contributed across the board while showing efficiency when it came to scoring -- he made 64.5 percent of his 31 attempts. The Serbian big man, who continues to strengthen his MVP candidacy on a nightly basis, ended just two assists shy of putting up a triple-double as well -- a feat he's accomplished in three of his last six games.

Jokic posted 29 points (10-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Friday's win over the Rockets.

Jokic was unable to log another triple-double, but he extended his double-double streak to eight games while also impressing from an efficiency standpoint -- he missed just two shots and didn't commit a single turnover. The star center has been one of the league's most productive players this season and is averaging 23.1 points, 11.0 assists and 10.9 rebounds per game over that aforementioned eight-game span.

Jokic went for 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 32 minutes in Wednesday's win over Miami.

Jokic has been on fire of late and has notched three triple-doubles over his last four appearances -- and he has also recorded seven straight games with at least a double-double or better. The star big man is averaging 22.3 points, 11.6 assists and 10.1 rebounds per game during that seven-game span.

Jokic totaled 17 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Ppt, 5-7 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Sunday's 105-87 loss to the Celtics.

Even the prolific All-Star could not stem the tide of Boston's comeback, but he still logged another standout stat line in Sunday's loss. Jokic combines floor-stretching shooting, unselfish play and an ability to dominate inside defensively. He's a threat to be the league's MVP this season and although he doesn't always post triple-doubles, he has 26 double-doubles to his credit as well.

Jokic scored a team-high 26 points (9-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding 14 assists, 13 rebounds and a steal in 38 minutes during Friday's win over the Spurs.

He did commit six turnovers, but it's hard to find much fault with Jokic's 12th triple-double of the season, leaving him one shy of tying last season's career high in the category. After a bit of a sluggish spell at the end of March and beginning of April in which he didn't score more than 21 points, the 26-year-old has found his form again, averaging 26.0 points, 11.7 assists, 10.0 boards and 1.0 steals over the last three games.

Jokic collected 25 points (11-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 assists, nine rebounds and one steal in a 106-96 victory over the Spurs on Wednesday.

Jokic fell just one rebound shy of a triple-double but was able to secure his third consecutive double-double due to his elite playmaking skills. It was the center's fourth consecutive game in which he failed to secure double-digit rebounds and is averaging "only" 8.4 rebounds across his last seven contests.

Jokic scored 27 points (13-16 FG, 1-2 FT) with 11 assists, eight rebounds, one steal and one block in a 134-119 victory over the Pistons on Tuesday.

Jokic continued his dominant all-around play, securing his 44th double-double of the season. It was also the 21st time this year that the center has secured at least one block and one steal in a game. Jokic's scoring has been down a bit of late, but he is still averaging 19.0 points, 9.4 assists and 8.8 rebounds across his last five contests.

Jokic posted 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Thursday's 101-94 win over the Clippers.

It was an atypical night for Jokic, who usually contributes monster numbers on a nightly basis. 'His teammates were simply more involved in the offense in the win. Jokic didn't reach double-digit scoring numbers until the third quarter and wasn't a huge factor in the victory, but this sort of outcome won't be a common occurrence for the All-Star.

Jokic collected 21 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in a 104-95 victory over the 76ers on Tuesday.

Jokic picked up his league-high 42nd double-double of the season despite not making a three for just the second time over his last seven games. The center has been very efficient over his last eight games, shooting 61.8 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from three. Over that stretch, Jokic is averaging 24.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Jokic turned in 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 28 minutes in Sunday's 126-102 win over the Hawks.

While it was a moderate scoring night for Jokic, he played a significant role in getting Aaron Gordon involved in the offense. Gordon was the recipient of many of Jokic's assists, and the end result was a very balanced offensive scheme that benefitted the starting five. Jokic still posted almost 50 fantasy points, and MVP-level production is sure to continue.

Jokic had 37 points (17-30 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine assists, six rebounds, two steals and a block across 41 minutes in Friday's win over the Pelicans.

Jokic ended just one assist away from putting up his 41st double-double of the season, and the MVP candidate continues to make an impact on both ends of the court for Denver on a nightly basis. The fact that he's averaging nearly a triple-double this season reflects the kind of impact he's had on a surging Denver team that once again looks poised to make a deep playoff run with Jokic as their anchor on both ends of the floor.

Jokic tallied 20 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.

The 26-year-old recorded his 40th double-double of the season. Despite the solid game, he took a minor step back on Wednesday after averaging 30.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks over his previous three games. The MVP front-runner will look to continue his impressive play on Friday when the Nuggets travel to New Orleans to play the Pelicans.

Jokic scored 28 points (11-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two assists and one block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Magic.

Jokic remained on a roll and tallied his third triple-double in the last four games. He's also contributed well on the defensive end of the floor of late, tallying at least one block in three consecutive contests despite averaging only 0.6 per game on the season.

Jokic scored a team-high 29 points (13-19 FG, 3-4 3Pt) while adding 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 loss to the Pelicans.

The big man came through with his 11th triple-double of the season and the 52nd of his career, but it wasn't enough to get the Nuggets into the win column. Jokic has recorded double digits in either boards or assists, or both, in 11 straight games, averaging 27.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.4 steals over that stretch.

Jokic scored 12 points (6-7 FG) with 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a 129-104 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday.

Jokic only needed three quarters to record his 10th triple-double of the season. The playmaking center didn't play in the fourth quarter thanks to a commanding lead and needed just seven shots to get his 12 points. The Joker's MVP-caliber play has continued in his first four games of the second half, as he is averaging 24.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game.

Jokic had 32 points (11-25 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block in Monday's win over Indiana.

It was another night at the office for Jokic, who continues to reign as the No. 1-ranked fantasy player in most formats. Over his last 10 games, Jokic is averaging 28.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, while draining 1.6 threes per game at a 44.4 percent clip.

