Saric won't start in Friday's game against the Mavericks. Saric will head to the bench following the return of Nikola Jokic. Saric is averaging 1.0 points and 1.6 rebounds per game in his five outings off the bench this season.
-
Saric provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies. Saric has been starting in the absence of Nikola Jokic (personal). While it's unthinkable to imagine Saric replicating the numbers of the three-time MVP winner, he's also far from being a liability on either end of the court. As long as he remains in a starting role, Saric should continue to have a decent upside as a streaming option in most formats.

Saric is in the Nuggets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans. Despite being a healthy DNP over the Nuggets' last five games, Saric will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Friday due to Nikola Jokic (personal) being sidelined. Saric should see some more playing time with both Jokic and Aaron Gordon (calf) not playing.
-
Saric chipped in zero points (0-3 FG), one rebound and one assist across five minutes during Monday's 127-125 overtime win over the Raptors. Three games into the season, it's been clear that Saric will have a limited role for Denver when everyone is healthy. He's averaging 9.0 minutes per contest and has a total of two points to his name thus far.

Saric agreed Saturday with the Nuggets on a two-year, $10.6 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Saric appeared in 64 games (nine starts) with the Warriors in 2023-24 and averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 17.2 minutes per regular-season contest, but he fell out of the rotation over the final month of the regular season. The 30-year-old should face less established competition for a reserve role in the Denver frontcourt and will likely enter training camp as the frontrunner to serve as the top backup at center to three-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
