• Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Vintage performance in win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Jokic closed Saturday's 141-135 overtime victory over New Orleans with 35 points (12-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and two steals over 44 minutes. Jokic turned things around after a slow start to the season, at least by his lofty standards, recording his first triple-double of the campaign. For good measure, he added four blocks, an unexpected yet welcome surprise for fantasy managers. There isn't much left to say when it comes to what Jokic can do on a basketball court. Those who invested in him with the first or second pick in drafts should feel at ease with their decision.

• Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Modest performance in loss

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Jokic contributed 13 points (5-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 96-84 loss to the Thunder. Jokic started the season with a mediocre performance, at least by his lofty standards. He still managed to chip in across all major categories, providing managers with a sense of reassurance. Up against the might of the Thunder, it's not a total surprise to see Jokic struggling, much like Victor Wembanyama did on opening night. Cristicism aside, another elite fantasy season seems inevitable, likely ending with a top-three finish in all formats.

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Jokic posted 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-0 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 31 minutes in Friday's 121-106 preseason win over the Lakers. Jokic delivered another highly efficient performance, missing just one of his eight field-goal attempts while leading the Nuggets in assists and ranking second in rebounds. The star center looks ready to roll ahead of the regular-season opener against the Thunder on Thursday, Oct. 22. Jokic remains the premier fantasy basketball option heading into the regular season, with his combination of scoring, rebounding and assists providing an exceptionally high floor.

• Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Settles for five points in loss

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Jokic logged five points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and a steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 122-110 preseason loss to the Clippers. Jokic had a quiet scoring night in a limited run, though he still led Denver in assists. It was a sharp drop from Monday's win over the Bulls, when he posted 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. The three-time MVP hasn't topped 26 minutes in four preseason appearances, so expect his workload to stay light until the games count.
