Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Peyton Watson (hamstring) participated in 3-on-3 scrimmaging during Monday’s practice.

Watson has been out since straining his hamstring during a February 4 loss to the Knicks. After Monday’s 3-on-3 session, there is hope that he’ll be available to play sometime this week. While games on Tuesday and Wednesday may not be in the cards for Watson, he may be available toward the end of Week 21. His return will affect the playing time of Spencer Jones and Julian Strawther, neither of whom has done enough to remain on the radar in most fantasy leagues.
Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Cameron Johnson accumulated 18 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.

Johnson, who has struggled for most of his first season in Denver, appears to be turning things around. He’s scored at least 15 points in three straight games, with the 18 points in Friday’s overtime loss being the most in a game for Johnson since hitting that number in a February 19 loss to the Clippers. For fantasy managers, now would be a great time for Johnson to provide consistent production, especially with the playoffs in Yahoo! default leagues beginning in Week 21.
Aaron Gordon

DEN Forward #32

Aaron Gordon amassed 27 points (9-of-16 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.

Gordon shot 5-of-10 from beyond the arc on Saturday, coming through with much-needed production on a night when Jamal Murray (5/6/2 with one three-pointer) shot 1-of-14 from the field before fouling out. This was his second game of the season with at least five three-pointers, the first being Gordon’s 10 three-pointer explosion against the Warriors on October 23. The Nuggets play four games in Week 21, starting with the shorthanded 76ers on Tuesday.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić finished Saturday’s loss to the Lakers with 24 points (10-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 16 rebounds, 14 assists, five steals, one block and two three-pointers.

Jokić recorded his 27th triple-double of the season on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to get the Nuggets the overtime victory in Los Angeles. To no one’s surprise, the three-time MVP remains the top-ranked player in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. And for those whose leagues start playoffs in Week 21, they’ll be pleased to see Jokić and the Nuggets scheduled to play four games.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are available for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Murray and Gordon were initially probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrades were expected. They’ll take on their usual roles in the Nuggets’ starting lineup.
Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8

Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out for Saturday’s game against the Warriors.

Watson is out for Saturday’s game, but he could return to action at some point next week. His eventual return likely affects Julian Strawther and Spencer Jones more than anyone else, as those two have seen their opportunities increase since Watson strained his hamstring in early February.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are probable for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Murray and Gordon are back on the injury report, but both players are listed as probable, so they should be able to play. Gordon did not play in Thursday’s win over the Spurs, with Spencer Jones replacing him in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should plan for Gordon and Murray to take on their usual responsibilities, which would push Jones to the bench.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones amassed 19 points (8-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Spurs.

The Nuggets did not have Aaron Gordon (hamstring) for Thursday’s game, resulting in Jones making his first start since February 4. Unsurprisingly, as he made 34 prior starts due to the Nuggets’ injury issues earlier this season, Jones was ready for the moment. Shooting 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, the second-year forward’s 19 points were the most in a game for him since dropping 28 on the Mavericks on December 1. Gordon sat out for injury management reasons, so he should be back on Saturday against the Lakers. If not, Jones would make for a worthwhile pickup in deep leagues.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray tallied 39 points (11-of-21 FGs, 15-of-15 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Spurs.

The “Blue Arrow” was at his best when the Nuggets needed him most, scoring 16 points in the third quarter on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. Murray was efficient throughout the night, making over half of his shot attempts and going a perfect 15-of-15 from the foul line. For the first time in just over a month, the Nuggets guard has scored at least 30 points in consecutive games. Murray will look to make it three straight when the Nuggets visit the Lakers on Saturday.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić finished Thursday’s win over the Spurs with 31 points (9-of-17 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), 20 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals, two blocks and two three-pointers.

Despite appearing a bit fatigued to begin Thursday’s game, which was their second in as many nights, the Nuggets rallied in the second half to pick up one of their best wins of the season. Jokić recorded another elite stat line, posting his 26th triple-double of the season. Also, this was the 10th triple-double of his career in which the three-time MVP accounted for at least 30 points and 20 rebounds. The Nuggets play once more in Week 20, Saturday night against the Lakers.
