Denver 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.

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. The Dutch rookie has landed on the injury report with ankle soreness. Post has been a regular in the rotation lately, offering low-tier fantasy value. He has averaged 9.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.8 minutes since the All-Star break. If Post sits out Monday's game, the Warriors could use Kevon Looney more behind Draymond Green, although head coach Steve Kerr might also choose to utilize smaller lineups.


Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (back) has received a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The two-time MVP is dealing with a back issue, which may keep Curry sidelined for the first time since Jan. 28. If Curry isn't cleared to play, Buddy Hield would likely see an increase in playing time, while Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses Moody will be expected to contribute more on the offensive end.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (back) is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Saturday that Tuesday's matchup is "the target" for Podziemski's return. He has been listed as out for Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Podziemski, who will miss a fifth consecutive game on Monday, will eat into the minutes of Moses Moody, Buddy Hield, and Gary Payton II once he returns to the lineup.


Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (foot) is tagged as probable for Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. He continues to deal with inflammation in his left foot, but this hasn't yet kept Braun out of the lineup. His only absence this season came on Dec. 16. The 23-year-old has had a few quiet outings lately, but his overall numbers remain strong. Over eight March appearances, Braun has averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals. On Monday, Braun might be called upon to do even more, as Denver leaders Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) and Jamal Murray (ankle) could miss the action.
