RecapNikola Jokić posted a full line on Monday with 26 points (10-of-22 FGs), nine rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Trail Blazers.
Jokić simply hasn’t been as effective this season. It’s early, and he’ll turn it around, but he just hasn’t been the same player. However, that isn’t true in fantasy basketball. He has made up for a dip in points, rebounds, assists and field goal percentage with a bump in steals, blocks and free throw percentage. Frankly, none of that is sustainable. All of it will likely regulate, with Jokić still ending up as one of the best players in fantasy basketball. Just be patient. He’ll look to stuff the stat sheet against the Raptors on Wednesday.
