Spencer Jones (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Injured during the offseason, Jones will be available to make his season debut on Saturday. Given the time missed, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. Jones will give the Nuggets added frontcourt depth, however.

DeMar DeRozan (back) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

DeRozan did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Raptors, giving rookie Bryce Hopkins more minutes. Playing 28 minutes, the second-round pick scored a career-high 18 points. Regardless of DeRozan’s availability, Hopkins should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Bryce Hopkins put up 18 points (6-of-7 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, an assist, two steals, and a three in win against Raptors.

The 49^th pick in this last year’s draft has gotten some good run to start the season due to injuries. Hopkins has had moments where he’s flashed real value. If he’s available in deeper dynasty leagues, he’s worth grabbing as a stash even though he’s a two-way guy. He won’t likely have a role when the roster is at full health, but he’s shown enough to where there might be something there.

Jamal Murray put up 14 points (4-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, a steal and two 3-pointers in win over Raptors on Wednesday.

Jamal Murray didn’t have the most efficient night but still filled up the stat sheet in the win. He really got going in the second half which helped the Nuggets take off in the third quarter. We know who Jamal Murray is, and there’s no need to complain too much. He’ll bounce back and his next opportunity to do so will be against the Pacers on Saturday.

Nikola Jokić had himself a night with 32 points (13-of-19 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), ten rebounds, eleven assists and three steals in 128-109 win over the Raptors.

Jokić was a monster in this game and was a big reason why they won this game. We have seen some level of decline in terms of his on court play this season, but he’s still an elite fantasy player. He completely transformed this game in the second half where the Nuggets got off to a massive lead where he didn’t even play in the fourth quarter, so it could’ve been even better had it been a close game.

DeMar DeRozan (back spasms) will not play in Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.

Losing DeMar DeRozan for this game will hurt the Nuggets bench with his scoring punch. The Nuggets are already without Julian Strawther who would take some of those minutes. Trevon Brazile could get a bump but we could also see Bryce Hopkins get back in the rotation who appears to be above Cam Whitmore in the rotation.

Alpha Diallo (wrist) is able to play against the Raptors on Wednesday.

After playing 6 minutes in last game, it looks like he won’t miss any time. He’s not worth grabbing in most formats unless you’re in very deep leagues. He hasn’t been a fantasy producer at this point in his NBA career.

Cameron Johnson (lower body) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.

There was some concern that Johnson may have injured his hamstring during Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers. However, he’s feeling better and will take his usual place in the starting lineup on Wednesday.

Cameron Johnson (lower body) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.

Johnson appeared to tweak something in his left leg during Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, ending his night with just over one minute remaining. The good news is that he’s probable to play on Wednesday. If Johnson can’t play, Trevon Brazile could move into the starting five.

Alpha Diallo (wrist) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.

Diallo returned from a sprained wrist in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, but he played just six minutes. You don’t need to roster the rookie wing in redraft leagues, especially with Trevon Brazile’s emergence.
