Jalen Pickett, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, Hunter Tyson and DaRon Holmes II will start Friday’s game against the Hawks.
The Nuggets won’t have Jamal Murray or Spencer Jones for Friday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pickett and Tyson will fill the voids, with the latter’s inclusion an indication that Aaron Gordon remains under a strict minutes restriction. While fantasy managers don’t need to consider streaming Tyson, Pickett is worth the risk in deeper formats.