Jokic collected 26 points (10-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 assists and eight rebounds Saturday in a 116-103 loss to the Mavericks.

Normally tallying double figures in rebounds, Jokic instead completed a double-double with 11 assists. He continues to prove his case as the most reliable option for these types of feats. Jokic owns more double-doubles than any other NBA player this season with 34 across 38 games.

Jokic (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Jokic was able to go through pregame warmups and is officially active Saturday. He's averaging 27.2 points, 11.1 rebounds and 8.5 assists in 35.9 minutes per game this season and should see his usual workload as long as the ankle holds up.

Jokic is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks due to a left ankle sprain.

Jokic had a strong double-double in Friday's win over the Grizzlies but apparently sustained an ankle injury during the matchup. As a result, he'll land on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup. If Jokic is forced to sit out, Isaiah Hartenstein and Zeke Nnaji (illness) could see increased run for the Nuggets.

Jokic had 28 points (13-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in Friday's win over Memphis.

In his first action of the second half, Jokic picked up right where he left off, putting up another strong all-around effort in 36 minutes. Dating back to Feb. 25, Jokic has now racked up six straight double-doubles, while notching a pair of triple-doubles in that span.

Jokic posted 20 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes during Thursday's win over the Pacers.

The 26-year-old continues to build a strong case for MVP. Jokic has led the Nuggets to four straight wins, averaging 28.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists while shooting 64 percent from the field. He hasn't missed a game all season, and should continue producing MVP-type numbers in the second half as long as he stays healthy.

Jokic ended with 37 points (15-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 128-97 victory over the Bucks.

At this point, we have basically run out of superlatives when it comes to describing just how good Jokic has been this season. He is the number one fantasy player in just about every format and to be honest, it's not even close. It is unlikely he was taken with the first pick in any drafts and so for those lucky enough to have secured his services, life is pretty good.

Jokic scored 39 points (17-28 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) to along with 14 rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two blocks across 38 minutes in Monday's win over the Bulls.

Jokic dominated the Bulls and drove the Nuggets to victory with a 35.2 percent usage rate. After deferring a bit of the scoring load to Jamal Murray of late, Jokic topped 25 points for the second time in his last six contests. Though he narrowly missed out on a triple-double, Jokic posted double-digit boards for the fifth time in the same six-game span.

Jokic ended with 19 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 13 assists and two steals through 30 minutes in the 126-96 win over Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Jokic continues to dominate in all facets of the game and is no doubt the leader for the Nuggets. The center continues to poor in points and grabs with a game here and there of incredible vision and ball movement. Typically he is one of the main shooters, but he took a step back here as the Nuggets had a comfortable lead. However, Jokic was tremendous in his time on the floor and was easily the most efficient shooter in the win. He is a great streaming option that covers all areas of the floor and is essentially matchup proof.

Jokic had 24 points (9-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and a steal in Thursday's loss to Washington.

The Nuggets fell to the Wizards for the second time in eight days, but it was another strong statistical night for Jokic, who ranks as the No. 1 overall fantasy player in most formats. He's hit at least three three-pointers in four of his last six games, while grabbing double-digit boards three times in that span.

Jokic had 41 points (17-32 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 win over Portland.

The 26-year-old led Denver to victory with his fourth 40-point performance of the season, though the five rebounds represents his lowest total of the year. Jokic has another attractive matchup versus the Wizards on Thursday.

Jokic had 15 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 4Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and three steals in Sunday's loss to the Hawks.

The Nuggets shot 51.2 percent as a team and drilled 16 threes, but it wasn't enough, as the Hawks were able to neutralize Jokic and hold him under 20 points for just the fourth time in his last 20 games. Jokic's four turnovers were his most in any game since Jan. 29.

Jokic scored 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3pt, 5-5 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and one block across 33 minutes in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.

Jokic was overshadowed by Jamal Murray's 50-point outburst, but still notched his sixth triple-double of the season. He was also particularly impactful on the defensive end of the floor and has notched multiple steals in three consecutive games. In addition to tremendous counting stats, Jokic has also had career-best shooting marks, including 87.5 percent from three free-throw line and 57.1 percent from the field for the season.

Jokic had 33 points (12-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 130-128 loss to Washington.

The 25-year-old didn't need to handle quite as much of the offensive load Wednesday with Jamal Murray popping off for 35 points, but it wasn't enough to secure the victory. Jokic is averaging 30.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists in four games since a 12-point performance Feb. 10 against Cleveland.

Jokic (thumb) is available and starting Wednesday against the Wizards, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

The 25-year-old came out of Tuesday's loss to the Celtics with a sprained right thumb, but his availability at Washington never truly appeared in question since he was considered probable. Jokic should be able to have his usual workload in the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday.

Jokic is probable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to a sprained right thumb, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic was dominant against the Celtics on Tuesday, posting 43 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 38 minutes. However, he sprained his thumb along the way. The injury apparently isn't that serious for the big man, as he's still expected to play Wednesday.

Jokic scored 43 points (16-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT) to go along with six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Celtics.

The Nuggets were missing a number of their key rotation players for the game, facilitating an exceptional performance from Jokic. He topped 30 points for the fifth time in his last nine games, shooting well from all areas of the floor. He supplemented the scoring with strong defensive stats, tallying a block for the third consecutive game while also racking up multiple steals for the second time in his last four contests. Overall, the performance was another standout effort from Jokic, who is averaging career-best marks of 27.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks through 27 games.

Updating a previous report, the NBA has added a game between the Nuggets and Cavaliers to Friday's schedule, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

The situation is a complete mess for fantasy purposes, but it looks as though the league will replace Friday's previously scheduled Hornets-Nuggets game with a matchup against the Cavaliers instead. Denver will now play Tuesday at Boston, Wednesday at Washington, Friday at Cleveland and Sunday at Atlanta in Week 9.

