Dario Saric

Jokic will miss a third straight contest due to personal reasons. There have been no reports about a potential return date for the big man. Dario Saric will continue to fill in at center in the meantime. He posted a double-double against the Grizzlies in his last outing.

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.

Jokic did not play in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, leading to Dario Saric moving into the starting lineup. Saric will get another start if the three-time MVP remains sidelined, and he's worth streaming in deep leagues.
