Nuggets' Dario Saric: Double-doubles in loss Sunday
Rotowire
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.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Starting Friday
Rotowire
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.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Lands in Denver
Rotowire
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.

Dario Saric: Triple-double versus Slovenia
Rotowire
Saric accumulated 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes in Croatia's 108-92 win over Slovenia on Tuesday.
Saric is currently an unrestricted free agent, and his play against Slovenia bodes well for his stock in free agency. The 30-year-old big man proved his worth as a passer and rebounder. His ability to play either position down low for whatever club he goes to next was also on display. Saric averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 17.2 minutes over 64 regular-season games with the Warriors last season.

Rotowire
Saric (knee) finished with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in six minutes Thursday in the Warriors' 100-92 win over the Trail Blazers.
Saric made his first appearance since March 20 after missing each of Golden State's previous seven games with right knee lateral joint pain. He checked into the game with 5:35 remaining in the second quarter and played the rest of the half, but Saric wasn't summoned from the bench at any point in the second half.
