Nikola Jokic had 39 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for his NBA-leading 12th triple-double of the season as the Denver Nuggets outlasted the Houston Rockets 128-125 in overtime...

Alperen Sengun - Posts triple-double in OT loss Sengun finished Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets with 33 points (14-27 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block across 42 minutes.
Impact Sengun engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Nikola Jokic, as both players posted a triple-double in this heavyweight matchup, but at the end of the day, the Rockets' big man couldn't avoid the defeat for Houston. This was Sengun's first triple-double of the 2025-26 campaign, and he's now posted either a triple-double or a double-double in his last four appearances dating back to Dec. 1.

Tari Eason - Not playing Monday Eason (oblique) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Impact Head coach Ime Udoka clarified that Eason's absence from Monday's game isn't a setback in his injury but rather general soreness after a workout. The forward hasn't played in a month while dealing with an oblique injury, so his absence shouldn't have a lot of fantasy ramifications. His next chance to play will come against the Pelicans on Thursday.

Tari Eason - Questionable for Monday Eason (oblique) is questionable for Monday's game in Denver.
Impact Eason hasn't played in a month, so if he is cleared for Monday's game, he'll likely have some minutes restrictions. Eason's return would result in fewer minutes for Jae'Sean Tate.

Impact Eason hasn't taken the court since Nov. 14 due to a right oblique strain, but he's nearing a return to play. Head coach Ime Udoka noted Saturday that the team is hopeful Eason can gain clearance to suit up for Monday's clash, though the training staff will need to see how sore he feels following Saturday's practice. More clarity on his status should come closer to Monday's tipoff.
