Saric recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT), five assists and four boards in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets. With Nikola Jokic (elbow) sidelined, Saric put together a well-rounded performance, matching his season-high assist total while he was at it. Since DeAndre Jordan, who got the spot start, struggled, there's a chance Saric could get the shoulder-tap if Jokic continues to miss time. His next opportunity to prove his worth comes Friday against the Heat.

Dario Saric Latest News
Solid outing off bench
Saric recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT), five assists and four boards in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets. With Nikola Jokic (elbow) sidelined, Saric put together a well-rounded performance, matching his season-high assist total while he was at it. Since DeAndre Jordan, who got the spot start, struggled, there's a chance Saric could get the shoulder-tap if Jokic continues to miss time. His next opportunity to prove his worth comes Friday against the Heat.
Goes scoreless in spot start
Saric provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and one block across 17 minutes in Tuesday's 118-106 loss to the Celtics. With Nikola Jokic (illness) sitting out, Saric moved into his spot in the starting five in what was his first game action since Nov. 23. Saric had previously missed some time in December with a sprained ankle, but the 30-year-old wasn't viewed as a rotation player by that point in the season, with DeAndre Jordan having taking control of the backup center job. Moving forward, Saric's opportunities are likely going to be limited to games in which Jokic is out, as Saric is more capable of replicating Jokic's passing and floor-spacing ability than the other reserve centers on the roster (Jordan, Zeke Nnaji and PJ Hall). If Jokic is able to move past the illness ahead of Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Saric will likely move from the starting lineup to back outside of the rotation.
Starting sans Jokic
Saric will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Celtics. The 30-year-old center will enter the starting five with Nikola Jokic (illness) sidelined for Tuesday's marquee matchup. Saric hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Nov. 23, and he has averaged 3.4 points and 3.5 rebounds across 13.6 minutes per game in 10 regular-season appearances (three starts).
Cleared Monday
Saric (ankle) is available to face the Suns on Monday. Saric missed five games with a sprained left ankle before being a healthy scratch Sunday. He'll be available once again Monday, but he isn't guaranteed to see the floor.
Probable against Suns
Saric (ankle) is probable against the Suns on Monday. Saric was available to play Sunday against the Pelicans, but he never saw the floor after a lengthy injury absence. He last appeared in a game Nov. 23. If he suits up Monday, he'll likely have a limited role at best.
Available Sunday against NOLA
Saric (ankle) is available to play against the Pelicans on Sunday. Saric has missed the Nuggets' last 10 games, partially due to a left ankle sprain. He was initially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, but he will be available off Denver's bench, though he's unlikely to see much playing time behind Nikola Jokic, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji.
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.
