NBC SportsNikola Jokic led Denver with 34 points (13-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, eight assists, one steal and four 3-pointers in a 126-124 loss to the Trail Blazers on Thursday.

This wasn't a typical Jokic masterclass. Sure, he was still unstoppable as a scorer, and he scored 10 of his 34 in the fourth, which included a late layup to tie the game. However, he set a new season-low for rebounds and failed to record a double-double for just the fourth time this season. Managers shouldn't be worried, since he is still arguably the best player in fantasy basketball. They'll close out the week in New Orleans on Sunday before a four-game week after that. Jokic will have plenty of dominant nights during that stretch.

NBC SportsNikola Jokic had 20 points (8-of-19 FGs), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, three steals, one block and one 3-pointer against the Kings on Monday.

Ho-hum. At this point, a 20-point triple-double is merely lite work for the 29-year-old center. Jokic has won the MVP award three times already and will only fail to win it again due to voter fatigue. Even on a night where he only scored 20 points, the big man filled up the stat sheet in every other category. The Joker continues to be a fantasy beast.

NBC SportsCade Cunningham had 20 points (7-of-17 FGs), 11 rebounds, 18 assists and three 3-pointers in the Pistons' 125-124 overtime victory over the Heat on Monday.

Cunningham's 18 assists were a career-high and his triple-double was his sixth of the season. Only Nikola Jokic and LeBron James have more triple-doubles on the season. Cunningham continues to show that he's an All-Star this year. He'll continue to be the focal point of the Pistons offense as the year goes on.

NBC SportsJamal Murray, Russell Westbrook, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic will start Monday's game against the Kings.

With Christian Braun (back) sidelined, Westbrook will start alongside Murray. This should mean more time off the ball for Jamal, possibly resulting in a more productive night for him as a scorer. Julian Strawther will also have increased fantasy value, but he takes a hit remaining on the bench instead of replacing Braun.
