Rotoworld Player News

Bruce Brown

DEN Guard-Forward #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bruce Brown provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (4-of-4 FGs), three rebounds, three steals, one block and two three-pointers on Friday against the Hawks

Brown’s contributions this season have been inconsistent, but he’s still capable of making a large impact. He matched his season high for steals and scored in double digits for a second straight game while playing a season-high 32 minutes. Brown isn’t worth rostering, but he is still making an impact off the bench for Denver.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray recorded a double-double on Friday with 23 points (8-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers against the Hawks.

He wasn’t able to come anywhere close to his 52 points from Wednesday’s game, but Murray was still able to have a productive night. 17 of his 23 points came in the second half to help Denver get the comeback win in Atlanta. Murray is enjoying the best season of his career, and it could result in his first All-Star appearance in February.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić led the Nuggets with 40 points (13-of-26 FGs, 13-of-15 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in a 134-133 win over the Hawks on Friday.

It was a tale of two halves for Jokić. He struggled mightily in the first half of this game and entered the break with 10 points on 2-of-13 shooting, but he came out firing to start the third quarter. He had 19 points without missing a shot in the third, which brought Denver within striking distance, and then he added 11 more to complete the comeback. Jokić failed to record a double-double for just the second time this season, but it was certainly a masterclass performance.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones (knee) is available for Friday’s game against the Hawks.

Jones left Wednesday’s game against the Pacers with right knee soreness, but is available for Friday’s game against the Hawks. The 24-year-old power forward should continue to provide solid streaming value with Aaron Gordon still sidelined.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Hawks.

Jones was forced to exit Wednesday’s win over the Pacers with a sore right knee. Due to Aaron Gordon’s absence, the second-year forward has been in the starting lineup, providing solid streaming value. If Jones can’t play on Friday, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown have the most to gain regarding playing time. Zeke Nnaji could also pick up a few more minutes, but Hardaway and Brown are the players to consider adding.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić had 24 points (9-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one three-pointer against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Jokić rarely takes a backseat to anyone, but his teammate Jamal Murray scored 52 points against the Pacers on Wednesday. The 30-year-old center was still just two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Jokić will have two more chances at a triple-double this period with weekend matchups against the Hawks and the Hornets.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray had 52 points (19-of-25 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and 10 three-pointers in the Nuggets’ 135-120 victory over the Pacers on Wednesday.

Murray’s dream start to the season continued Wednesday as he dropped 52 points on 25 shots in the win over the Pacers. The 28-year-old point guard knocked down a career-high 10 three-pointers. Murray is averaging career-highs across the board this year and ranks inside the top-10 in standard leagues.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones (knee) will not return to Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

One game removed from scoring a career-high 28 points, Jones was limited to 17 minutes before exiting Wednesday’s contest with a sore right knee. With Aaron Gordon already out, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown took on more prominent roles within the Nuggets’ rotation after Jones’ exit. That will be the case if he can’t play on Friday against the Hawks.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić (wrist) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

No surprise here as Jokić was initially listed as probable with a wrist injury. The 30-year-old center continues to play through a wrist injury, though that didn’t stop him from recording his 11th triple-double of the season against the Mavericks on Monday. Jokić is in line for another big game against the Pacers on Wednesday.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

Murray is all set to play after exiting Monday’s loss to the Mavericks with a sprained right ankle. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. missing out on boosts to their playing time. Both will still be in the rotation, but their fantasy upsides are limited.
