NBA DFS Saturday: Jokic Headlines Five-Game Slate as Injuries Elevate Rollins and Aldama

Injuries are driving value decisions across a compact five-game DFS card.

Overview

  • FantasyPros tags Nikola Jokic as the premier spend-up given his across-the-board dominance and the likelihood of value opening throughout the day.
  • The Bucks are set to play without Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin), positioning Ryan Rollins as a high-usage GPP target despite a tougher Detroit matchup.
  • With Jaren Jackson Jr. doubtful and Ja Morant sidelined, Memphis value concentrates in Santi Aldama’s likely start after a 29-point outing plus minutes for Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer.
  • The slate’s environment features Bulls–Wizards with the highest projected total at 244.5, while Denver is -13.5 over Sacramento and Chicago is -13 over Washington, signaling blowout risk to manage.
  • From Friday’s larger slate, SportsLine’s model-driven picks highlighted Evan Mobley and Jaime Jaquez Jr. as value anchors.
