    • Nikola Jokic goes for 34/19/7/0/1 in Game 7 loss
      Nikola Jokic accumulated 34 points (13-of-28 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 19 rebounds, seven assists, one block, and two 3-pointers in 47 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jokic recorded another elite stat line, but his production tailed off in crunch time. Minnesota’s depth and Denver’s lack of consistent options factored into the Joker playing tired, and the NBA will have its sixth champion in as many seasons. Jokic was once again one of the best players in fantasy basketball, ranking third in 9-cat formats and second in 8-cat. His days as the unquestioned 1.1 pick in drafts may be finished, as Victor Wembanyama appears poised to take over, but Jokic should be no worse than 1.3, regardless of league. Jokic is expected to play for Serbia in the Paris Olympics this summer, and their first group stage game is against the United States (July 27). Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Can't carry Denver in Game 6
      Jokic contributed 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-70 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jokic delivered one of the best performances of his playoff career in Game 5 of the series, but he was unable to repeat those numbers in this woeful loss despite a respectable stat line. Jokic shot under 50 percent from the field for the third time in the series, and the Nuggets have lost every time that has happened. While the entire Nuggets offense must perform better in a do-or-die Game 7 contest on Sunday, Jokic will be the one who sets the tone early on. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:01 pm
       
    • Nikola Jokic scores 22 points in Game 6
      Nikola Jokic scored a team-high 22 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) on Thursday. He snared nine rebounds to go along with two assists and missed all four of his attempts from 3-point range.

      Advice: Jokic flirted with a double-double but didn’t do nearly enough to keep Denver in Game 5. He shot under 50% from the field for the second time in the series and will get a chance to bounce back for Game 7 back home. Rotoworld Thursday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Caris LeVert (knee) downgraded to out Wednesday
      Caris LeVert (left knee bone bruise) is out for Wednesday’s Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: After injuring his knee during Monday’s Game 4 defeat, LeVert will miss what could be Cleveland’s final game of the season. He joins Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen on the sideline, with Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade moving into the starting lineup. Sam Merrill will also play more minutes, as Cleveland lacks healthy options heading into Game 5. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Won't play Wednesday
      LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

      Advice: LeVert started in place of Donovan Mitchell (calf) during Monday's Game 4 loss but aggravated a lingering knee injury and will join Mitchell and Jarrett Allen (ribs) on the sidelines Wednesday. Dean Wade will move into the starting lineup, which also features Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Max Strus and Evan Mobley. LeVert's season will be over if Cleveland doesn't win Wednesday in Boston.

    • Masterful performance in win
      Jokic supplied 40 points (15-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jokic took over during Game 5, leading the Nuggets to a third consecutive victory over the Timberwolves. Despite going up against Rudy Gobert, the Defensive Player of the Year, Jokic had no issues getting what he wanted around the basket and finished with a playoff-high 40 points. The series will head back to Minnesota, where Jokic and the Nuggets will look to wrap things up Thursday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:51 pm
       
    • Unstoppable: Nikola Jokic goes off for 40 points
      Nikola Jokic played 40 minutes in Tuesday’s 112-97 win over Minnesota, tallying 40 points (15-of-22 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), seven rebounds, 13 assists, two steals, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: For the first time in this series, the home team won. And Jokic was the deciding factor, as Minnesota had no answer for him in Game 5. The Joker became the second player in NBA postseason history to finish a game with at least 40 points, 10 assists, and no turnovers, joining Chris Paul (2018). On the night he received his third Most Valuable Player trophy, Jokic showed the basketball world why he was bestowed that honor. He and the Nuggets will look to wrap up the series on Thursday night in Minneapolis. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:08 pm
       
    • Questionable for Wednesday
      LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: LeVert started in place of Donovan Mitchell (calf) on Monday night, posting a respectable stat line across 39 minutes, despite the loss. With the Cavaliers hoping to roar back from a 3-1 deficit, the questionable tag is likely just a precaution as LeVert deals with a lingering knee injury. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:47 pm
       
    • Caris LeVert (knee) questionable for Game 5 Weds.
      Caris LeVert (left knee bone bruise) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Starting for the injured Donovan Mitchell (calf), LeVert was seen limping during Monday’s Game 4 defeat. He suffered a knee injury that could sideline him for Wednesday’s elimination game. Max Strus and Sam Merrill are of added importance, and starting point guard Darius Garland will have to take on a heavy offensive workload if LeVert and Mitchell cannot play.
