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.

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.

Huff has reached double figures in five straight, with Monday’s point total being his highest since November 19 (season-high 20 vs. Charlotte). He’s been the starting center the last three games, with Isaiah Jackson (6/3/0/1/2 in 16 minutes) being pushed to the bench. While iJax is the Pacers’ former first-round pick, Huff has been more consistently productive, and he’s received more opportunities as a result.

Nembhard surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time in five games on Monday. In fact, after scoring 32 points in the Pacers’ November 21 loss to Cleveland, he shot 11-of-34 from the field in the following three games. Before the season, Nembhard was a player whom many fantasy managers believed could safely provide top-100 value. Unfortunately, an early-season injury put him on the shelf for a few weeks, stunting his progress.

With the Cavaliers regaining control of Monday’s game early in the fourth quarter, Siakam lost out on a few minutes due to Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle pulling the plug. Given how many games the Pacers have lost, this has to be a frustrating season for Siakam and, by extension, those who have him on their fantasy rosters. Having entered the season with a third-round Yahoo! ADP, he’s ranked outside the top-75 in eight- and nine-cat formats. And with Indiana being 4-17, buying low comes with the risk of “Spicy P” being shut down later in the season, as the Pacers regained control of their 2026 first-round pick via a June trade with the Pelicans.

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.

After playing 20 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Bulls, Walker is back in the Pacers’ starting lineup. He replaces Ben Sheppard, who will play rotation minutes off the bench. Walker offers a higher fantasy ceiling than Sheppard, but inconsistent offensive production has been an issue for the former lottery pick.

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.

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.

Jackson was bumped to the bench for Friday’s game, and he wasn’t effective in that role. However, he was able to make a large impact in this one. Both Pacers bigs had success, as Jay Huff, who started at center, contributed 14 points, four blocks and four triples. Chicago allows a lot of paint points, so this was a favorable matchup, but it was still good to see both centers turn in strong stat lines. However, this is likely a one-time thing and not the start of a productive run for both.

Following a one-game absence with a quad injury, Nembhard was back to take on Chicago. He immediately returned to the starting unit, which pushed Jarace Walker to the bench and limited him to 20 minutes. As expected, Nembhard is averaging career highs in points, assists and three-pointers with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out for the season. This wasn’t a standout game, but it was good to see him log 32 minutes after an absence.

For the first time this season, the Pacers have a winning streak. Siakam scored 24 points in consecutive games, which resulted in back-to-back wins. Friday’s game was a blowout, but this one ended with Siakam hitting a contested mid-range shot with .1 seconds remaining. It was a fantastic shot to close out an exciting game, and Siakam continues to cook. He has scored at least 20 points in seven of their last eight games, and he has two steals in four straight.

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.

Nembhard is back after sitting out Friday’s win over the Wizards. However, it is Jarace Walker who will head to the bench, with Sheppard remaining with the starters. The matchup was likely a factor, as the Bulls are starting three guards. Sheppard has not been a great streaming option this season, but sticking with the starters should benefit him.

Nembhard will be good to go after a one-game absence against Washington on Friday. Ben Sheppard started in his place, but he’ll head back to the bench with Nembhard back. T.J. McConnell should still fill out the backup point guard minutes, so he shouldn’t be impacted much.

Brown had three points in 19 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs. The 29-year-old shooting guard’s status is up in the air for Saturday’s game against the Suns given his questionable listing. Brown isn’t worth rostering in most formats regardless of his availability.

Jokić missed a triple-double by one rebound against the Spurs on Friday night. The 30-year-old center’s status is up in the air against the Suns on Saturday given his questionable listing. If Jokić is out, Jonas Valanciunas will start for the Nuggets and is worth streaming.

Nembhard missed Friday’s game against the Wizards with a quad contusion. Ben Sheppard moved into the starting lineup in his absence, but T.J. McConnell out-produced him with 14 points and eight assists in 19 minutes. Expect a similar setup for the Pacers if Nembhard is ruled out again.

While the absences of Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon have to be considered, Johnson appears to be getting more comfortable with his new teammates. He’s hit double figures in three straight and five of his last six appearances, with Friday’s being the best of the bunch. Johnson has provided top-50 value over the past two weeks. He’s still rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and those who didn’t give up on Johnson are being rewarded for their patience.

Jović finished one assist shy of a triple-double, but he had a solid night shooting the basketball. He remains the highest-ranked player in fantasy basketball, but that isn’t a surprise to anyone. Jokić and the Nuggets will look to bounce back on Saturday when they visit the Suns.

Murray has been on a roll recently, having scored at least 23 points in four straight and six of his last seven games. The 37 points were six shy of his season-high, and the Nuggets guard put up those points on 65 percent shooting from the field. Over the past two weeks, Murray has been a top-20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. He’ll look to finish Week 6 on a high note when the Nuggets visit the Suns on Saturday.

Mathurin started the season by scoring at least 20 points in five straight games. He followed that up with 14 and 15 points on sub-40 percent shooting over Indiana’s previous two games before getting back on track in this one. Mathurin had high expectations entering this season with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) sidelined, and he should be able to supply plenty of buckets for the remainder of the year.

After scoring a season-low 11 points on Wednesday, Siakam got back on track in this one to help lead Indiana to a lopsided victory. He has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven games, and he continues to shoot the ball efficiently. Through their first nine games, he shot at least 50 percent from the floor just once; over their last nine games, he has shot below 50 percent just twice. This was also his first double-double since October, which was enough to help the Pacers get their third win of the year.

McConnell didn’t get the starting nod with Andrew Nembhard (quad) sidelined, but he was still able to make a strong contribution off the bench. He led the team in assists and scored in double figures for a fifth straight game. He is rostered in just 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues but has provided fifth-round value during this stretch. If Nembhard remains out against the Bulls on Saturday, McConnell should see a nice boost in value once again, especially if the game is closer.

Sheppard and Huff will enter the starting unit in place of Andrew Nembhard (quad) and Isaiah Jackson. Sheppard will get the nod instead of T.J.

Nembhard will miss the first leg of this back-to-back, which will open up the starting spot at point guard. T.J. McConnell should slide into the role, which will make him a high-priority option as long as Nembhard is unavailable. Ben Sheppard may also pick up a few extra minutes.

Nembhard is dealing with a right quad contusion, and Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Pacers. If he’s unable to play, T.J.

After scoring 21 points in Monday’s loss to the Pistons, Walker had another solid performance on Wednesday. He recorded a complete stat line and reached double figures in points for the second consecutive game for the third time this season. Rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues, Walker doesn’t offer much value due to his inconsistent production. Hopefully, the last two games serve as a catalyst for the third-year forward.

After scoring at least 21 points in his first three games back from injury, Mathurin’s production has slowed down over the last two. Against the Pistons and Raptors, he totaled 29 points on 8-of-28 shooting from the field. While most players would be able to point to three-point shooting as the reason for their woes, that has not been the case for Mathurin, who has gone 3-of-15 (20 percent) from two over this two-game stretch. However, Friday’s game against the Wizards could be the slump-buster for Mathurin, given Washington’s poor defense.

Despite coming off the bench, McConnell can still be of value to fantasy managers, especially those competing in deeper leagues. The points, rebounds and assists were solid on Wednesday, and he’s ranked just outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. McConnell is worth rostering in deeper leagues, especially while the Pacers are willing to play their veterans in a season that has already gone off the rails.
