Jokić continues to play through the wrist injury, but it hasn’t impacted his production. It also isn’t expected to keep him out against Indiana. He had a 29/20/13 line on Monday and should be in for another big night.

Murray exited early on Monday, and there is a chance he remains out against Indiana. In Murray’s lone absence this year, which ironically came against the Pacers, Jalen Pickett started at point guard and played 17 minutes. He may get the nod, but Bruce Brown would be the better replacement for fantasy managers.

There’s some good news on two fronts regarding Ball’s appearance on Charlotte’s most recent injury report. It’s his left (non-shooting) wrist that is currently sore, and the point guard’s ankle is not cited as a reason for the appearance, either. If Ball can’t play on Wednesday, Collin Sexton will return to the starting lineup.

Mann will miss a second straight game with a left ankle impingement. His absence should once again result in more playing time for Collin Sexton and Liam McNeeley. While McNeeley could have value later in the season, Sexton is a worthwhile option in deeper leagues currently.

Miller was held out of Monday’s loss to the Nets due to what the Hornets described as left shoulder soreness. Ahead of Wednesday, the injury is now listed as a left shoulder subluxation, which cost him 13 games earlier this season. Miller may be considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers should plan for the possibility of him being out for an extended period. Sion James should continue to start until Miller returns.

Jones bested his career-high 16-point performance against the Suns by scoring over 20 points for the first time on Monday. Efficient shooting throughout and high production from beyond the arc nearly led the second-year forward to the 30-point mark. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) out, Jones has seen more action than previously. He’ll likely remain in the starting unit for the time being, which should make him a potential streaming option for fantasy managers who may value three-point production.

Jokić entered Monday’s contest having come up just shy of a triple-double in each of the previous two games. He made sure to check that box against the Mavericks, to secure his 11th triple-double of the season. Yet, inefficient shooting left him unable to carry the Nuggets past the Anthony Davis-led Mavs, as Denver has dropped three of its last five games. The Nuggets, already without Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle), lost Jamal Murray on Monday to an ankle sprain. Given the injuries, Jokić may have to shoulder even more of the load in the near future.

Watson’s strong play continued on Monday. He scored in double figures for the fifth straight time and sixth time in the last seven games, giving him an average of 17.7 points over that period. The fourth-year wing is averaging double figures in points on the season for the first time in his career, and has enjoyed a strong first quarter of the season from an efficiency standpoint. His rebounding and assist numbers are also at career-bests — his nightly contributions will remain necessary so long as Christian Braun (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are sidelined.

Murray, who was initially considered questionable to return after spraining his right ankle, is now doubtful to return with the contest being well into the fourth quarter. Bruce Brown has been asked to fill the void at point guard, which also makes Nikola Jokić an even more valuable playmaker for others in addition to himself.

On Monday, Salaün saw his first NBA action since November 2, and he took advantage of the opportunity. The second-year forward was one of five Hornets reserves to score at least eight points on a night when three starters (Miles Bridges, Ryan Kalkbrenner and Sion James) combined to score 15. Salaün’s Monday night does not make him a player worth adding, but there may come a point later in the season when the Hornets prioritize his playing time for developmental reasons.

While Ball did not offer much scoring value, the 14 assists were a season-high. For the season, Ball is averaging 8.9 assists per game, more than a full assist more than his 2024-25 average (7.4). However, the inefficient shooting has negatively impacted Ball’s value. He’s shooting a career-low 37.8 percent from the field, and Monday’s 3-of-9 effort doesn’t help. Fantasy managers expect to take a hit in the turnover and field-goal percentage categories, but he’s been a safe bet to make at least 40 percent of his shots in the past. That has not been the case this season.

Over his last two games, Knueppel has shot 8-of-16 from beyond the arc. While fantasy managers in category leagues would like to see some defensive production from the rookie, he has been one of the most productive first-year players in the NBA this season. And over the past two weeks, Knueppel has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats. He continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (142) and has been one of the few bright spots for the Hornets this season.

Jokić will take the floor again, looking to continue his season-long dominance. For the second straight season, the former Finals MVP is averaging a triple-double and nearly 30.0 points per game, and is posting the best shooting splits of his career. He should be in for another strong performance on Monday, as the Nuggets face a struggling Mavericks team.

Brown is available after being listed as questionable initially. While Tim Hardaway Jr. will miss out on a bump in playing time, both players will be part of the Nuggets’ rotation. Brown will take on his usual reserve duties, and he hasn’t provided consistent fantasy value in that role this season.

