Nikola Jokic makes all the right moves for Denver Nuggets against league-best Cavaliers defense Nikola Jokic is, to be clear, not a robot. But if he was, he would be one of those almost impossible-to-beat automated chess masters.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic flashes LeBron-like brilliance against Cavaliers: "I don't know how he sees the game" Nikola Jokic assembled a 28-point, 15-rebound, 10-assist masterclass against the rangiest, most suffocating defense in the league. He deciph...

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Scores empty 14 points Friday Caldwell-Pope provided 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 121-108 win over Cleveland.
Impact Caldwell-Pope scored in double-digits for just the third time in his past six games, adding very little in terms of tangible production. While technically a viable commodity in 12-team leagues, Caldwell-Pope is not someone who needs to be rostered. He sits just inside the top 110 for the season, although the majority of his value hinges on low turnovers and decent percentages.

Bones Hyland - Cools off in Friday's win Hyland closed with 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes during Friday's 121-108 victory over Cleveland.
Impact Hyland scored in double-digits for the sixth straight game, yet logged just 17 minutes, following on from 20 minutes the previous night. While it has been a nice little stretch for Hyland, his production is often reliant on who is healthy on any given night. He is outside the top 200 for the season and if his minutes are going to hover in the high-teens, it's hard to see him as anything more than a potential stream candidate.

Nikola Jokic - Triple-doubles again in win Jokic finished with 28 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 121-108 victory over the Cavaliers.
Impact Jokic recorded yet another triple-double in the victory, something that is basically an every-night occurrence for the reigning MVP. There is very little that needs to be said whenever it comes to dissecting Jokic and his nightly production. He is currently the second-ranked player in standard formats, although there is a strong possibility he will end as the number one player yet again once all is said and done.

Jamal Murray - Gets green light Murray (knee) is good to go for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact No surprise here, as Murray drew a probable designation prior to the game. It will be the first time he played both nights of a back-to-back set this season. Thus, the team could look to err on the side of caution with his minutes, but he should see close to his usual workload.

Jamal Murray - Likely to play against Cleveland Murray is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers due to left knee injury management.
Impact Murray is expected to play both games of a back-to-back for the first time this season. However, the star guard may play less than the 31.6 minutes he's averaging in 2022-23.

Zeke Nnaji - Balanced two-way effort Thursday Nnaji provided 13 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 122-91 win over the Clippers.
Impact Nnaji had his best game of the season Thursday, cashing in as the second unit played out the entire second half. With the Nuggets up big, both teams opted to go with their fringe guys, providing managers with some confusing fantasy lines. Given Nnaji had played more than 15 minutes only once in the past five weeks, managers should feel pretty comfortable looking at this as an outlier, as opposed to what they can expect moving forward.

Vlatko Cancar - First career double-double Cancar logged 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 122-91 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Cancar had the first double-double of his career Thursday, taking advantage of a Clippers team that apparently didn't feel like playing competitive basketball. While Cancar has shown flashes this season, his role is typically locked in at no more than 17 minutes per night. He can be considered for streaming purposes when the Nuggets are shorthanded, but beyond that, he has no tangible value outside of the deepest formats.
