Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Julian Strawther (back) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Rockets.

Strawther last appeared in a game on November 15. Even if he’s cleared to play on Monday, the third-year wing will likely be under a minutes restriction. There’s no need to consider adding Strawther, even as the Nuggets continue to play without Christian Braun.
Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Peyton Watson amassed 21 points (7-of-10 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Kings.

After enjoying a run of at least 15 points in three straight games, Watson’s offensive production tailed off a bit ahead of Thursday’s game. The fourth-year forward surpassed the 20-point mark for the third time this season, somewhat compensating for the lack of defensive production. Over the past month, Watson has been ranked just outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the absences of Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon have freed up opportunities for Watson, he’s still available in over 70 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray accounted for 11 points (4-of-13 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, nine assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Thursday’s win over the Kings.

Murray didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but he did lead the Nuggets with nine assists. So far, he’s had at least nine helpers in seven games this season, something he only did six times in 2024-25. While Murray’s fantasy value is not on par with that of teammate Nikola Jokić, he is closing in on first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Nuggets play three games in Week 9, starting with the Rockets on Monday.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić finished Thursday’s win over the Kings with 36 points (14-of-16 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 12 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two three-pointers.

Jokić was well on his way to a 12th triple-double of the season, but the nature of Thursday’s game got in the way. Denver held a 28-point lead at the end of the third quarter, so there was no need for the three-time MVP to go back into the game. So, Jokić managers will have to settle for his 22nd double-double and tenth game of the season with at least 30 points. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, the Nuggets don’t play again until Monday night against the Rockets.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić finished Sunday’s win over the Hornets with 28 points (11-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and four three-pointers.

Jokić fell one rebound shy of a triple-double, but fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the final line that he produced in Charlotte. The Nuggets center remains the best player in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. And the break in the schedule due to the NBA Cup should do Jokić some good, as the Nuggets don’t play again until Thursday against the Kings. With Domantas Sabonis (knee) sidelined, that stands to be another big night for The Joker.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray accounted for 34 points (14-of-25 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Hornets.

Except for the Nuggets’ December 1 loss to the Mavericks, which he left prematurely with a sprained right ankle, Murray has been on a roll since mid-November. Since November 15, the Nuggets guard has scored at least 30 points on four occasions, including Sunday’s efficient 34-point performance. During this time span, Murray has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, which is slightly better than his season-long value. While the Nuggets only play once in Week 8, it’s against a Kings team ranked in the bottom five of the NBA in points allowed and defensive rating.
Bruce Brown

DEN Guard-Forward #11

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.
