  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Sets career-high six dimes in win

    Strawther amassed nine points (3-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 victory over Oklahoma City.

    Strawther has seen an increased role over the past three games in the absence of Jamal Murray (concussion). Even when Murray returns, Strawther may be asked to do a bit more, given the weeks-long recuperation of Aaron Gordon (calf). Strawther's past three performances have been a mixed bag, but it's come out relatively well in the wash, with averages of 13.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.0 minutes.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Notches 13 points

    Strawther supplied 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 121-119 victory over the Raptors.

    This was Strawther's largest workload of the season, and it comes on the heels of his 19-point effort Saturday against the Jazz. Aaron Gordon left this game after four minutes with a calf issue, and Strawther and Peyton Watson combined to score a total of 29 points as a result. Both players will be on the streaming radar if Gordon ends up missing additional time.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Minor impact in win

    Strawther racked up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime victory over the Nets.

    Strawther has been a consistent part of the rotation through Denver's first four games, although his offensive volume has been inconsequential. He has connected on five of nine three-point attempts to start the season, however.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Not in starting lineup

    Strawther is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Strawther will return to the bench since the Nuggets will feature their regular starting unit, which includes Jamal Murray and Christian Braun in the backcourt. Strawther is expected to open the regular season in a bench role for Denver, limiting his fantasy upside considerably across most formats.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Goes for 33 points off bench

    Strawther recorded 33 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block across 30 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 132-126 preseason win over the Timberwolves.

    Strawther will open the 2024-25 regular season in a bench role, as Christian Braun is penciled in as the starter in the backcourt alongside Jamal Murray, but Strawther will certainly put his name in the conversation for a bigger role with more performances such as this one. Strawther looked particularly dangerous from three-point range, and keeping that up in the regular season will undoubtedly lead to a more significant role due to the Nuggets' lack of shooters.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Scores 12 points Tuesday

    Strawther finished with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason loss to the Thunder.

    Strawther got the start next to Christian Braun in the backcourt since neither Jamal Murray (knee) nor Russell Westbrook (rest) were available. While Strawther was one of four starters who scored in double digits in this thumping loss, his performance didn't turn heads by any means. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's departure has opened up opportunities for Strawther, who hasn't capitalized yet. He seems set to open the season in a backup role, limiting his fantasy upside.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Starting vs. OKC

    Strawther will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder.

    Jamal Murray is out after tweaking his knee Sunday, allowing the Nuggets to take an extended look at Strawther in the starting five. The 22-year-old is expected to back up Christian Braun at shooting guard, though he could end up in the starting lineup if injuries arise in the regular season.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Strong showing off bench Sunday

    Strawther posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 30 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.

    Nikola Jokic turned heads with his play after ending just one assist shy of a triple-double, but the former Gonzaga standout was Denver's second-best player right after the star big man. Strawther, who was selected with the 29th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, should carve a decent role off the bench in his sophomore year in the league. The Nuggets will open their regular season against the Thunder on Oct. 24.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Staying in Denver through 2025-26

    The Nuggets exercised Strawther's $2.67 million team option for 2025-26 on Thursday, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

    The No. 29 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Strawther had a limited role in his rookie season, averaging 4.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 10.9 minutes across 50 appearances. However, the departure of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should open up more playing time on the wing for Strawther in 2024-25.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Scores 17 points

    Strawther produced 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes of Sunday's 130-104 preseason loss to Boston.

    Michael Porter had the night off for rest, allowing Strawther to step into the starting five. He certainly turned some heads, and it appears he's ready to push for a rotation spot after barely touching the floor during his rookie season. The departure of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should open up more opportunities for Strawther in Year 2.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Starting Sunday

    Strawther will join the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics in Abu Dhabi, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

    Strawther will replace Michael Porter in the starting five Sunday, with the latter expected to take a rest day. Strawther is currently competing with Christian Braun for the starting two-guard spot to open the regular season, and a solid preseason could help move him closer to the starting job. The 22-year-old is coming off an inconsistent rookie year in which he showed flashes when getting meaningful playing time, averaging 4.5 points and 1.2 rebounds across 10.9 minutes in 50 regular-season outings.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Shut down for Summer League

    The Nuggets announced Tuesday that Strawther will not play for the remainder of the Summer League, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Strawther hasn't suffered any injury but will sit out the remainder of the Summer League after impressing in his first two outings, averaging 28.5 points. The second-year forward will now allow younger and more inexperienced players to receive increased playing time while he focuses on working toward a more consistent role in Denver's rotation in 2024-25.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Goes for 32 in SL

    Strawther went for 32 points (10-21 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five assists, three rebounds, one steal and a block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 loss to the Raptors at Summer League.

    Strawther has been impressive offensively in two Summer League appearances, averaging 28.5 points per game. The Gonzaga product seems to be dealing with a minor ankle injury, so it wouldn't be surprising if he is shut down for the remainder of Summer League considering his performance to this point. Strawther could play his way into the rotation this year if he continues to produce offensively, especially with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope departing for Orlando.
