Rotoworld Player News

Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

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

DEN Guard #11

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.
Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Cameron Johnson finished with seven points (2-of-5 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Johnson checked out of this game with 1:08 remaining after appearing to tweak something in his left leg. Head coach David Adelman didn’t have an update after the game, so there isn’t any conclusion to draw at this point, other than Johnson could be hurt and miss time. If that happens, Trevon Brazile or Alpha Diallo will likely step into a starting role in place of Johnson.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić posted a full line on Monday with 26 points (10-of-22 FGs), nine rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Trail Blazers.

Jokić simply hasn’t been as effective this season. It’s early, and he’ll turn it around, but he just hasn’t been the same player. However, that isn’t true in fantasy basketball. He has made up for a dip in points, rebounds, assists and field goal percentage with a bump in steals, blocks and free throw percentage. Frankly, none of that is sustainable. All of it will likely regulate, with Jokić still ending up as one of the best players in fantasy basketball. Just be patient. He’ll look to stuff the stat sheet against the Raptors on Wednesday.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray led the Nuggets with 35 points (10-of-19 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four three-pointers in a 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Murray has been on a tear since the season opener. He was held to just six points in that game but has averaged 31.6 points, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 5.4 triples while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 52.9 percent from deep in their five games since. This was his third game with at least 35 points in that stretch, and while it wasn’t enough for them to win, he continues to be a fantasy star and will look to stay hot against the Raptors on Wednesday.
Alpha Diallo

DEN Guard #11

Alpha Diallo (wrist) is available for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Diallo is back after a four-game absence. While his return adds wing depth for the Nuggets, it’s unlikely to affect fantasy basketball because Diallo will come off the bench.
Alpha Diallo

DEN Guard #11

Alpha Diallo (wrist) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Diallo has missed Denver’s last four games with a sprained wrist. If he can play on Monday, the rookie wing will come off the bench, as Cameron Johnson returned from a sprained ankle on Friday against the Suns.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones (hamstring) is out for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Jones has not appeared in a game this season, and that won’t change on Monday. Rookie Trevon Brazile has been a fixture in the Nuggets’ rotation, and that won’t change anytime soon.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic put up 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, ten assists, three steals, and five turnovers on Friday.

While it’s not the best performance from Jokic with his standards, it’s still a very good performance. He will have games where he’s not the most aggressive at scoring the ball and tonight was one of those. Jokic is 31 years old, so there might be some regression coming at some point down the road. For now, sit back and enjoy the ride with one of the most unique players in NBA history.
Christian Braun

DEN Guard #0

Christian Braun had 31 points (11-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, an assist, three steals, and seven 3-pointers in 127-120 win over the Suns.

Braun went crazy in the first half and hit most of his shots which led to this stat line. Braun has gotten three steals in the past three games when his career average is 0.7 steals, so expect some regression to happen. If the steals become more of a consistent appearance from Braun, there is room for him to be a useful guy in redraft leagues.
