Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic finished with 20 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists in Sunday's postseason loss to OKC. The Thunder defense made defending Jokic a priority in Game 7. As a result, OKC managed to earn a decisive 32-point victory to earn a trip to the Western Conference Finals. Without question, it was a chaotic year in Denver, with the team firing head coach Michael Malone in April and replacing him with David Adelman. Still, Jokic had the best campaign of his career, averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.7 assists in 70 appearances. The Nuggets have some work to do to bolster the roster. However, no matter how the depth chart looks, Jokic should remain the top fantasy option heading into the 2025-26 season.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was back to his best in Tuesday's 112-105 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder, leading all scorers with 44 points while tallying 15 rebounds, five assists, and two steals. After shooting 33.3 percent from the field over the last three games, Jokic went 17-for-25 from the field (68 percent) and was on fire from downtown with a 5-for-7 effort. However, the Nuggets failed to capitalize on their leader's incredible performance, blowing a lead in the fourth quarter to fall 3-2 behind in the series. With the Nuggets now in survival mode, Jokic will be expected to put together another monster line in Game 6 on Thursday night.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had a rare off night in Game 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, tallying 17 points, eight rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block before fouling out in the third quarter of an embarrassing 149-106 loss. The Nuggets struggled right from the off, which was probably one of the reasons for Jokic's lackluster effort, and the team was trailing by over 40 points when he picked up his sixth foul late in the third frame. Jokic finished with 6-for-16 shooting from the field. The three-time MVP will surely come out with a different spirit in Game 3 on Friday as the Nuggets try to reclaim the series lead on their home court.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic looked like a man among boys in Monday's Game 1 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, putting up a game-high 42 points on 15-for-29 shooting and grabbing 22 rebounds. He also had six assists, one steal, and two blocks as the Nuggets shocked OKC with a 121-119 road win. Jokic, who finished 2-for-6 with the three-ball and went 10-for-13 at the charity stripe, became the fourth player in NBA postseason history to register 40-plus points, 20-plus rebounds, and five-plus assists in a game. Given his ability, this may not even turn out to be his only such effort in the series.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had 16 points in Saturday's series-clinching win over the Clippers. He added 10 boards, eight assists, three steals, and one block. The three-time MVP accumulated five fouls through the first three quarters, resulting in more time spent on the bench. However, with Denver building a decisive lead, Jokic wasn't needed much in the fourth quarter. With the Nuggets dispatching the Clippers in seven games, the team will hit the road for a meeting with OKC on Monday night to begin the Western Conference semi-finals. In four meetings with the Thunder this season, Jokic averaged 24.5 points, 15.8 rebounds, 11.5 dimes, 1.8 blocks, and 1.5 steals. He also shot 52.6% from the field, one of his worst averages against any club during the year.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his 19th career postseason triple-double in Monday's 105-102 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. He added three steals to his tally while shooting 8-for-16 from the field with a 4-for-8 effort from deep. Jokic had an extremely busy night and played the entire second half. Fatigue may have contributed to Jokic recording five of his seven turnovers after halftime, including three in the fourth quarter. Still, it was another hugely impressive performance from Jokic, who trails only Magic Johnson (30) and LeBron James (28) on the all-time postseason triple-doubles list.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against Golden State. After amassing a 61-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in the double-overtime win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday, the multi-time MVP didn't suit up the following night versus the San Antonio Spurs. DeAndre Jordan got the start, with the veteran finishing with 10 points, 17 rebounds, one block, and one steal. With that in mind, if Jokic is good to go on Friday, Jordan isn't worth starting in any fantasy format. The same can be said about Jalen Pickett and Hunter Tyson, even if Aaron Gordon (calf), Jamal Murray (hamstring), and Christian Braun (foot) aren't available.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After missing five games with an ankle issue, Jokic has played in each of Denver's last two games and looks likely to remain in the lineup for Tuesday's meeting with Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves. Gobert, a four-time Defensive Player of the Year, has managed to slow down Jokic a bit in 2024-25. In this season's previous three meetings with the Timberwolves, Jokic has averaged 26.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 9.3 assists.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will be back in action on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has upgraded his status a few times throughout the day and has now announced that Jokic is officially available. Jokic's return is great news for the Nuggets, but it's unfortunate for fantasy managers who were hoping for at least one more productive outing from DeAndre Jordan, who has started the last two games. The veteran big man could now be completely out of the rotation against the Bucks.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will likely remain on the shelf for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team lists him as doubtful on the injury report. This would mark his sixth consecutive absence due to an issue with his left ankle. DeAndre Jordan has started in the last two games Jokic has missed. The veteran has shown that he can still get the job done, averaging 10.5 points and 16.0 rebounds. However, Jordan may have a tougher time filling the stat sheet on Wednesday, as Milwaukee allows the fifth-fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.