Jokic and the Nuggets will not play Friday against the Hornets after the league postponed the game, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The postponement stems from positive COVID-19 tests within the Spurs, who played against the Hornets on Sunday. Denver will still play Tuesday's game at Boston and Wednesday's game at Washington, as scheduled. Then, they'll have three days off before finishing the week with a Sunday night matchup in Atlanta.

Jokic recorded 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists and one block Sunday in a 122-105 home win over the Lakers.

Jokic completed his triple-double in three quarters as the Nuggets claimed a statement win over the defending champions. He now owns six triple-doubles, only one behind league leader Luka Doncic's seven. It marked Jokic's first triple-double since Jan. 14 (vs. GSW), but the MVP candidate made up in between that span by averaging 29.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists across 13 games.

Jokic recorded 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block over 37 minutes in Friday's 97-95 win over the Thunder.

Jokic took charge for the Nuggets on Friday, and he came within one assist of his first triple-double in nearly a month. He was a team leader in scoring, rebounds and assists during the narrow victory and should remain heavily involved for Denver going forward.

Jokic recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 30 minutes during the 133-95 win against Cleveland on Wednesday.

Jokic was one of the only players to not benefit from the thrashing of Cleveland in the win Wednesday. The center took a season-low seven attempts from the floor, but did make up for it in the assist department. This is nothing more than a blip on the season and Jokic will return to his normal self when Denver hosts Oklahoma City on Friday.

Jokic registered 35 points (13-26 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists in a 125-112 loss to the Bucks on Monday.

Jokic continued his dominant scoring stretch for Denver. The talented center has now scored at least 30 points in four of his last five games. The early-season MVP-candidate has been consistent all season, scoring at least 20 points in 17 out of his 23 games played. The Joker also continues to contribute large assist and rebound totals as well as he is averaging 11.5 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game.

Jokic posted 50 points (20-33 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 assists, eight rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 119-114 loss to the Kings.

Jokic put together a truly dominant performance and scored a career-high 50 points. It wasn't just scoring though, as Jokic contributed in all other aspects of the box score while committing only one turnover. Jokic is just the fifth player in NBA history to post 50 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in a game -- the others being Wilt Chamberlin, Richie Guerin, James Harden and Oscar Robertson.

Jokic tallied 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Lakers.

While Jokic put up yet another double-double, his final stat line was relatively muted as he logged his lowest point total of the campaign and produced nothing in the way of defensive stats. The opponent was clearly a primary factor -- the Lakers rank atop the league in defensive efficiency in 2020-21 and held Jokic below his usual numbers during last season's five-game matchup in the Western Conference Finals. There is little doubt that The Joker will bounce back from this performance given his MVP-worthy per-game averages of 26.1 points, 11.7 boards, 8.4 assists and 1.7 steals, each of which rank as the best mark of his career.

Jokic and the Nuggets won't play Monday against the Pistons after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This announcement came only 10 minutes before tipoff. It's unclear as to whether Denver will be cleared to play Thursday against the Lakers.

Jokic mustered 47 points (17-26 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block across 37 minutes in Sunday's win over the Jazz.

Jokic was the main reason why the Nuggets ended Utah's 11-game winning streak, as he matched his career-high in points while also pacing Denver in rebounds and finishing as the team's second-best passer. Jokic has been flirting with a triple-double average all season long, and the talented big man continues to be an elite asset in most fantasy formats regardless of the opponent.

Jokic racked up 35 points (14-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 39 minutes in Friday's loss against the Spurs.

Jokic paced the Nuggets offensively, ending as the team's highest scorer and rebounder while also finishing second in assists, but his efforts were not enough to record the win over the Spurs. Jokic managed to extend his double-double streak, though, and he has recorded one in each of his first 19 contests this season -- three of those were 10 or more assists. This does nothing but highlight the sizzling start to the campaign the Serbian big man has had in 2020-21.

Jokic scored 21 points (9-14 FG, 1-5 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in Wednesday's win over the Heat.

It was a relatively boring stat line for Jokic, which highlights just how strong his start to the campaign has been. However, he did maintain his streak of double-doubles and has recorded one in all 18 contests this season. He's also produced in peripheral areas of the stat sheet, as Wednesday marked the first game that he failed to generate at least one steal since Jan. 9.

Jokic posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3PT, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 34 minutes during the 117-113 win over Dallas on Monday.

Jokic is purely unstoppable at this point. It is rare that the center will have an off game and even when he does, he still outperforms most at his position. Jokic may only have a few triple-doubles this season, but he is still averaging a double-double per game. He is matchup proof and rarely disappoints. He is viable in all aspects of the game.

Jokic registered 29 points (9-21 FG, 11-14 FT), 22 rebounds and six assists in Saturday's 120-112 overtime victory over the Suns.

Jokic was a monster on the glass in the win, pulling down a career-high 22 boards, seven of which came on the offensive end. He also continued to put the ball in the hoop, pacing Denver with 29 points and exceeding the 20-point mark for the seventh straight game. The Joker has more than fulfilled his status as a consensus high first-round pick in fantasy drafts with per-game season averages of 25.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.9 steals. He is on pace for career-high marks in all four categories.

Jokic posted 31 points (15-27 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 40 minutes in Friday's overtime win over the Nuggets.

Jokic has been a triple-double machine this season and has already accomplished that feat five times while ending two rebounds or two assists short -- or fewer -- in six other contests. He is the engine that makes the entire Nuggets' offense work on a nightly basis and should remain a top-tier fantasy alternative across most formats since he is currently going through what's likely to end as a career-best year in several categories for the Serbian big man.

Jokic collected 27 points (12-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes, leading the Nuggets to a 119-101 victory over the Thunder on Tuesday night.

Jokic had 15 of Denver's first 28 points, setting the tone for his monster night. A larger stat line could have been in store if the Nuggets weren't up by 25 early in the fourth quarter. Still averaging a triple-double on the season, Jokic is the runaway top center in fantasy.

