Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (arm) is available for Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. He has a right arm bruise, although it will take more than that to keep him off the floor. The multi-time MVP has averaged 19.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in 30 games versus Utah throughout his career. While Jokic is a must-start in all fantasy formats, his matchup against Walker Kessler (foot), who will return from a four-game absence, isn't ideal for anyone.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (arm) is expected to play against the Utah Jazz on Saturday despite having an injury designation going into the game. Fantasy managers can expect him to take on his usual workload against the Jazz. In his most recent game against the Celtics, Jokic finished with his 20th triple-double of the season and 125th of his career. He scored 32 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, provided 11 assists, and secured two steals while shooting 11-for-19 from the floor and a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic worked his magic again in a 115-109 win over the East-leading Boston Celtics on Thursday night. The two-time MVP finished with his 20th triple-double of the season and 125th of his career. He registered 32 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, and two steals while shooting 11-for-19 from the floor and a perfect 10-for-10 from the charity stripe. Jokic and company continue to have the Celtics' number despite this Boston team beating up on almost all of their competition. Jokic remains a top-two fantasy asset in the NBA and can carry fantasy teams to the promised land of a championship. Their next game will be against the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It looks like Caldwell-Pope is back in the mix after sitting out of Saturday's game due to personal reasons. Christian Braun received the start in his place but didn't do much with the additional playing time. In fact, Justin Holiday actually outplayed him, but neither are reliable fantasy options with Caldwell-Pope back in action on Tuesday.
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 22-year-old will be the lone change to the starting five on Saturday. Fellow guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) will sit this game out which will give Braun an expanded role. Despite the extra minutes, Braun isn't an ideal streaming option for Saturday's slate. He hasn't been able to do much on the court lately with five points or less in three of his last four games.
