Nikola Jokić DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist) will play on Tuesday versus the Spurs. He has frequently appeared on the injury report over the last week or so. However, Jokic only missed one game during that span, so most had anticipated he'd be out there. With that said, the multi-time MVP has averaged 35 points, nine boards, and seven assists in two games against San Antonio this season, making him an ideal option for all DFS lineups.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist) is probable ahead of Monday's clash with the Spurs. The multi-time MVP has routinely appeared on the injury report over the last few weeks. However, he only missed one game during that span. As usual, Jokic has had an excellent year. But considering he's averaged 35 points in two meetings with the Spurs this season, he's a lock for DFS contests for those willing to deal with his hefty rostering cost.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist, hip) has been upgraded from a probable status to available ahead of Sunday's matchup against Cleveland. The former MVP has missed only a handful of games all season and is ready to lead the charge again on Sunday, with Jamal Murray (knee) remaining on the shelf. Facing Cleveland's twin towers of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley won't be easy, but Jokic very rarely disappoints fantasy managers and has posted outstanding numbers at both ends of the floor lately.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist, hip) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the visiting Cavaliers. The multi-time MVP has been burdened by several ailments over the last week or two. However, it would be tough to tell, considering he amassed 32 points, 10 boards, five assists, two steals, and one block in 37 minutes in Friday's loss to Minnesota. Denver has a chance to claim the top spot in the Western Conference for the postseason, so Jokic should be on the floor on Sunday. But if he's not, DeAndre Jordan would see more than enough interest from DFS participants.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back/hip) is listed as probable heading into Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The two-time MVP is dealing with hip and back inflammation, but he has played the last two games after sitting out one. Jokic is favored to win another MVP this season, and the Nuggets are fighting for home-court advantage in the Western Conference to make his playing status more important. Stats come easy to Jokic to make his health a significant variable for fantasy teams if he plays his usual minutes. Jokic missing games sees Aaron Gordon, DeAndre Jordan, and Peyton Watson increase their value, but he should suit up Friday in an important game for postseason seeding.