As expected, Denver Nuggets centerNikola Jokic(ankle) will be out of action on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Jokic has been dealing with an ankle issue and will miss his fifth consecutive contest. The Nuggets start a five-game homestand tonight, and the big man will likely return soon. Fantasy managers can expect veteran center DeAndre Jordan to start versus the Bulls. He most recently posted 11 points, 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes of work in a 116-111 win over the Rockets on Sunday.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for his third game in a row on Friday and will watch the contest against the Portland Trail Blazers from the sidelines. The three-time MVP rarely misses games, but will now miss at least three of the team's four games this week. That comes as a huge blow to many fantasy managers who are either already in the playoffs or trying to get into the fantasy postseason. Peyton Watson joined the starting five in Jokic's place on Wednesday and registered 12 points, two rebounds, two assists, and one block. There is no direct replacement for Jokic, so fantasy managers will likely have to aim for quantity over quality with their streaming options.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) will remain sidelined on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA insider Chris Haynes has announced that Jokic will sit out the game alongside Jamal Murray (ankle). This will be the second consecutive absence for both players. As a result, Russell Westbrook, Aaron Gordon, and Michael Porter Jr. are expected to handle the majority of the offensive work. All three players will have additional fantasy value on Wednesday.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) may miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers, as he has been listed as questionable for the matchup. Jokic exited the lineup for only the sixth time this season when the Nuggets faced the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. Head coach Michael Malone went with a smaller lineup, bringing Hunter Tyson and Peyton Watson into the starting unit. With Jamal Murray (ankle) also out, Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) and Russell Westbrook ran the show. If the circumstances are the same, both players should excel against the Lakers again. Gordon is dealing with a couple of health issues as well but is expected to play.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) will not be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Serbian superstar will be absent for only the seventh time this season as he continues to deal with an elbow contusion and an ankle impingement. Zeke Nnaji's fantasy stock will receive a big boost with Jokic's absence, while the rest of the frontcourt is also expected to do significantly more to make up for Jokic's loss.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The three-time MVP has been dealing with elbow and ankle issues recently. However, he has previously had a probable designation on the injury report. Jokic last missed a game on Jan. 15 against the Houston Rockets, leading to DeAndre Jordan being promoted to the starting unit. If Jokic is absent again on Monday, Jordan might return to the rotation; however, Zeke Nnaji has recently moved ahead of him on the depth chart and is likely a better fantasy option.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) will play on Saturday versus the Wizards. He was back on the injury report because of his nagging elbow injury. However, it won't keep him off the floor against one of the worst teams in the NBA. The three-time MVP had 28 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, and one block in Friday's narrow win over the Lakers. Of course, Jokic is a must-start in redraft formats. But if this one gets out of hand, Jokic could spend more time on the bench, meaning DFS managers are taking a small gamble by including him in their lineups.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) will be on the court in Friday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers. The three-time MVP will remain in the lineup despite dealing with a couple of health issues. He had a probable tag on the initial injury report. It remains to be seen if he will also play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the miserable Washington Wizards. On Friday, Jokic has a chance to record his third streak of the season with 30-plus points in at least three consecutive games.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man has been dealing with multiple nagging injuries, but Jokic has continued to play through the issues. It doesn't seem to be impacting him on the court considering he's averaging nearly 30 points and 15 rebounds over his last five games. The three-time MVP is nearly unstoppable when he's on the court and isn't going to let a few minor injuries hold him back.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) will play Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Denver's star man is currently a bit banged up, dealing with elbow and ankle issues, but the team has upgraded Jokic from probable to available. Jokic has posted five double-doubles in his past nine outings and is averaging 26.4 points, 16.2 rebounds, and 10.8 assists this month. He looks primed for another big stat line in Wednesday's game.
