Nikola Jokić DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar big man has been dealing with an ankle issue, but it doesn't sound serious enough to hold him out of action. He played through the issue on Wednesday and recorded his fourth double-double in a row. Fantasy managers should feel safe about getting Jokic back into their lineups on Friday. Jokic is having an MVP-type season and won't let an ankle issue slow him down.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar big man has been playing through an ankle issue lately. Despite that, Jokic has still registered a double-double in four straight games. It doesn't seem that the ankle issue is impacting Jokic on the court, but maybe the Nuggets will take the cautious approach on Friday. If they do, Zeke Nnaji (ankle) and DeAndre Jordan figure to see more run in the rotation.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's meeting with the Kings. The multi-time MVP popped up on the injury report because of ankle inflammation. Fortunately, fantasy managers will get to utilize his services versus a Sacramento team that is down Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) and Malik Monk (toe). Jokic has averaged 27.5 points, 18.0 rebounds, 15.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks in two contests against the Kings in 2024-25. But Jokic should have an even easier time finding the bottom of the basket against Jonas Valanciunas.