With Brandon Miller sidelined due to left shoulder soreness, James will return to the starting lineup. The second-round rookie has played well, but that hasn’t led to much fantasy production. That will likely hold true in this game, especially with the rest of the starters healthy.

Mann has been a nice rotation piece for the Hornets, contributing 9.2 points per game off the bench. In his absence, Collin Sexton should be the primary guard off the bench for a Hornets team looking to put together a third straight win on Monday. Liam McNeeley may also see more minutes.

Absent from the Hornets’ initial injury report for Monday, Miller will not play due to left shoulder soreness. It’s the same shoulder that sidelined him for nearly a month, and he appeared to aggravate the injury during Saturday’s win over the Raptors. Sion James is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. While the rookie has had his moments, he is not someone who needs to be rostered in redraft leagues.

If Brown is unable to take the court, Tim Hardaway Jr. would be the player most likely to absorb his minutes off the bench. Hardaway Jr. already has some standalone value as a three-point specialist, but he could be worth streaming in standard leagues if Brown is ultimately ruled out.

It has been over two weeks since Strawther suited up, and there is no end in sight. Strawther’s role has been a minimal one this year, so his absence doesn’t impact Denver’s rotation much. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown will continue to fill out the wing minutes off the bench.

Jokić is still dealing with a wrist injury to his non-shooting hand, but that shouldn’t keep him out of the lineup against Dallas. He has fallen one rebound short of a triple-double in two straight games and will look to snap that streak to start out the week.

Mann has played in Charlotte’s last four games following a two-game absence with an injury to the same ankle. Collin Sexton and Sion James would likely take on a few extra minutes if Mann is unavailable.

Hardaway has played a consistent role off the bench for Denver this year, but this was one of his best performances. He matched his season high for points while also setting a new season high for three-pointers. THJ will continue to play an important role for the Nuggets, but his production will be too volatile for him to be considered a player worth rostering in standard leagues.

Jokić fell one rebound shy of a triple-double for a second straight game, but the difference in this one was that Denver walked away with a win. Jokić continues to dominate every single night, and he was perfect from the floor in this game. His lone missed shot attempt ended up coming at the free throw line. Denver has a four-game week coming up, so expect plenty more monster performances from Jokić.

Jones started for the fourth straight game, but he was unproductive in the first three. However, he set career highs for points, rebounds and three-pointers to help Denver bounce back from a loss 24 hours prior. Jones should continue to start, but this type of performance likely won’t happen often. It was nice to see him play well, but he should be left on the waiver wire.

With LaMelo Ball (14/2/5 with one three-pointer) struggling with foul trouble and under a minutes restriction, Sexton gave the Hornets valuable minutes off the bench. Shooting over 50 percent from the field, the veteran guard recorded a complete stat line and helped lead the way as Charlotte outscored Toronto by a 24-17 margin in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Sexton hasn’t been the most reliable fantasy option, but Ball’s injury history makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues.

After a stellar performance in Friday’s win over the Bulls, Miller played the second game of Charlotte’s home back-to-back. While the poor shooting was problematic, more concerning for fantasy managers was Miller exiting during the third quarter after appearing to aggravate his left shoulder injury. While he did return later in the quarter, the Hornets forward did not seem to be all that comfortable. The Hornets begin a four-game Week 7 in Brooklyn on Monday, but they won’t have any back-to-backs. Hopefully, Miller will be available for all four contests.

Bridges wasn’t too thrilled with the performances of either himself or his teammates in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. He’s backed up the words that followed that blowout loss with actions, totaling 57 points in wins over the Bulls and Raptors. Saturday’s 35 points were a season high for the athletic forward, who has four 30-point games to his name in 2025-26. Bridges and the Hornets play four games in Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday.

After totaling 18 points on 7-of-26 shooting in his previous two games, Knueppel got back on track Saturday night. The rookie has scored at least 20 points in ten of his 19 appearances, and that production has placed Knueppel among the best rookies in the NBA, if not at the top of that list. Given the recent injury issues for LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, Knueppel boasts a high ceiling in redraft leagues. The Hornets play four games during Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday.

Brown was questionable on the second leg of the back-to-back, but he’ll be available to suit up. He’ll play his typical role off the bench, which hasn’t resulted in much fantasy value from him this year.

Jokić will be good to go despite the initial questionable tag. The wrist injury isn’t on his shooting arm, so it shouldn’t prevent him from having a big night, especially with Phoenix playing this game without Mark Williams.
