Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Julian Strawther finished Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers with 19 points (9-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

Several Nuggets players performed well in their 54-point win over the Trail Blazers on Friday, including Strawther, who was one of seven players on Denver to score in double figures. Quietly, Friday’s contest marked the seventh straight game that Strawther has scored at least 10 points. His three-point production has fluctuated, but that hasn’t stopped him from making positive contributions on that end of the floor. He’ll have a chance to extend his streak to eight games on Sunday against the Warriors.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray tallied 25 points (6-of-12 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and six three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

All of Murray’s shot attempts came from beyond the arc in Friday’s contest, accounting for two-thirds of his scoring; the other third came from the charity stripe. He was one of two Nuggets players to score in double figures and one of three to notch at least six assists. Murray’s time on the floor was limited to 25 minutes, thanks to the large margin Denver led by in the second half. Still, he made the most of his minutes and provided good fantasy production.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić tallied 32 points (10-of-15 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, four steals and three three-pointers in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Despite Friday’s contest coming on the second night of a back-to-back, Jokić performed more like his usual self than he did on Thursday. The three-time MVP shot efficiently and tallied more points than he did minutes. He cut back on his turnovers, contributed as a rebounder and passer, per usual, and even led Denver in steals. Limited minutes were the only thing to get in Jokić’s way on Friday.
Jalen Pickett

DEN Guard #24

Jalen Pickett (knee) is available to play on Friday against the Trail Blazers.

Pickett is cleared to play Friday in the Nuggets’ second game in as many nights. He was also available against the Clippers on Thursday, but didn’t see any action in the one-point loss. Pickett is averaging just 5.4 points per game thus far, but is capable of big nights as a three-point shooter. Should he earn minutes on Friday, it’ll likely be in a reserve role.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (hamstring) is available for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Murray is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. He’ll take on his usual responsibilities as the Nuggets’ starting point guard.
Jalen Pickett

DEN Guard #24

Jalen Pickett (knee) is probable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Pickett was available for Thursday’s loss to the Clippers but did not see any action. With Jamal Murray (hamstring) listed as questionable, Pickett may be asked to take on a prominent role against the Trail Blazers if he’s allowed to play.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (hamstring) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Murray logged 35 minutes in Thursday’s one-point loss to the Clippers, and he’s questionable for Friday’s game due to tightness in his right hamstring. If the Nuggets have to go without their All-Star point guard, Jalen Pickett is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.
Bruce Brown

DEN Guard-Forward #11

Bruce Brown amassed 19 points (6-of-9 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Clippers.

Bruce Brown tied a season-high in points on Thursday thanks to a sensational first half of basketball, when he scored 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting with three triples. He cooled down considerably after halftime but still finished as one of Denver’s top scorers on the evening. His facilitation was also impressive and important for Denver in his 25 minutes of game action. Brown isn’t a needle-mover in fantasy leagues or someone fantasy managers should be looking to add immediately, but he’s capable of having some productive nights.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray recorded 20 points (5-of-15 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Clippers.

Murray had his highs and lows throughout Thursday’s contest, with his clutch scoring down the stretch to give the Nuggets a chance, ultimately getting overshadowed by a game-tying missed free throw with under 1.0 second remaining in the game. Despite some inefficient shooting, he was one of two Denver players to score at least 20 points, and his work on the glass and as a facilitator led to a pretty strong fantasy performance.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić finished Thursday’s loss to the Clippers with 22 points (9-of-22 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), 17 rebounds and six assists.

Jokić posted a good stat line on Thursday, but it was a bit of a rollercoaster ride to reach his final numbers. The former Finals MVP missed all six of his three-point attempts en route to finishing with one of his least efficient shooting performances of the season. He also committed six turnovers in his 36 minutes of game action. Still, he flirted with a 20-point, 20-rebound game and almost led Denver to a win. He’ll take the floor again on Friday against the Trail Blazers.