Jokic notched 35 points (14-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block across 40 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Jazz.

Jokic ended just one assist shy of posting his fifth triple-double of the season, but perhaps what's even more impressive is the fact that he has ended just one rebound or assist shy of reaching that feat in four other games. The versatile big man has been one of the top producers in the league through the first month of the campaign and is currently averaging 25.0 points, 11.4 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game through his first 13 contests.

Jokic compiled 23 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 36 minutes in Thursday's 114-104 win over the Warriors.

After attempting only four shots in the first half, Jokic turned on the gas after halftime and gave another brilliant MVP-worthy performance. Incredibly, the big man leads the NBA in assists and put up his 46th career triple-double in the win.

Jokic scored 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go with 11 assists, eight rebounds, seven steals and one block across 34 minutes in a 122-116 loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday.

Jokic was kept in check in the second half after scoring 15 points before halftime. Denver held a 16-point going into the third quarter, but a strong performance from Kevin Durant and company stole the win from Jokic, who added just four points in the fourth, and the Nuggets down the stretch. The center has logged at least a double-double in each game this season, achieving a triple-double in four of his outings.

Jokic registered 22 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 30 minutes in Sunday's win over the Knicks.

Jokic has recorded a double-double in each of his first 10 games this season, but the interesting aspect behind that lies on the fact that the big man has accomplished that feat with assists, and not rebounds, three different times. In fact, Jokic has dished out 10 or more assists seven times already and is still averaging a triple-double through his first 10 games.

Jokic recorded 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and 12 assists in 29 minutes in the 115-103 win over Philadelphia on Saturday.

Jokic was handed limited minutes and still performed in the blowout win Saturday. The center continued his dominant form against a shorthanded Philly rotation. Jokic is averaging a double-double per game this season and typically has more points if he rebounds more in a game, whereas if he has more assists he is going to be scoring less. This will all be based on matchup and game-script however and the center will have another viable matchup at the Knicks on Sunday.

Jokic tallied 38 points (14-31 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 41 minutes in Thursday's 124-117 overtime loss to the Mavericks.

Jokic is emerging as a darkhorse MVP candidate with his consistent and exemplary play. In just eight games, he has four triple-doubles and four double-doubles to his credit. He's building an MVP resume that may be tough to beat, and he's topping the charts as the best center in the league currently.

Jokic registered 35 points (12-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block across 37 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Timberwolves.

Jokic was just four assists shy of putting up his fifth triple-double of the season, an amazing feat considering he has played just seven games so far. The Serbian big man ended just one rebound away from that mark in two other games, so his all-around ability has been in full display thus far and has been one of the league's elite performers in both fantasy and real life. Through his first seven appearances of the campaign, Jokic is averaging 24.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 11.9 assists per game.

Jokic tallied 19 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and 12 assists in 32 minutes Sunday in the Nuggets' 124-109 win over the Timberwolves.

Jokic's triple-double was his fourth in six games this season and the 45th overall of his career. In addition to averaging 22.3 points, 12.8 assists and 11.3 rebounds per game, Jokic is also providing elite efficiency with 61.7/81.8/43.8 percent shooting splits from the field, free-throw line and three-point range, respectively. Though Jokic looks like an early MVP frontrunner, his juicy stat lines haven't translated to victories, as Denver sits at a disappointing 2-4 even after Sunday's win.

Jokic tallied 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in Friday's loss to the Suns.

Foul trouble limited Jokic to 30 minutes in the contest, but he nonetheless produced another well-rounded stat line and fell one board short of his third straight triple-double. In fact, The Joker would have five consecutive triple-doubles to begin the campaign if not for this and a separate nine-rebound performance against the Clippers. Jokic's unique skillset makes him perhaps the league's most appealing big man from a fantasy perspective, and he currently leads all NBA players with 13.0 assists per game.

Jokic totaled 26 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in Tuesday's loss to the Kings. He also turned the ball over 10 times.

With his third triple-double in four games this season -- he finished one rebound shy of the mark in the other contest -- Jokic claimed the franchise record for most triple-doubles in a career (44). However, the accomplishment was somewhat sullied by Jokic's 10 giveaways and Denver's third loss. Still, the big man has elevated his game in the early portion of the campaign, as he is on pace to set career highs in nearly every offensive category.

Jokic tallied 19 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, 18 assists, three steals and one block in Monday's 124-111 win over the Rockets.

Jokic's versatile skillset was on full display in the victory, as he was the only player on either squad to hit double figures in either rebounds or assists and tied for second on his team with 19 points. The 18 assists were a career high for the big man, and the triple-double moved Jokic into a tie with Fat Lever for the most (43) in franchise history. Jokic has lived up to fantasy managers' lofty expectations so far this season, averaging an absurd 24 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists through three games.

Jokic scored 24 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT) and totaled nine rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in Friday's loss to the Clippers.

Despite consecutive losses to open the season for Denver, Jokic has looked impressive on the floor, and he fell just one rebound shy of his second straight triple-double in the Christmas Day loss. Fantasy managers who invested a first-round pick on Jokic based on his multi-category skillset have nothing to be disappointed in thus far.

Jokic scored 29 points (11-18 FG, 1-2 3PT, 6-9 FT) to go with 15 rebounds, 14 assists, and three blocks in 42 minutes of Wednesday's 124-122 loss to Sacramento.

You couldn't have asked for more from your first round pick as Jokic kicked off the season in style with a triple-double. The center did everything he could to help Denver find a win on opening night, leading the team in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks while playing a team-high 42 minutes. Jokic is one of the safest fantasy assets around with a concrete role and to this point in his career no major health issues.

Jokic tallied 26 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 loss to the Warriors.

Jokic hit the ground running in the preseason opener, looking like he has lost nothing over the abbreviated offseason. A typically slow starter, the short layoff may actually work in his favor, as well as those with fantasy shares invested in him. If he can churn out performances like this from day one, he could very well be a top-5 fantasy asset this season.

