Saric (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Pelicans on Sunday. Saric has struggled to see consistent minutes as the backup center behind Nikola Jokic, but his injury issues haven't helped him, either. He's missed the last five games with a sprained left ankle, and the doubtful tag suggests he's unlikely to suit up Sunday. If that's the case, then DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji should continue to see steady run in the frontcourt behind Jokic,

Dario Saric Latest News
Doubtful to play Sunday
Saric (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Pelicans on Sunday. Saric has struggled to see consistent minutes as the backup center behind Nikola Jokic, but his injury issues haven't helped him, either. He's missed the last five games with a sprained left ankle, and the doubtful tag suggests he's unlikely to suit up Sunday. If that's the case, then DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji should continue to see steady run in the frontcourt behind Jokic,
Idle Thursday
Saric (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game against Portland. Saric's absence streak extends to five games Thursday as he continues to tend to a sprained left ankle. Saric plays a minimal role when the Nuggets are at full health, so his absence shouldn't have any fantasy impact. His next chance to play will come Sunday at New Orleans -- the first leg of a back-to-back.
Still out
Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings. Saric will miss a fourth straight game due to a sprained left ankle. However, he'd fallen out of the rotation before the injury cropped up, so his absence hasn't impacted fantasy hoops.
Remains out for Friday
Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers. Saric will miss a third consecutive outing while he deals with a sprained left ankle. The big man has fallen out of the rotation as of late, and he was held out of five consecutive games due to coach's decision before picking up the ankle injury.
Now out Sunday
Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks. Saric will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury. However, he wasn't part of the rotation before landing on the injury report, drawing five straight DNPs due to coach's decision.
Iffy for Sunday
Saric (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks. Saric may miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury. However, he wasn't part of the rotation before landing on the injury report, drawing five straight DNPs due to coach's decision.
Out vs. Wizards
Saric (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards. Saric was a DNP-CD in his last five games, but now he misses Saturday's contest with an ankle injury. Regardless of whether he returns to hardwood for the second leg of this back-to-back set in Sunday's matchup against the Hawks, he's not going to see lots of minutes off the bench.
Iffy for Saturday vs. Washington
Saric (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards. Saric has fallen out of the rotation and is in jeopardy of missing a sixth consecutive matchup. The 30-year-old big man is dealing with a left ankle sprain, and he hasn't hit the double-digit mark in minutes since Nov. 19 (18 minutes).
Returns to bench
Saric won't start in Friday's game against the Mavericks. Saric will head to the bench following the return of Nikola Jokic. Saric is averaging 1.0 points and 1.6 rebounds per game in his five outings off the bench this season.
