Nikola Jokić
Nikola Jokić is reportedly making progress in his recovery from a knee injury, as he’s resumed on-court workouts. Shams Charania suggests the Denver Nuggets’ center remains on track for a late-January return, potentially ahead of schedule. During Jokić’s absence, Aaron Gordon has filled in capably as the small-ball five, with Zeke Nnaji contributing 22 minutes off the bench in a recent win against the Pelicans. Fantasy managers might consider adding Gordon, who has consistently logged over 30 minutes in back-to-back games.