Jokic registered 20 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 Game 5 loss against the Lakers.

Jokic hit the 20-point mark in four of Denver's five games against the Lakers, but his contributions on both ends of the court were not enough to pull the upset. Jokic was one of Denver's best players during the team's postseason run and averaged 24.4 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in 19 playoff contests.

Jokic produced 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to the Lakers.

Jokic battled foul trouble and was adequately contained by both Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard, finishing with a somewhat underwhelming line. After dominating against the Clippers, Jokic has found the going a lot harder against a team that has the ability to throw multiple options at him. The Nuggets find themselves trailing 3-1 yet again and they will look to force a Game 6 with a victory on Saturday.

Jokic had 30 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3PT, 11-12 FT), nine assists, six rebounds, and four steals in Sunday's Game 2 loss to the Lakers.

Jokic was the best player on the floor for most of the second half, and he scored the Nuggets' final 11 points, including a late jump-hook to put Denver ahead with 20.8 seconds remaining. The big man also registered four steals -- tied for his most in any playoff game this season. Through two games of the series, Jokic is averaging 22.5 points, 10.5 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals.

Jokic produced 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Friday's 126-114 Game 1 loss to the Lakers.

Jokic picked up three fouls in the first quarter and was never able to get things going as the Nuggets fell to an impressive Lakers team. He finished with a solid stat line but the playing time was well down, thanks to the foul issues as well as the fact the game was a blowout. A night such as this might not be the worst situation for Jokic and the Nuggets as it gives their key players a bit of rest heading into Game 2 on Sunday.

Jokic amassed 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 22 rebounds, 13 assists, three blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 104-89 victory over the Clippers.

Jokic left the bulk of the scoring up to Jamal Murray in this one but certainly made up for it with sublime production across the board. He has been simply amazing over the past few games and has the Nuggets ready to go as they move on to the Conference Finals for the first time in 11 years. He will come up against an elite defender in Anthony Davis in the upcoming series and that in itself is going to be a matchup worth watching.

Jokic had 34 points (13-22 FG, 4-6 3PT, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, and seven assists in Sunday's Game 6 win over the Clippers.

The Nuggets trailed by 16 points in the third quarter but mounted another major comeback and took control of the game over the final few minutes. Jokic led the way for Denver, posting team-highs in points, rebounds and assists. Sunday marked his fifth consecutive double-double.

Jokic ended with 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Friday's 111-105 Game 5 victory over the Clippers.

Jokic continues to shoulder a lot of the load for the Nuggets and nailed a couple of clutch baskets as they forced the series to an unlikely sixth game. He has now scored at least 22 points in four consecutive games, adding double-digit rebounds in all four as well as a combined 11 three-pointers. As arguably the most well-rounded center in the league right now, Jokic is going to have to continue to go to work if the Nuggets are to push the Clippers to seven games.

Jokic posted 26 points (11-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and a block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's Game 4 loss against the Clippers.

Jokic has been absolutely dominant against the Clippers in the series, posting three straight games with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds, but his efforts have not been enough for Denver to compete against the Clippers. Jokic is averaging 24.8 points, 11.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists while shooting 51.3 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from three in four games against the Clippers, as he has been dominating the paint against Ivica Zubac on a routine basis.

Jokic (wrist) posted 32 points (13-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 39 minutes Monday in the Nuggets' 113-107 loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the series.

Listed as questionable heading into the day with the sprained right wrist, Jokic gained clearance to play shortly before opening tip and proceeded to turn in perhaps his most complete effort of the season. Jokic's 32 points were his most since Feb. 21, and he narrowly missed out on his second triple-double over the Nuggets' 18 games at the NBA bubble in Orlando. Unfortunately for the star center, the rest of Denver's starting five combined for 46 points on 18-for-44 shooting from the field (40.9 percent), which was enough for the Clippers to come away with the victory and claim a 2-1 series lead.

Jokic (wrist) will play in Monday's Game 3 matchup against the Clippers, Kendra Andrews of The Athletic reports.

Jokic was considered a game-time decision, but he has ultimately been given the green light. The star big man figures to take on his usual heavy workload assuming he is able to avoid any setback.

Jokic (wrist) will be a game-time decision for Monday's Game 3 against Los Angeles, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Jokic will reportedly go through pregame warmups and then the Nuggets will issue a statement whether the center will play. An official decision regarding Jokic's status in Game 3 should surface before tipoff.

Jokic is considered questionable for Monday's Game 3 against the Clippers due to a sprained right wrist, TJ McBride of Mile High Sports reports.

The big man was not on the initial injury report, but he's been added as Monday's contest approaches. Jokic did not appear to be bothered by the wrist in Saturday's Game 2 win, when he posted 26 points and 18 rebounds in 37 minutes. Keep an eye on Jokic's status after shootaround Monday morning.

Jokic ended with 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 victory over the Clippers.

Jokic powered the Nuggets to victory as they leveled the series at 1-1. After a poor showing in Game 1, the Nuggets came out firing, scoring 44 points in the opening quarter. Jokic did most of his damage in the first half but nailed a couple of clutch baskets down the stretch as well as dominating the glass. Many gave the Nuggets little chance of upsetting the Clippers and while that may still be the case, they have at least breathed some life into the series.

Jokic finished with 30 points (12-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Monday's 80-78 victory over the Jazz.

Jokic put the team on his back Monday, scoring 30 of their 80 total points. Jamal Murray couldn't get things going on the offensive end and in a game dominated by defense, it was Jokic who stepped up. While Murray is going to get most of the credit for the series victory, Jokic has been quietly fantastic, scoring at least 28 points in five of the seven games, while also averaging more than five assists and connecting on 22 triples.

Jokic tallied 22 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes in Sunday's 199-107 win over the Jazz.

