Rotoworld Player News

KJ Simpson

DEN Guard #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Nuggets plan to sign KJ Simpson to a two-way contract.

With Spencer Jones set to be upgraded to a standard contract, the Nuggets will have a two-way contract slot to work with. According to Charania, the team has decided to use the available slot to sign Simpson. The 42nd overall pick in the 2024 draft, the 6-foot point guard was waived by the Hornets after the trade deadline. A hip injury sidelined Simpson before Charlotte waived him, so there’s no guarantee he’ll be available immediately upon signing with the Nuggets.
Jalen Pickett

DEN Guard #24

Jalen Pickett (knee) is probable for Thursday’s game against the Clippers.

While injuries to multiple rotation players moved Pickett into the starting lineup earlier this season, he came off the bench in each of Denver’s last three games before the All-Star break. And the third-year guard did not exceed 12 minutes in any of those three appearances. Pickett is on track to be available Thursday night, but there isn’t much to gain from rostering him in redraft leagues.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić recorded a triple-double on Wednesday with 26 points (8-of-17 FGs, 10-of-14 FTs), 15 rebounds, 11 assists and nine turnovers in a 122-116 win over the Grizzlies.

He was only one turnover away from this being an unglamorous quadruple-double. It certainly wasn’t an efficient performance for Jokić. He struggled from the floor and the free throw line as well to go with the abundance of turnovers. Still, it was a fourth straight triple-double, and it was enough to get a win, which is a great way to enter the All-Star break. He’ll continue to be the best player in fantasy basketball over the final two months of the regular season.
Christian Braun

DEN Guard #0

Christian Braun finished with 14 points (6-of-8 FGs), seven rebounds and six assists against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

In Denver’s final two games before the All-Star break, Braun was able to productive, which was encouraging to see. It has been a rough season for him so far. He hasn’t been on the floor often, and he has struggled when he has been. However, if he can carry his production from these last two games into the final two months of the season, he may finally play to his top-100 ADP in Yahoo! leagues.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray lit up the Grizzlies with 23 points (7-of-18 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and one three-pointer on Wednesday.

Murray’s final game before playing in his first All-Star Game was another productive one. His shooting percentage has been subpar over his last two outings, but he has still been able to light things up on the offensive end. Murray has been a top-10 player in fantasy basketball this season, and he has been one of the healthiest players for Denver this year. The week off will be helpful to keep him fresh ahead of the final two months of the regular season.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (hip) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Murray was initially listed as probable and will now officially suit up against Memphis. He has recorded a double-double in two straight games and will look to add another to that streak in this game.
Christian Braun

DEN Guard #0

Christian Braun (ankle) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Braun was listed as probable for this game and has now officially been cleared to suit up. He score 20 points in Monday’s game against the Cavs, which was his most productive outing in a while. He’ll look to stay hot in this one.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić (ankle) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Unsurprisingly, Jokić will be good to go after initially being listed as probable. He has recorded a triple-double in three straight games and will look to extend that streak against Memphis.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones (concussion) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Jones’ contract situation still has not been properly addressed, with the plan being to convert his contract to a standard deal during the All-Star break. Also, he has not fully cleared the league’s concussion protocol. Julian Strawther should remain in the starting lineup, and he is worth streaming due to the Nuggets’ multiple injuries.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić (ankle) and Christian Braun (ankle) are probable for Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Jokić and Braun are on the injury report for Wednesday night, but the probable tags suggest that they’ll be good to go. Both played in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers, with the former recording a triple-double and the latter scoring 20 points and knocking down four three-pointers.
