Austin Rivers - Probable SundayRivers (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
Zeke Nnaji - Questionable SundayNnaji (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
ImpactNnaji has missed the last eight games due to bilateral knee soreness but will have a chance to return Sunday. Even if he's available, he'll likely face a minutes restriction.

Nikola Jokic - Likely to play SundayJokic (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
ImpactJokic was held out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness, but he'll likely be back in action following a minimal absence. He's posted double-doubles in each of his last 16 appearances and has averaged 23.8 points, 14.0 rebounds and 8.9 assists in 32.3 minutes per game during that time.

Dennis Schroder - Questionable SundaySchroder (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
ImpactSchroder has missed the last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he'll have a chance to return against Memphis. If he's held out, Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews should continue to see additional playing time.

DeMarcus Cousins - Turns back clock FridayCousins ended Friday's 116-101 win over the Rockets with 31 points (10-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 24 minutes.
ImpactCousins made his first start since joining the Nuggets and stepped up in the absence of Nikola Jokic (illness). The former Pelicans and Kings big man delivered numbers he hadn't posted consistently since he injured his Achilles a few years ago, but considering his role and the fact that he should head back to the bench as soon as Jokic is available, this should be an outlier rather than the norm going forward.

Jalen Green - Solid output against DenverGreen registered 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to the Nuggets.
ImpactGreen couldn't repeat the 27-point output he delivered against the Jazz earlier this week, but he still ended with a decent stat line across the board. He has scored over 15 points in each of his last three contests and has averaged 17.7 points since the beginning of February.

Alperen Sengun - Double-doubles off benchSengun ended with 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to the Nuggets.
ImpactSengun continues to play well off the bench and has scored in double digits in three of the last four contests, though this was his first double-double since mid-February. The rookie has four double-doubles on the season and should remain productive off the bench, though fantasy managers need to be aware of the inconsistencies he might endure, both due to his role and due to the fact that he's a rookie.
