Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Teases triple-double in road loss
Jokic scored a team-high 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and a steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 124-88 loss to the Pacers.
He led the Nuggets in just about every category, and the lack of support leaves Jokic and the Nuggets half a game back of the Warriors in the Western Conference standings. The center now has an even 50 double-doubles on the season, a career high that puts in sixth place in the NBA in that category, tied with Russell Westbrook.

Nuggets' Jarred Vanderbilt: Plays three minutes in Friday's win
Vanderbilt earned three minutes during Friday's 111-93 win over the Knicks.
Vanderbilt made his 10th appearance of the season but didn't log any stats in this one. Nuggets coach Michael Malone has opted to shorten his rotation lately, and the rookie big man was already on the outside looking in most nights. As a result, with the exceptions of lopsided contests like this one, Vanderbilt will mostly be glued to the bench and shouldn't be relied on for fantasy purposes.

Nuggets' Mason Plumlee: Another solid outing in win
Plumlee pitched in 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's 111-93 win over the Knicks.
Plumlee continues to see his minutes overlap some with star center Nikola Jokic, thus affording the 29-year-old backup big man decent playing time. Plumlee had gone eight straight games without reaching double figures in scoring. Nevertheless, he has still been producing quality contributons across several other categories (boards, dimes, blocks) and remains a fairly solid fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Fills stat sheet in blowout victory
Jokic collected 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 17 rebounds, and five assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 111-93 win over the Knicks.
Jokic compiled plenty of counting stats despite not needing to play his usual load of minutes in the blowout victory. With the Nuggets and Warriors sporting identical 49-22 records and fighting for the top seed in the Western Conference, Jokic and company can be expected to keep the pedal to the metal down the stretch.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Well-rounded line in Friday's win
Murray managed 18 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 111-93 win over the Knicks.
Murray recorded two rejections for the second straight night (and the fourth time this season), and it's also the 11th time this season that Murray has swiped at least two steals. The 22-year-old point guard is well known for his offensive contributions, but continuing to improve on the defensive end would catapult Murray to a much loftier status overall at one of the league's deepest positions.

Nuggets' Gary Harris: Scores 15 points in Thursday's win
Harris had 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, two steals, and one assist in 29 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 win over the Wizards.
Harris has reached double figures in scoring in three straight games (and four of the last five). However, he has made at least 50 percent of his field goal attempts only once during this recent stretch, and at this point he's not contributing enough in the other categories to warrant consideration outside of deeper formats.

Nuggets' Torrey Craig: Scores 15 points in Thursday's win
Craig contributed 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four assists, one rebound, one steal, and one block in 25 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 win over the Wizards.
Craig matched his career high in assists. Moreover, he has scored in double figures in consecutive contests, and in three of his last four appearances. His ability to defend along the wing as well as knock down shots from the perimeter appears to be helping him stay relevant despite coach Michael Malone's recent decision to stick with a shorter rotation. With that being said, Craig is best reserved for use in deeper leagues.

Nuggets' Trey Lyles: Doesn't play in Thursday's win
Lyles (DNP-Coach's Decision) did not appear in Thursday's 113-108 win over the Wizards.
Lyles was cleared to play last Thursday against the Mavericks after missing nine games with a hamstring strain. However, he hasn't appeared in any of the three tilts since that point. Given that coach Michael Malone recently opted to shorten the team's rotation, it seems that Lyles has lost his spot in the rotation, at least for now.

Nuggets' Juancho Hernangomez: Doesn't play in Thursday's win
Hernangomez (DNP-Coach's Decision) did not see the floor during Thursday's 113-108 win over the Wizards.
Hernangomez hasn't appeared in either of the last two games, this after being relegated to single-digit minutes in each of his last five appearances. With Nuggets coach Michael Malone deciding to shorten the rotation, Hernangomez has seen his role reduced here in March. As a result, he's avoidable across most fantasy formats.
