Nikola Jokić DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his 19th career postseason triple-double in Monday's 105-102 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. He added three steals to his tally while shooting 8-for-16 from the field with a 4-for-8 effort from deep. Jokic had an extremely busy night and played the entire second half. Fatigue may have contributed to Jokic recording five of his seven turnovers after halftime, including three in the fourth quarter. Still, it was another hugely impressive performance from Jokic, who trails only Magic Johnson (30) and LeBron James (28) on the all-time postseason triple-doubles list.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against Golden State. After amassing a 61-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in the double-overtime win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday, the multi-time MVP didn't suit up the following night versus the San Antonio Spurs. DeAndre Jordan got the start, with the veteran finishing with 10 points, 17 rebounds, one block, and one steal. With that in mind, if Jokic is good to go on Friday, Jordan isn't worth starting in any fantasy format. The same can be said about Jalen Pickett and Hunter Tyson, even if Aaron Gordon (calf), Jamal Murray (hamstring), and Christian Braun (foot) aren't available.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After missing five games with an ankle issue, Jokic has played in each of Denver's last two games and looks likely to remain in the lineup for Tuesday's meeting with Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves. Gobert, a four-time Defensive Player of the Year, has managed to slow down Jokic a bit in 2024-25. In this season's previous three meetings with the Timberwolves, Jokic has averaged 26.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 9.3 assists.
