Out against Chicago

Jokic (ankle) will not play Monday against the Bulls. As expected, Jokic will be sidelined for a fifth straight contest. Head coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Jokic is expected to return at some point during Denver's homestand, however, putting a possible return against the Bucks on Wednesday on the table. DeAndre Jordan could draw another start after a strong showing versus Houston on Sunday.
Unlikely against Chicago

Head coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but he will play at some point during the team's five-game homestand, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports. Jokic has missed the last four games due to a left ankle issue, but he will be returning to the lineup at some point during the team's homestand, which begins Monday against the Bulls and concludes April 2 against San Antonio. Coach Malone's comments make it seem unlikely that Jokic will suit up Monday, so he could be aiming for a return Wednesday against the Bucks. In the meantime, Jamal Murray will likely carry the load offensively, with Aaron Gordon also getting extra looks, and DeAndre Jordan figures to continue seeing increased run at the center position.
Remains out for Sunday

Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets. Jokic will miss a fourth straight game for the Nuggets while nursing a left ankle issue. With the superstar big man still on the mend, Denver will likely continue to lean on Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.
Ruled out for Friday

Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers. Jokic will miss a third straight game for the Nuggets while dealing with an ankle issue. Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) will likely continue to shoulder the load in the frontcourt, as he is listed as probable for Friday in Portland.
Won't play against LAL

Jokic (elbow/ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports. Wednesday will mark a second straight absence with ankle and foot injuries for Jokic, who sees his next chance to play arrive Friday against Portland. The Nuggets shifted Aaron Gordon to the center spot Monday against the Warriors, with Hunter Tyson and Peyton Watson joining the first unit in that one due to Jamal Murray's (ankle) absence as well.
Trending toward not playing

The Nuggets are "leaning against" playing Jokic (elbow/ankle) against the Lakers on Wednesday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Jokic appears to be trending toward a second consecutive missed game due to a right elbow contusion and left ankle impingement. Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) got the start at center against the Warriors on Monday, and he would likely stay at the five if Jokic is indeed ruled out.
Questionable to play Wednesday

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Jokic continues to deal with a right elbow contusion and a left ankle impingement, which could hold him out for a second consecutive contest Wednesday. If the superstar big man is sidelined once again, Zeke Nnaji and Vlatko Cancar could see an uptick in playing time. Jokic has made eight appearances in March, during which he has averaged 29.3 points, 13.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 1.6 steals across 39.8 minutes per contest.
Officially out Monday

Jokic (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Head coach Michael Malone noted a few hours before tipoff that he didn't expect Jokic to be available Monday, and the team has since downgraded the big man to out. Look for Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan to hold down the center position in Jokic's absence.
Now unlikely to play

Head coach Michael Malone doesn't think Jokic (elbow) will play in Monday's game against the Warriors, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Official confirmation on the superstar big man's status should arrive closer to Monday's tipoff, but fantasy managers shouldn't plan on having Jokic available against the Warriors. Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan would figure to split the center minutes if Jokic is ultimately ruled out.