If you remove Jokic's name from Tuesday's stat line, you'd assume a backcourt player generated it. Jokic is equally lethal from 25 feet as he is from the restricted area, and because he spends more time on the perimeter than most big men in the league, his assist totals rival the dime-dropping of his backcourt teammates. On Sunday, he left most of the rebounding duties to Michael Porter and a host of other second-unit players while he distinguished himself as more of a 3-level shooter who could create mismatches elsewhere. If Jokic's three-point shot is humming, the Nuggets' odds of advancing to the second round increase dramatically.

Jokic posted 31 points (12-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and a block in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 Game 5 win over the Jazz.

Jokic wasn't as much of a scoring threat as Murray was, but the Serbian big man delivered another strong performance on both ends of the court and was particularly dangerous from beyond the arc -- his seven treys were a season-high mark for him. Jokic has scored 30 or more points in three of his last four games.

Jokic had 29 points (12-24 FG, 3-10 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and six assists in Sunday's Game 4 loss to Utah.

Jokic never quite found his stroke from three, but he converted 9-of-14 attempts from two-point range, while contributing his usual production as a passer and rebounder. For the second straight game, Jokic only got to the free throw line twice, as the Nuggets finished with 26 fewer free throw attempts, as a team, than Utah.

Jokic collected 28 points (10-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 Game 2 loss to the Jazz.

Jokic struggled a bit in the first half but turned things around in the second to finish with a quality stat line. However, due to the lopsided scoreline, Nuggets coach Michael Malone opted to shut Jokic down for the latter stages of the fourth quarter. Jokic logged 42 minutes in the team's Game 1 overtime win, so it's not as if Malone is unwilling to play the star center heavy minutes when the occasion calls for it.

Jokic scored two points (1-1 FG), grabbed one rebound and dished out two assists in 11 minutes during Friday's loss against the Raptors.

Jokic only played 11 minutes in this one, as the Nuggets didn't want to risk him in the regular-season finale with the playoffs right around the corner. Jokic averaged 17.9 points per game during the Orlando bubble and should be one of the most important players for Denver during the upcoming first-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz.

Jokic recorded 30 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 134-132 double-overtime win over the Jazz.

Jokic had his second 30-point effort of bubble play Saturday, and it's his 10th 30-point game of the season overall. He's been excellent passing the ball over the past four games, totaling 41 assists to 18 turnovers. Jokic will look to continue his strong play Monday against the Lakers and the team's strong frontcourt of Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee.

Jokic finished with eight points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 assists and five rebounds in 24 minutes during Thursday's loss against the Blazers.

Jokic assumed a playmaking role considering the absences of both Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Gary Harris (hip), and the result was a 13-assist performance -- it was the 19th time this season that Jokic dishes out 10 or more dimes. He has registered double-digit assists in each of his last three games and is averaging 10.0 assists per contest in four appearances since the league's resumption.

Jokic mustered up 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 win over the Spurs.

Jokic has been putting his playmaking ability on full display through the first several games of the restart. Denver typically runs its offense through Jokic, and that has been especially true with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined of late. With the Nuggets still in the hunt for the second seed in the Western Conference, Jokic can likely be expected to continue logging plenty of minutes.

Jokic scored 30 points (10-21 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 121-113 overtime win over the Thunder.

With Jamal Murray (hamstring), Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) all sidelined, the Nuggets unsurprisingly turned to Jokic to carry the load, and the 25-year-old responded with his 13th triple-double of the season -- a new career high -- and the 41st of his career. Denver can still catch the Clippers for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, so even with a patchwork starting lineup around him, expect Jokic to remain at the top of his game over the final contests of the regular season.

Jokic recorded 19 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Heat.

Jokic had a solid effort, but it wasn't enough to fuel the short-handed Nuggets to victory. Next up for Jokic and the Nuggets is matchup Monday against the Thunder, and Steven Adams could present a problem for Jokic on the low block.

Jokic went scoreless (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT) but posted six rebounds, five assists, and one block in 24 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Magic.

Jokic notched 16 points in the first scrimmage against the Wizards and later flirted with a triple-double against the Pelicans last Saturday, so it was surprising to see him go scoreless in the final tune-up game before the season opener Aug. 1. Perhaps the most important thing about his return was the fact that he returned to his regular center role, as Jamal Murray started at point guard. Pencil Jokic as one of the go-to players for the Nuggets ahead of Aug. 1 opener against Miami.

Jokic notched 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block in 26 minutes during Saturday's 119-104 scrimmage loss against the Pelicans.

Jokic got a second straight start at point guard and didn't disappoint. He might look comfortable in that role, but he has been fulfilling that position due to the absence of players such as Jamal Murray (coach decision) and Gary Harris (hip). Jokic is widely expected to move back to his regular center role once the regular season resumes next week.

Jokic amassed 16 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 89-82 scrimmage win over the Wizards.

Jokic made his return to action Wednesday, playing as the starting point guard. The break has certainly done Jokic the world of good in terms of health, looking as fit as he ever has. While this move made sense in terms of his dynamic passing ability, it is likely that he will shift back to center once the actual seeding games begin. The Nuggets were without basically their top-three guards and so it hard to see Jokic running the point on a permanent basis.

Jokic intimated Tuesday that he's anxious to return to competitive basketball, the Denver Post reports.

Jokic has been with the team in Orlando for more than a week, but thus far teams have been limited to intrasquad scrimmages during practice. On Wednesday, the Nuggets will play the first of three scrimmages against a different opponent. With a matchup against Washington approaching, Jokic indicated that he's unsure how much he'll play. "I don't know how many minutes, I don't know how much I am going to play, but I want to play just to see how I am going to be there, just to get some wind in, just some running, just to play some live basketball," Jokic said.

Jokic (illness) officially joined the Nuggets in Orlando on Tuesday.

