Nikola Jokic Returns To Action For Monday’s Game
3 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) will take the floor for Monday's contest against the Heat, stemming his absence from a right wrist sprain at four contests. The last time that Jokic and Miami met, the reigning MVP was ejected after a hard foul on Markieff Morris, one which earned him a one-game suspension. Prior to his night ending early, Jokic had notched a triple-double, which bodes well for those playing DFS contests Monday, even as his price tag remains gaudy. With Michael Porter Jr. (back) joining Jamal Murray (knee) on the sidelines for the near future, Jokic stands to have an even larger offensive role than what he has reprised for much of the past two years.

Nikola Jokic Questionable For Meeting With Lakers
11 hours agoDenver 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.

Nikola Jokic Out Against Warriors
2 days agoDenver 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.

Nikola Jokic May Sit Out Meeting With Warriors
3 days agoDenver 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.

Nikola Jokic Cleared To Suit Up Versus The Wizards
4 days agoDenver 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.
