Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Peyton Watson (hamstring) tallied 14 points (6-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

Back in action for the first time since February 4, Watson played 20 minutes without incident on Sunday. And he was effective, shooting just under 50 percent from the field while providing value in rebounds and assists. With Watson in the fold, eight players logged at least 20 minutes against Portland, with Spencer Jones (six points, four rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer) being the ninth man at 11 minutes.
Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Cameron Johnson recorded 19 points (7-of-10 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

After his streak of games with at least three three-pointers ended with an 0-of-4 night in Friday’s win over the Raptors, Johnson found his stroke on Sunday. The Nuggets’ forward made five of seven attempts from beyond the arc, and he’s up to 17 three-pointers in his last five games. And this is good timing for Johnson, as the Nuggets’ rotation returned to full strength on Sunday with Peyton Watson returning from a strained hamstring.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić accounted for 22 points (10-of-18 FGs), 14 rebounds, 14 assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

Jokić finished Sunday’s victory with his 28th triple-double of the season, and his first since going on a run of four straight triple-doubles less than two weeks ago. The three-time MVP was responsible for five turnovers, but the overall production compensates for that deficiency. The Nuggets open a four-game Week 22 in Phoenix on Tuesday.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray amassed 22 points (9-of-18 FGs), two rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

Neither Murray nor Nikola Jokić attempted a free throw in Sunday’s victory, a surprising development, given how much of the Nuggets’ offense runs through them. The former was efficient, shooting 50 percent from the field overall and 4-of-9 from three. Add in the assists, and this was a solid end to Week 21 for Murray. The Nuggets play four games in Week 22, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.
Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Peyton Watson (hamstring) is available for Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Sunday’s game will be the first for Watson since he suffered a strained hamstring during a February 4 loss to the Knicks. As expected, his minutes will be limited on Sunday, so fantasy managers should not expect much. Moving forward, Watson will provide depth and production off the bench for the Nuggets.
Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Peyton Watson (hamstring) is expected to return for Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Watson has missed the better part of the last two months with a hamstring strain, but is set to return on Sunday against the Trail Blazers, according to a report from Charania. The Nuggets have officially listed Watson, who can be a key contributor off the bench, as questionable for Sunday’s game.
Tim Hardaway

DEN Guard-Forward #10

Tim Hardaway Jr. recorded 23 points (8-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, one steal and seven three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Raptors.

Hardaway entered Friday shooting 8-of-31 from three over the last four games. He snapped out of his slump in a big way against the Raptors, shooting 7-of-10 on the night. The four rebounds were a decent bonus, but most fantasy managers roster Hardaway for the points and three-pointers. The Nuggets end Week 21 with a game against the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić produced 22 points (9-of-14 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Raptors.

While there’s no shortage of Jokić managers in playoff matchups who have been looking for his usual triple-double mastery, Friday’s stat line was solid. The three-time MVP made over 50 percent of his shots and recorded a complete stat line. And Jokić will have one more chance to put up a big stat line during Week 21, as the Nuggets face the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray finished Friday’s win over the Raptors with 31 points (10-of-18 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers.

After totaling 31 points in his prior two appearances, Murray hit that number against the Raptors on Friday. And he was highly efficient in doing so, shooting over 50 percent from the field and 90 percent from the foul line. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a good night to roster Murray. Since the All-Star break, he has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats.
Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

Watson, who did some 3-on-3 scrimmaging at the beginning of the week, has not reached the point where he can play in games. With Aaron Gordon back in the lineup after not playing on Wednesday, Spencer Jones and Julian Strawther will be the key wing contributors off the bench.
