Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Julian Strawther (back) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Strawther’s continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Cameron Johnson being available. While there may be a few minutes available to Strawther when he returns due to Christian Braun’s ankle injury, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues.
Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Cameron Johnson shot 6-of-12 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Monday’s loss to the Bulls, scoring 19 points with four rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers.

Having entered Monday shooting 37.2 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from three, Johnson needed a good night in the worst way. Against the Bulls, he shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc and finished with season-highs in points and three-pointers. This was the first game in which Johnson made at least three three-pointers in a game, and his previous high point total was 15. One game does not make Johnson a player worth rostering in 12-team leagues again, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Aaron Gordon

DEN Forward #32

Aaron Gordon finished Monday’s loss to the Bulls with 24 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds and one three-pointer.

One game removed from recording his first double-double of the season, Gordon notched a second on Monday. The negative for fantasy managers is that he did not record any assists, steals or blocked shots, the first time Gordon’s tossed up a bagel in all three categories in the same game this season. Thanks to excellent production in points, rebounds and three-pointers with high percentages, AG is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. However, the margin for error is slim due to the lackluster assists and defensive stats.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray dropped 34 points (12-of-22 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Bulls.

For the first time this season, Murray recorded a points/rebounds double-double, with the other two being of the points/assists variety. The 34 points were the most the Nuggets guard has scored in a game since an October 27 win over the Timberwolves in which he tallied 43. Murray continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP, ranking within the top-25 in nine-cat formats. It would be unsurprising if he had another big game on Wednesday when the Nuggets visit the reeling Pelicans.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić recorded 36 points (13-of-27 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 18 rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Monday’s loss to the Bulls.

Jokić had a chance to send Monday’s game to overtime, but his long three-point attempt fell short of the rim as time expired. However, fantasy managers aren’t concerned about the game’s outcome. Jokić recorded his second straight triple-double and eighth of the season. Whether it’s eight- or nine-cat formats, the Nuggets center remains the most valuable player in fantasy basketball. And with the Nuggets visiting New Orleans on Wednesday, Jokić could be in for another huge stat line.
Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Julian Strawther (back) is out for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Strawther is officially out. However, his absence coincides with Cameron Johnson’s return, so the Nuggets will have the options needed to account for Strawther not playing. He does not impact fantasy basketball when healthy.
Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Cameron Johnson (biceps) is available for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

Johnson is back after a one-game absence, and he will be in the starting lineup. Tim Hardaway Jr. will head to the bench, where he offers a lower fantasy ceiling. Johnson has struggled to begin his time in Denver and is no longer a must-roster player in 12-team leagues.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić (wrist) is available for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

No surprise here as Jokić is once again good to go despite dealing with a wrist injury. The 30-year-old center is coming off a triple-double in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves. Jokić has a great matchup Monday against the Bulls, which is the second game of a back-to-back for Chicago.
Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Peyton Watson will start Monday’s game against the Bulls in place of the injured Christian Braun.

Watson, who started Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves, will remain in the starting lineup despite Cameron Johnson (biceps) being on track to return after a one-game absence. Watson will fill the void left by Christian Braun, who will miss at least six weeks after spraining his left ankle last week. Tim Hardaway Jr. will come off the bench after starting against Minnesota.
Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Julian Strawther (back) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

Strawther has appeared on the Nuggets’ injury report on multiple occasions due to lower back pain, with this being the most recent instance. Even with Christian Braun (ankle) out for 6-8 weeks, Strawther is unlikely to get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance if he’s cleared to play.