The Nuggets' official Twitter account posted photos of the big man in Orlando after his arrival was delayed by a positive coronavirus test. While his absence was certainly newsworthy, Jokic's status for the NBA restart never appeared to be in much jeopardy. Assuming he's moved past the positive test, which occurred in June while he was in Serbia, the slimmed-down Jokic should be available when the Nuggets begin their eight-game finish to the regular season on Aug. 1 against Miami.

Jokic (illness) is still in Serbia and, due to travel issues, is still awaiting a flight to the United States, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

It's been almost three weeks since Jokic tested positive for the coronavirus. He's recovering well, but finding a flight from Serbia to the United States is causing him difficulty. As of now, it doesn't seem imminent that he'll miss any games, but the clock is certainly ticking. At the very least, Jokic will probably be behind his teammates from a conditioning standpoint.

Jokic (illness) is expected to join the Nuggets before the team heads to Orlando on Tuesday, ESPN reports.

Jokic is still overseas following his positive COVID-19 test, but coach Mike Malone said he's been in touch with the big man, who is expected to return to the United States within the next few days. "Next Tuesday, we depart for Orlando," Malone said. "The hope and expectation is that Nikola Jokic will be with us on that plane... From everything that I have heard and talked to him, he feels great and is excited."

Denver head coach Michael Malone said Wednesday that Jokic (illness) "feels great" while recovering from the coronavirus and is on track to join the Nuggets when the team heads to Orlando next week for the resumption of the 2019-20 NBA season, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Shortly after news of Jokic's positive test surfaced last week, reports surfaced indicating that the star center wasn't showing any symptoms of COVID-19 and was progressing well, so Malone's comments on the matter aren't overly surprising. Even so, it's encouraging for the Nuggets that Jokic, who is currently in Serbia, still plans to return to the United States to join the team as it heads to Orlando next Tuesday. Because he'll miss out on a few training sessions, Jokic could find himself behind the rest of his teammates from a conditioning standpoint, but he shouldn't face any restrictions by the time the playoffs begin.

Jokic tested positive for the coronavirus in Serbia, and his return to Denver is temporarily delayed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Jokic is reportedly asymptomatic in the days since the positive test, but he'll likely have to wait until next week to return to the United States. Once he's cleared, Jokic is expected to join the Nuggets for training in the lead-up to the season restart in Orlando.

Jokic had 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during the Nuggets' 113-97 loss to the Mavericks on Wednesday.

Nearly nabbing a triple-double, Jokic shot above 50 percent after failing to do so in Denver's previous four contests. He hasn't quite resembled a first-round fantasy asset lately, but Wednesday may have symbolized Jokic's emergence from his slump. The NBA will be entering a period of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 virus. While global safety is clearly the priority, owners will hope that Jokic returns from the delay healthy and hungry.

Jokic recorded 10 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and a steal in Denver's 109-95 win over the Bucks on Monday.

Jokic had only attempted one shot until midway through the third quarter and was on-track for his quietest game of the year prior to some Milwaukee turnovers. The Nuggets have lost games to the Warriors and Cavaliers recently, and were unable to pull away from the Bucks sans Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Eric Bledsoe (knee), Khris Middleton (rest) and Brook Lopez (rest). Jokic has looked timid and is slumping, but will have no time to reflect prior to a primetime matchup Tuesday in Dallas.

Jokic finished with just eight points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 104-102 loss to Cleveland.

Jokic failed to reach double-figures for the first time since early December, turning in one of his worst performances of the season. He has certainly slowed on the offensive end over the past two weeks, a stanza that has seen him fall outside the top-20 in standard formats. This is merely a bump in the road for Jokic and he will look to bounce back in what will be a crucial matchup against the league-leading Bucks on Monday.

Jokic finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 win over the Hornets.

Jokic picked up his fourth foul early in the third, sentencing himself to the bench for the rest of the quarter (and then some). He also committed six turnovers, but in the end Jokic stepped up in the closing stages of the contest and flirted with a triple-double.

Jokic notched 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-100 loss against the Warriors.

Jokic came just three assists shy of posting back-to-back triple-doubles for the first time this season. One of the most versatile big man in the league, Jokic remains the biggest fantasy asset on the Nuggets roster due to his role as a stat-filling double-double threat on a nightly basis.

Jokic totaled 23 points (8-11 FG, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 133-118 victory over the Raptors.

Jokic was a monster once again, turning in his 12th triple-double of the season. The Nuggets are locked in as a playoff team; however, seeding is everything in what is a stacked Western Conference. There is very little risk of him missing time and so those who have the big-man rostered should look forward to a fruitful fantasy playoff run.

Jokic tallied 21 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Friday's 132-103 loss to the Clippers.

Although the Nuggets have the talent to go far in the playoffs, they were no match for a Clippers team that's finally healthy across the board. The team's dependence on Jokic could prove to be a detriment as they make a playoff run, especially when you consider the quality frontcourts that populate the Western Conference. Friday marks the fourth-straight game where the usually-prolific center failed to record a double-double. He faces another stiff test against the Raptors on Sunday.

Jokic went for 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 115-98 win over the Pistons.

Jokic has gone three straight games without a double-double, but he has compensated that with impressive levels of accuracy from the floor. The Serbian big man has converted 75.7 percent of his field-goal attempts in those three games while still averaging 24.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per contest. He has three double-doubles and two triple-doubles in nine February outings.

Jokic posted 24 points (11-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks across 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-116 victory over the Timberwolves.

Jokic hasn't dipped below 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in any of his past three games. Sunday's performance also marked the 12th time in Jokic's career that he's posted at least 20 points, two steals and two blocks, with the Nuggets going 9-3 in those contests. In February, he's averaging 27.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks while shooting 63.8 percent from the field.

Jokic had 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and three steals in Wednesday's overtime loss to the Lakers.

