Rotoworld Player News

Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cameron Johnson (back) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

While Johnson is dealing with back spasms, the probable tag suggests that he’s on track to play Wednesday night. If he’s unable to go, Julian Strawther is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) is probable to play against the Rockets on Wednesday.

Murray injured his ankle on Friday but played through it on Monday, scoring 21 points in 37 minutes. He should play his usual workload against Houston on Wednesday, though if something changes, Jalen Pickett should step into a starting role.
Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Watson, who has been out since straining his hamstring during a February 4 loss to the Knicks, remains out for at least one more game. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown have picked up additional minutes recently, especially as Cameron Johnson continues to struggle.
Tim Hardaway

DEN Guard-Forward #10

Tim Hardaway Jr. amassed 28 points (10-of-16 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and eight three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Thunder.

Hardaway had one of his most productive nights of the season on Monday. The eight triples represented a new season-high, and his 28 points were the most in a game for him since dropping 30 in a January 29 win over the Nets. This issue, as far as Hardaway’s fantasy value is concerned, is that he has not provided much value outside of points and three-pointers. For those needing a specialist in deeper leagues, he’s worth a look. For others, Monday’s effort did not change much.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) tallied 21 points (9-of-23 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists and one blocked shot in Monday’s loss to the Thunder.

Denver having two days off after Friday’s loss to the Knicks worked in the team’s favor, as Murray did not miss any games after exiting that contest before halftime. While he was able to play 37 minutes on Monday, the Nuggets guard missed all four of his three-point attempts on the night. However, Murray made just under half of his two-point attempts, and category league managers will be pleased with the rebounds and assists. Denver has a midweek back-to-back against the Rockets and Spurs that could be problematic for Murray, given the recent injury.
Aaron Gordon

DEN Forward #32

Aaron Gordon produced 23 points (6-of-15 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Thunder.

Gordon was scalding hot to begin Monday’s game, shooting 5-of-5 from the field and scoring 19 points in the first quarter. Unfortunately, the Nuggets forward cooled off considerably as the Thunder devoted more attention to him defensively, with Gordon making one of his final ten attempts from the field. Fantasy managers will certainly take the final stat line, but some will lament what could have been after the hot start.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić finished Monday’s loss to the Thunder with 32 points (12-of-19 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and three three-pointers.

Jokić nearly helped get the Nuggets to overtime on Monday, as his three-pointer combined with a Jamal Murray free throw for a foul off the ball tied the game with 8.4 seconds remaining. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had other ideas, however, as his three-pointer gave the Thunder their second win over the Nuggets in less than two weeks. However, fantasy managers will be focused more on Jokić recording his 24th triple-double of the season than on the result. The Nuggets play three more games in Week 20, all against teams fighting for playoff seeding in the West.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) is available for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Murray, who sprained his left ankle during the second quarter of Friday’s loss to the Thunder, is officially available for Monday’s game. He’ll take on his usual role as the Nuggets’ starting point guard, while Jalen Pickett remains on the back end of the rotation.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Murray exited Friday’s loss to the Knicks during the second quarter with a sprained left ankle. While he was officially considered questionable to return, the Nuggets’ star point guard did not, as the game had gotten out of hand. Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther are the players most impacted by Murray’s availability. While the former is a point guard, the latter could be the starter if Murray sits, with Denver leaning even more on Nikola Jokić’s playmaking.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) finished Friday’s loss to the Knicks with 12 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one block and one three-pointer.

Murray sprained his left ankle during the second quarter of Friday’s game and walked back to the locker room with assistance. While the Nuggets announced at the start of the third quarter that the point guard was questionable to return, he never did. And with Denver on the wrong end of a blowout, there was no need for him to play. Tyus Jones made his Nuggets debut, finishing with three points, one rebound and one assist in 12 minutes. He and Jalen Pickett (one assist in nine minutes) could be asked to do more if Murray isn’t available for Monday’s game against the Thunder.
