Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic registered 19 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, a steal and a three-pointer across 38 minutes as Serbia defeated Germany in the Bronze Medal game on Saturday.

Jokic and Serbia got revenge in the rematch of last year’s FIBA World Cup championship game, as he delivered the fifth triple-double in Olympic basketball history. Four other players chipped in at least 10 points in Serbia’s well-rounded effort, including Bogdan Bogdanovic (16 points, three triples) and Vasilije Micic (19 points, two triples).
DaRon Holmes II

DEN Power Forward

According to Tony Jones of The Athletic, the Nuggets have received a disabled player exception from the NBA.

The exception, worth an estimated $1.53 million, is related to the Achilles tendon tear suffered by first-round pick DaRon Holmes II at the NBA 2K25 Summer League in July. At the time of the injury, it was reported that he was “unlikely” to play this season. The exception makes that official, and Holmes should only be considered in dynasty drafts as a player to stash for the future. As for the financial implications of the exception, Denver would still have to free up a roster spot to use it to add a player to the roster.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic recorded a line of 17 points (7-of-17 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, and one blocked shot in 38 minutes in Thursday’s 95-91 loss to the United States.

If there has been one issue for Jokic at the Paris Olympics, it has been his struggles from beyond the arc. He missed all six attempts on Thursday and is now shooting 12.5% through five games. This is notable in connection to the Joker’s fantasy value, as his 3-point shooting dipped by nearly three percentage points last season. With Denver losing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in free agency, Jokic’s assists numbers could take a hit, especially if young players like Christian Braun and Julian Strawther don’t step up. He should remain in the conversation for pick 1.1 in fantasy drafts, but the scales have tipped in favor of Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama in the eyes of many.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic finished Tuesday’s 95-90 win over Australia with 21 points (9-of-17 FG), 14 rebounds, eight assists, four steals and a block across 39 minutes.

Joker led his team to a big quarterfinal victory over Australia, and his team will move on to face the winner of United States-Brazil. Serbia is 3-1 in Olympic play, with the only loss coming at the hands of the U.S. team.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic amassed 22 points (7-of-9 FGs, 7-of-12 FTs), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 27 minutes in Saturday’s 96-85 win over South Sudan.

The three-time NBA Most Valuable Player did what needed to be done on Saturday, recording another double-double to advance Serbia into the quarterfinals. South Sudan’s game plan was to make things difficult for Jokic, but the result was him doing his usual handiwork and Bogdan Bogdanovic going off for 30 points. Regarding fantasy value, the lone question for the Joker is whether he’ll remain 1.1 in drafts or cede that spot to Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic totaled 14 points (5-of-7 FGs) with 15 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block against Puerto Rico.

The NBA’s reigning MVP bounced back in a big way after losing to the United States. He affected all aspects of the game in a well-rounded performance. He’ll look to keep it up in Serbia’s next matchup against South Sudan.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic finished Sunday’s 110-84 loss to Team USA with 20 points, five boards, eight dimes, four steals and a triple.

Jokic was 8-of-15 from the floor but struggled with the long ball, as he knocked down only 1-of-6 triples. The big man led his team in points, dimes and swipes, which will likely be the case for Serbia’s remaining games in the Olympics.
Russell Westbrook

DEN Point Guard #0

Russell Westbrook has agreed to a two-year, $6.8 million deal with Denver, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Westbrook’s agreement is now official over a week after he was traded to Utah with the expectation that he would eventually join the Nuggets. Russ will look to help bolster Denver’s bench unit after they ranked 25th in bench points per game last season.
PJ Hall

DEN Power Forward

PJ Hall recorded a double-double on Thursday with 10 points (4-of-12 FGs), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks against Indiana.

The undrafted rookie out of Clemson agreed to a two-way deal with Denver on draft night, and he has had a decent summer so far. This was his best performance, though he didn’t have a great shooting night. Hall will likely spend most of his rookie season in the G-League, though the 22-year-old big should be prepared for rotation minutes if there are injuries in front of him this upcoming season.
Trey Alexander

DEN Shooting Guard

Trey Alexander posted a full line on Thursday with 19 points (5-of-13 FGS), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two triples against the Pacers.

Alexnder may have gone undrafted, but that shouldn’t scare dynasty managers. He quickly agreed to a two-way deal with Denver after the draft, which likely means that there was an agreement in place during the draft, and his camp told teams not to draft him. Regardless, this is the situation that he chose to be in, and the team clearly values him. If he continues to play this well, he shouldn’t have any issues establishing a spot in the team’s rotation.
