Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Collects season-high nine rebounds
Brown ended with two points (1-3 FG), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Brown established a season high in boards, making a big impact defensively. The 2018 second-rounder is capable of chipping in across the board, and the absence of Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and exit of Peyton Watson (side) on Monday leaves the door open for enhanced streaming appeal. Brown has averaged 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.1 minutes per contest in his last 12 games.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Plays season-high 40 minutes
Hardaway finished Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets with 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 40 minutes.
Hardaway started the second half for the injured Peyton Watson (side), logging a season high in minutes. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) already sidelined, Watson's potential absence in the future could open a path to big minutes for Hardaway. He's quietly reached double digits in scoring in nine consecutive outings, during which Hardaway has averaged 14.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Continues playing heavy minutes
Johnson notched 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime win over the Rockets.
Johnson has performed better over the past month, though his lack of contributions in other areas of the box remains frustrating for fantasy managers. The sharpshooter has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes per contest his last 13 outings, shooting 47.9 percent from deep.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Strong defensive showing Monday
Jones closed Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 41 minutes.
It's the first time in Jones' brief NBA career that he's recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game. The second-year forward has started 10 straight games with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) in street clothes, and over that stretch, Jones is averaging 8.2 points, 3.9 boards, 1.3 threes, 0.8 assists and 1.1 combined steals and blocks in 25.6 minutes a contest while shooting a surprising 56.4 percent from the floor and 44.8 percent (13-for-29) from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Strikes for 35 in OT win
Murray closed with 35 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 14-15 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Nikola Jokic led the way with a 39-point triple-double, but Murray needed to come up big as well, as no other Nuggets player scored more than 13. The 28-year-old point guard has scored more than 30 points in four of the last eight games, averaging 28.3 points, 6.9 assists, 4.0 threes, 3.9 boards and 1.0 steals during that stretch while shooting a stellar 54.9 percent from the floor, 90.5 percent from the charity stripe and 57.1 percent from long distance.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Powers way to triple-double
Jokic produced 39 points (13-27 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks in 42 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime win over the Rockets.
Jokic pieced together yet another monster performance across the board despite fouling out in overtime, securing his 12th triple-double of the season in the process. He's been on a tear to begin the month of December, averaging 32.7 points, 12.2 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 1.2 steals through his first six appearances.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Fails to return Monday
Watson (side) didn't return to Monday's game against the Rockets. He finished the night with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one steal in six minutes before exiting.
Watson was diagnosed with a right trunk contusion and never returned after departing during the first half. Head coach David Adelman stated after the game that Watson is dealing with a stinger, and the injury shouldn't cause a long-term absence, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette. Watson can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Questionable to return

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Heads to locker room Monday
Watson headed to the locker room during Monday's game against the Rockets due to an apparent left side injury, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Watson was spotted grabbing his left side as he walked to the locker room, and his absence would thin the team's frontcourt depth. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) also out, not having Watson could translate to more minutes for Spencer Jones, Zeke Nnaji and even Tim Hardaway.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Good to go Monday
Strawther (back) has been cleared to play Monday against the Rockets.
Strawther was listed on the injury report as questionable after missing 12 straight games with a back injury, but he's been given the green light to suit up Monday evening. He'll presumably be on some sort of restriction in his first game back.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Practices Sunday
Nuggets head coach David Adelman said that Strawther (back) "went pretty hard" at Sunday's practice, and he's hopeful that the forward will be able to return sometime this upcoming week.
Strawther has been taking contact and ramping up his workload at recent practices, so he appears to be on the cusp of a return. Adelman said he will check with the Denver medical staff on Strawther's status ahead of Monday's matchup with the Rockets, so for now, the latter should be considered questionable for the contest.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Working out at practice
Braun (ankle) was spotted doing some training off to the side during Saturday's practice, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Braun still hasn't been cleared for on-court activities, but it's promising to see that he's making progress toward a return. It was reported in mid-November that he would be re-evaluated in six weeks, so he's likely just a few weeks away from another concrete update from the team.

Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Strong line in win
Valanciunas closed with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Thursday's 136-105 win over the Kings.
The Nuggets blew the Kings out early, so Nikola Jokic was able to call it a night after 29 minutes. Valanciunas feasted in garbage time as a result, once again showcasing his per-minute upside.
