Nikola Jokic Misses Third Straight Game

Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets' star center and three-time MVP, has missed his third consecutive game due to personal reasons, leaving his availability for Friday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks uncertain. Head coach Michael Malone has provided no updates on Jokic's return, stating, 'I have no idea about Friday.' The Nuggets have struggled in Jokic's absence, losing their last two games and facing difficulties such as high turnover rates and poor rebounding against opponents. Additionally, the Nuggets are also without forward Aaron Gordon, further impacting their performance. As the team prepares for their next game, they will need to adapt their play style and increase physicality without their key player. Fantasy managers are advised to consider Jokic questionable for the upcoming game against Dallas.