Jokic went toe to toe with Anthony Davis all night, and he finished with his sixth double-double in his last seven games. The big man continues to lead the way for the Nuggets' offense, though he faced some criticism for passing up an open three-pointer late in overtime. Rather than shooting with Alex Caruso closing out, Jokic put the ball on the floor and ultimately committed a turnover while attempting to kick the ball to a shooter in the corner.

Jokic accounted for 19 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 assists, eight rebounds and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 127-120 win over the Spurs.

Jokic continues to play at a stellar level of late, with two triple-doubles and two double-doubles during his last five games. He has delivered first-round value since the beginning of 2020, and the Serbian big man is averaging 24.5 points -- on 54.2 percent shooting -- to go along with 10.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game since the start of the New Year.

Jokic tallied 30 points (14-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 21 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 98-95 victory over the Jazz.

Jokic was phenomenal in the win, becoming just the 10th player in history to record a 30/20/10 game. The Nuggets ran a tight seven-man rotation after Tuesday night's four-team trade. This resulted in the starters all playing in excess of 36 minutes, leading to some gaudy stat lines. Jokic has been the second-ranked player over the past two weeks and with the Nuggets pushing for a high playoff seeding, the production should continue all the way through to April.

Jokic finished with 29 points (11-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 127-99 victory over Portland.

Jokic turned in arguably his best all-around performance of the season, lifting the Nuggets to a comfortable victory. He has been a top-five player over the past month, a far cry from where he was earlier in the season. Congratulations if you managed to buy-low on him after his slow start and he should now continue to be an easy first-round player the rest of the way.

Jokic exploded for 39 points (16-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 128-123 overtime loss at Detroit.

Jokic has been an elite fantasy player over the last few weeks, and the numbers support that claim. Since Jan. 22, Jokic has three triple-doubles and four double-doubles in seven games, and he is averaging 25.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists during that stretch. The Serbian big man has been tasked with an increasing responsibility on offense due to the continous absences of both Paul Millsap (knee) and Jamal Murray (ankle), but he is embracing the role thus far.

Jokic managed 25 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 loss at Memphis.

Jokic extended his double-digit streak to seven games and he has also recorded two triple-doubles during that stretch. He continues to embrace a bigger role offensively due to the absences of Jamal Murray (ankle) and Paul Millsap (knee), as well as Gary Harris' well-known scoring struggles throughout the season, and that has resulted in a sizable spike in his production over the past month. The Serbian big man is averaging 23.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 14 January contests.

Jokic had 24 points (9-18 FG, 0-2 3PT, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 win over the Rockets.

Jokic has embraced a bigger responsibility on offense considering the absences of Paul Millsap (knee) and Jamal Murray (ankle), as well as Gary Harris returned to the lineup only a few games ago. He has two triple-doubles and six straight double-doubles, averaging 23.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game over that span. He should remain Denver's main offensive threat Tuesday at Memphis.

Jokic compiled 27 points (9-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, four steals and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 113-106 win over the Pelicans.

Jokic struggled from beyond the arc but otherwise was absolutely sensational, amassing a season high in steals and contributing across every category. He continues to shoulder an even more substantial load than usual, and on both ends of the court, with Paul Millsap (knee), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Mason Plumlee (foot) all sidelined, and Jokic is among the elite options in all formats.

Jokic amassed 19 points (8-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to the Rockets.

Jokic struggled from the field and committed six turnovers but produced his eighth triple-double through 44 games this season. While his numbers have dipped a bit compared to last year, including his scoring, assist and rebounding averages, Jokic is actually on pace to eclipse his previous record of 12 triple-doubles, which he accomplished across 80 games in 2018-19.

Jokic had 17 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3PT, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, and five assists in Monday's win over Minnesota.

Jokic committed five turnovers and missed all three of his three-point attempts, but he was still an effective offensive hub, handing out five assists in his 34 minutes of action. He took only 15 shots Monday, but he could be relied upon more in the short term if Gary Harris, Jamal Murray and/or Paul Millsap continue to miss time.

Jokic amassed 30 points (10-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Pacers.

Jokic was extremely efficient as a scorer while doing his usual damage on the glass. He finished a couple dimes under his average, but he did swipe at least three steals for the fifth time through 42 appearances. Moreover, Jokic has picked it up after a slow start to 2019-20, gradually getting better month by month.

Jokic had 23 points (10-20 FG, 0-3 3PT, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks in 44 minutes during Thursday's 134-131 win at Golden State.

Jokic has been scorching hot since the calendar flipped to the new year, as the Serbian big man is currently averaging 23.8 points -- on 54.4 percent from the field -- to go along with 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game during January. Jokic also has four double-doubles in eight games during that span, and he will try to extend this sizzling run of form Sunday at home against the Pacers.

Jokic posted 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 31 minutes Sunday in the Nuggets' 114-104 win over the Clippers.

The blocks remain scarce for Jokic, who has only two rejections over his last 11 games, but the center has otherwise lived up to draft-day expectations after a relative lull to begin the season. Over six January appearances, Jokic is averaging 25.8 points, 9.7 boards, 4.5 assists and 2.3 triples while shooting 55.2 percent from the floor and 76.1 percent from the free-throw line.

Jokic had 19 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3PT, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss against the Cavaliers.

Jokic has two double-doubles over his last four games, and he has been filling the stat sheet admirably over that span with averages of 28.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game during that four-game stretch. Jokic has also topped the 20-point mark four times in his last six outings, and he recovered his role as Denver's go-to guy on offense despite an early-season slump during most of November and early December.

Jokic generated 33 points (12-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven assists, six rebounds, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 win over the Mavericks.

Jokic was absolutely superb, delivering a well-rounded and efficient stat line and going to work in the post on the team's final offensive possession. He has been looking for his own shot a bit more of late, and that continued in this one with Will Barton (personal) and Paul Millsap (knee) sidelined. Overall Jokic seems to be rebounding quite nicely after a slow start to 2019-20.
