While the three-time NBA Most Valuable Player has begun to do some spot shooting, he’s still considered to be “weeks away” from a return. In his report, Charania mentioned the end of January as a potential return window for the center. Until then, the Nuggets will continue to rely on DaRon Holmes II and Zeke Nnaji to fill the void at the five.

Jokić’s injury is devastating for fantasy managers, as the No. 1 player in fantasy hoops was on an incredible tear. The silver lining is that he avoided a more serious injury, but his absence will cause a monumental hole in Denver’s lineup. Jonas Valančiūnas should get the nod as starting center, but he won’t be able to replicate Joker’s elite playmaking abilities. Jamal Murray should pick up the slack as a facilitator and scorer, while guys like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown should be leaned on more as well. All three of Valančiūnas, THJ and Brown are worth picking up, though it’s still unclear what Denver will look like without its three-time MVP.

After hyperextending his left knee late in the second quarter of Monday’s game, Jokić has officially been ruled out. While it’s unlikely to be another update from the team before the center is further examined by team doctors, an extended absence would have a seismic impact on the Nuggets’ rotation and fantasy basketball. Jonas Valančiūnas entered the lineup to begin the third quarter, and he would be the replacement in the starting five if Jokić misses time. The three-time MVP finished with 21 points, five rebounds, eight assists and one three-pointer in 19 minutes.

On the heels of a historic 56-point, 16-rebound, 15-assist triple-double earlier this week against the Timberwolves, Jokić finished the first half just three assists shy of a triple-double and accomplished the feat by the end of the third quarter. The 30-year-old generational talent reached the 30-point plateau for the 13th time with a floater in the final two minutes. He sank a pair of free throws in the final seconds to put Denver ahead momentarily in the back-and-forth affair. Jokić leads the NBA in rebounds (12.4) and assists (11.1) and ranks fifth in scoring (29.9) through 31 games. Unreal. The Nuggets are back in action on Monday when they open a four-game week on the road against the Heat.

The stars shine bright on Christmas Day, so it shouldn’t be surprising that Jokić got off to a dominant start to this game. He finished the first quarter with 18 points, five rebounds and four assists, which led to him making history by the end of the night. He became the first player in NBA history to finish with at least 55 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a game. 18 of his points came in the extra frame to secure the win on Christmas Day. Jokić has once again been the best player in fantasy basketball, but even he won’t be able to replicate this performance. This was otherworldly.

Jokić didn’t get enough rebounds for a second straight double-double, but he was still able to supply his typical monster statistical impact. He had a chance to get to 15 assists by kicking the ball out to Peyton Watson in the corner in the closing seconds of the game, but his three-point attempt rimmed out. Still, it was another dominant performance from Jokić, and he’ll look to keep it going against the Timberwolves on Christmas Day.

Jokić only played 29 minutes and sat out the entire fourth quarter with the Nuggets blowing out the Jazz Monday night. The 30-year-old center still managed to record a triple-double, though he only attempted seven field goals and had one his lower scoring games with 14 points. The three-time MVP will be back in action Tuesday against the Mavericks.

Jokić extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to ten on Saturday, but this performance was a departure from the norm for the three-time MVP. Houston was able to limit The Joker’s influence as a playmaker, with the five assists being the fewest in a game for him this season. Saturday’s game was the third this season in which Jokić failed to record at least a double-double, and it was Denver’s first defeat in that scenario. The Nuggets begin a four-game Week 10 on Monday against the Jazz.

Not only did Jokić record his 13th triple-double of the season and 177th of his career, but he made some history in Thursday’s victory. The Nuggets center is now the NBA’s all-time leader in assists by a center, having passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during Thursday’s win. Whether you’re talking eight- or nine-cat formats, Jokić remains the best player in fantasy basketball. Denver ends Week 9 with a home game against the Rockets on Saturday.

Jokić wasn’t around for the end of Monday’s thriller, as he fouled out with 1:23 remaining in overtime. However, the Nuggets were able to get over the finish line, and the three-time MVP finished with a robust stat line. The top-ranked player in fantasy basketball, Jokić has scored at least 30 points in four of his 12 triple-doubles this season. The Nuggets return to action on Thursday when they host the Magic.

Jokić was well on his way to a 12th triple-double of the season, but the nature of Thursday’s game got in the way. Denver held a 28-point lead at the end of the third quarter, so there was no need for the three-time MVP to go back into the game. So, Jokić managers will have to settle for his 22nd double-double and tenth game of the season with at least 30 points. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, the Nuggets don’t play again until Monday night against the Rockets.

Jokić fell one rebound shy of a triple-double, but fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the final line that he produced in Charlotte. The Nuggets center remains the best player in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. And the break in the schedule due to the NBA Cup should do Jokić some good, as the Nuggets don’t play again until Thursday against the Kings. With Domantas Sabonis (knee) sidelined, that stands to be another big night for The Joker.

It was a tale of two halves for Jokić. He struggled mightily in the first half of this game and entered the break with 10 points on 2-of-13 shooting, but he came out firing to start the third quarter. He had 19 points without missing a shot in the third, which brought Denver within striking distance, and then he added 11 more to complete the comeback. Jokić failed to record a double-double for just the second time this season, but it was certainly a masterclass performance.

Jokić rarely takes a backseat to anyone, but his teammate Jamal Murray scored 52 points against the Pacers on Wednesday. The 30-year-old center was still just two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Jokić will have two more chances at a triple-double this period with weekend matchups against the Hawks and the Hornets.

No surprise here as Jokić was initially listed as probable with a wrist injury. The 30-year-old center continues to play through a wrist injury, though that didn’t stop him from recording his 11th triple-double of the season against the Mavericks on Monday. Jokić is in line for another big game against the Pacers on Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For just the second time this season, Jokić failed to score at least 20 points. However, it didn’t matter all that much, as Jamal Murray and Peyton Watson combined to score 56 points. The Joker did record his 10th triple-double of the season, with the 16 assists matching his previous high. And with Jokić scoring 17 points, keep in mind that he only attempted nine shots, so the field-goal percentage didn’t take a beating. The Nuggets end Week 6 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the Spurs and Suns.

Unfortunately for Denver, the three-time league MVP’s efforts weren’t enough to help the team avoid defeat. Jokić finished with his 15th double-double of the season, and the 44 points were the second-most in a game for him this season. The Nuggets play three games in Week 6, starting with the Grizzlies on Monday.

The 30-year-old center’s triple-double was his third in a row and ninth of the season. Jokić remains on top of the fantasy basketball world.
