Saric

Saric’s absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as Nikola Jokic plays most of the available minutes at center. DeAndre Jordan will remain the backup center, but he is not worth streaming in this spot.

DeAndre Jordan will remain in the backup center role. He is not worth streaming in this spot since Nikola Jokic is healthy.

Saric’s continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, but it does leave Denver light on options in the frontcourt. DeAndre Jordan served as Nikola Jokic’s backup on Saturday but only played nine minutes in the loss to the Wizards. There’s no need to consider streaming the veteran backup in this spot.

Saric’s absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as he has been Nikola Jokic’s backup on most nights. DeAndre Jordan or Zeke Nnaji may pick up additional minutes, but neither should be rostered in fantasy leagues.

Murray’s availability has a far greater impact on the Nuggets and fantasy basketball. If he cannot play against the Wizards, Russell Westbrook would move into the starting lineup, giving his fantasy value a much-needed boost. Saric’s absence would not significantly impact fantasy basketball since he backs up Nikola Jokic.

Jokic has missed the team’s last three games after welcoming a newborn son on Thursday night. He’ll be back in his usual starting spot on the first night of a back-to-back, which will push Dario Saric back to the bench.

Jokic has missed their last three games, which has allowed Dario Saric to start in his place and for DeAndre Jordan to play a small role off the bench. However, if Jokic is back, both Saric and Jordan will lose the limited streaming value that they held.

Jokic has missed Denver’s last two games, with Dario Saric filling the void in the starting lineup. Saric will be worth a look in deep leagues if the reigning MVP does not play, but he isn’t a must-stream player.

Saric made another start for Nikola Jokic (personal) on Sunday, finishing the defeat with his first double-double of the season. He’s only rostered in one percent of Yahoo leagues, and there’s some deep-league value to be had if Jokic is not back with the Nuggets for Tuesday’s rematch with the Grizzlies.

Jokic rarely misses games and is set to miss a second consecutive contest for reasons unknown. The three-time MVP remains the most dominant player in fantasy basketball, though. Dario Saric will likely remain in a starting role for Sunday.
