Saric will likely miss another game, which will not significantly impact fantasy basketball. DeAndre Jordan will continue to serve as Nikola Jokic’s backup, and there’s no need to consider streaming the veteran center.

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.

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’s absence will mean increased playmaking responsibilities for Jamal Murray and Russell Westbrook. Zeke Nnaji and Deandre Jordan will presumably handle center duties, but it’s unclear who will start and see the most court time.

Jordan will continue backing up Nikola Jokic next season. The Nuggets big man played sparingly last season, but was often his team’s preferred reserve center. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect much production from him, as no center offers more fantasy value than Jokic.

They haven’t officially been cleared, but both Jokic and MPJ should be good to go for this game. With Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon out, both MPJ and Jokic should take on even larger roles offensively, which should lead to some big statlines.

Both guys sat out Saturday against the Trail Blazers, and there’s a chance they miss a second straight. There’s no indication that either injury is particularly serious, but given the easy matchup, it’s possible the Nuggets are being cautious with their two best players in anticipation of another deep playoff run. DeAndre Jordan, Peyton Watson and Reggie Jackson are all names to remember when considering streaming options for Monday.

Jordan only played 20 minutes as Nikola Jokic’s replacement in the starting lineup, but the veteran center was effective. Only Collin Gillespie (+13) finished with a higher plus/minus than Jordan (+10), and he recorded a full stat line outside of 3-pointers. The production was solid for the few fantasy managers who gambled on Jordan as a streamer. Unless Jokic misses more than one game, with the Nuggets returning to action on Monday, there’s no need to add Jordan in the aftermath of this performance.
