  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Probable for Wednesday

    Strawther (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game versus Houston.

    Aaron Gordon (calf) could be held out for rest Wednesday, so there could be a few extra minutes for Strawther if he's able to give it a go -- Strawther has averaged just 22.0 minutes in his last two games since Gordon returned from his injury.

  • Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Probable for Wednesday

    Murray (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game versus Houston.

    Murray continues to manage soreness in his left knee, but it appears that he'll give it a go for the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Mavericks, Murray erupted for 45 points (18-26 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, two rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes.

  • Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Iffy for Wednesday

    Gordon is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Houston due to right calf injury management.

    Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and there's a good chance the Nuggets hold Gordon out for rest purposes -- he's played in two consecutive games since returning from injury. If that happens, Russell Westbrook and Peyton Watson could absorb more minutes for the Nuggets.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Records three blocks

    Braun racked up six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and three blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 victory over Dallas.

    Despite a quiet showing offensively, Braun made up for it with a season-high three blocks. He continues to have a career season for Denver and is on pace to return seventh-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 13.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks.

  • Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Triple-doubles Tuesday

    Jokic closed Tuesday's 118-99 victory over the Mavericks with 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 29 minutes.

    Jamal Murray stole the show with an epic 45-point performance, so Jokic took a backseat in the scoring column Tuesday. However, the star big man still found a way to make an impact and notched his third triple-double across six January appearances. Jokic continues to have an MVP-caliber season and is averaging close to a triple-double this season, posting 30.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 9.9 assists per contest across 34 appearances.

  • Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Scores eight points Tuesday

    Gordon supplied eight points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 win over Dallas.

    Gordon came off the bench for the second game in a row, and he's played 18 minutes in both contests against Dallas, scoring 13 and eight points, respectively. Gordon should eventually return to a starting role when back at full fitness, though. The forward averages 13.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Struggles from field Tuesday

    Westbrook amassed nine points (3-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Mavericks.

    Westbrook had been on a tear in recent weeks, but he didn't have his best shooting line Tuesday and failed to reach double-digit points for the first time since Jan. 4, when he also had nine points in a loss to the Spurs. Westbrook is averaging 15.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game over his last 11 appearances as a starter, but it wouldn't be surprising if he moves back to a bench role now that Aaron Gordon (calf) is back in the rotation.

  • Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Explodes for season-high 45 points

    Murray recorded 45 points (18-26 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, two rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Mavericks.

    Murray had been struggling going into Tuesday's contest, averaging 15.4 points on 42.9 shooting from the field in his previous five outings. However, Murray was able to turn it around against Dallas and lead Denver to a blowout victory. However, did cough up five turnovers compared to just six assists.

  • Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Will play Tuesday

    Murray (knee) will play in Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

    While Murray is dealing with left knee inflammation, this update doesn't come as much of a surprise, given he was listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's action. Over his last nine contests, the star guard has averaged 18.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 34.2 minutes. With the Nuggets back in action Wednesday during the second leg of a back-to-back against Houston, fantasy managers could find Murray back on the injury report ahead of that matchup.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Set to play against Dallas

    Strawther (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.

    Strawther has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a strained right knee. The 22-year-old should continue to feature as one of Denver's primary forward options off the bench.

  • Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Available Tuesday

    Gordon (calf) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

    Gordon will suit up in his second consecutive contest following a nine-game absence due to a strained right calf. The veteran forward posted 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes in his return during Sunday's win over Dallas, and it wouldn't be surprising if he remains with the second unit while the club works him back to full playing form.

  • Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Will play against Dallas

    Jokic (illness) has been cleared for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

    Jokic will face the Mavericks for a second straight game, which bodes well for the Nuggets in this matchup. The veteran big man is having another MVP-caliber season for Denver, averaging a career-high 31.2 points along with 13.2 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game while shooting 55.5 percent from the floor, including 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Expected to play against Dallas

    Murray (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

    While Murray missed the second half of Friday's win over the Nets with left knee inflammation, he was able to play 32 minutes during Sunday's win over Dallas and is expected to be available for Denver on Tuesday. Over his last nine games, the star guard has averaged 18.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 34.2 minutes. With the Nuggets back in action on a short turnaround Wednesday against Houston, fantasy managers may need to monitor Murray's status ahead of that one as well.

  • Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Probable for Tuesday

    Gordon (calf) has been ruled probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

    Gordon returned from a nine-game absence Sunday in limited fashion, but he will likely ramp up his involvement Tuesday. While he did come off the bench in his previous game, Gordon will also likely return to the starting lineup in the coming days, whether it be Tuesday or another game in the future.
