What It Means:

This doesn't guarantee Jokic will play and he will likely be limited after missing the past three contests. His return would eat into Kenneth Faried and Darrell Arthur's playing time, while also hurting Jusuf Nurkic's value. Hold off on getting Jokic into your lineups.

Operating on the assumption that Jokic doesn't play, our models project Nurkic for 9.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 assists in 22.6 minutes of action against Brooklyn.
