Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (lower body) probable Wednesday
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 1:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Cameron Johnson (lower body) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Johnson appeared to tweak something in his left leg during Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, ending his night with just over one minute remaining. The good news is that he's probable to play on Wednesday. If Johnson can't play, Trevon Brazile could move into the starting five. |
Xavier Cooks Alpha Diallo (wrist) probable Wednesday vs. TOR
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 12:58 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alpha Diallo (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Diallo returned from a sprained wrist in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, but he played just six minutes. You don't need to roster the rookie wing in redraft leagues, especially with Trevon Brazile's emergence. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson exits early vs. Portland
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 6:08 PM
Brendan Vogt
Cameron Johnson finished with seven points (2-of-5 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer against the Trail Blazers on Monday.
Analysis: Johnson checked out of this game with 1:08 remaining after appearing to tweak something in his left leg. Head coach David Adelman didn't have an update after the game, so there isn't any conclusion to draw at this point, other than Johnson could be hurt and miss time. If that happens, Trevon Brazile or Alpha Diallo will likely step into a starting role in place of Johnson. |
Nikola Jokic Joki? pours in 26/9/8/4 line in loss to Portland
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 6:04 PM
Nikola Joki? posted a full line on Monday with 26 points (10-of-22 FGs), nine rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Joki? simply hasn't been as effective this season. It's early, and he'll turn it around, but he just hasn't been the same player. However, that isn't true in fantasy basketball. He has made up for a dip in points, rebounds, assists and field goal percentage with a bump in steals, blocks and free throw percentage. Frankly, none of that is sustainable. All of it will likely regulate, with Joki? still ending up as one of the best players in fantasy basketball. Just be patient. He'll look to stuff the stat sheet against the Raptors on Wednesday. |
Jamal Murray Jamal Murray stays hot with game-high 35 points
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 6:00 PM
Jamal Murray led the Nuggets with 35 points (10-of-19 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four three-pointers in a 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers on Monday.
Analysis: Murray has been on a tear since the season opener. He was held to just six points in that game but has averaged 31.6 points, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 5.4 triples while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 52.9 percent from deep in their five games since. This was his third game with at least 35 points in that stretch, and while it wasn't enough for them to win, he continues to be a fantasy star and will look to stay hot against the Raptors on Wednesday. |

Xavier Cooks Alpha Diallo (wrist) available Monday vs. Portland
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 2:07 PM
Denver Nuggets
Alpha Diallo (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Diallo is back after a four-game absence. While his return adds wing depth for the Nuggets, it's unlikely to affect fantasy basketball because Diallo will come off the bench. |

Xavier Cooks Alpha Diallo (wrist) questionable Monday vs. POR
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:53 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alpha Diallo (wrist) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Diallo has missed Denver's last four games with a sprained wrist. If he can play on Monday, the rookie wing will come off the bench, as Cameron Johnson returned from a sprained ankle on Friday against the Suns. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Jokic had 18/7/10 performance over Suns
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 6:48 PM
Nikola Jokic put up 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, ten assists, three steals, and five turnovers on Friday.
Analysis: While it's not the best performance from Jokic with his standards, it's still a very good performance. He will have games where he's not the most aggressive at scoring the ball and tonight was one of those. Jokic is 31 years old, so there might be some regression coming at some point down the road. For now, sit back and enjoy the ride with one of the most unique players in NBA history. |
Christian Braun Christian Braun with 31 points, hits 7 3-pointers
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 6:45 PM
Christian Braun had 31 points (11-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, an assist, three steals, and seven 3-pointers in 127-120 win over the Suns.
Analysis: Braun went crazy in the first half and hit most of his shots which led to this stat line. Braun has gotten three steals in the past three games when his career average is 0.7 steals, so expect some regression to happen. If the steals become more of a consistent appearance from Braun, there is room for him to be a useful guy in redraft leagues. |

Jamal Murray Jamal with a monster 39/8/5 game against Suns
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 6:42 PM
Jamal Murray put up a monster performance of 39 points (10-of-18 FGs, 12-of-15 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, a steal, a block, seven 3-pointers, and five turnovers in win over the Suns.
Analysis: Jamal Murray was an absolute monster in the third quarter, getting 15 points and was the reason they got secure lead. He got to the line 15 times and hit them at 80% which should be a nice boost to your FT% category. He's been what you hoped for if you drafted him in the top 20 this season. He won't shoot this efficiently every night, but barring injury he'll continue to do what he's doing. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (ankle) good to go Friday vs. PHX
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:10 PM
Vinny Benedetto
Cameron Johnson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Johnson is officially available to return after missing Denver's last three games with a sprained ankle. His return will likely push Trevon Brazile to the bench after he started Wednesday's win over the Pelicans. |

Xavier Cooks Alpha Diallo will not play against Suns on Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 2:45 PM
Vinny Benedetto
Alpha Diallo (wrist, personal) will not play on Friday against the Suns.
Analysis: Alpha hasn't played since opening night but he is back with the team, so he should get back to playing soon. If he does end up being the rotation consistently, it will come at the expense of Tyus Jones. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (ankle) on track to play Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 2:45 PM
Vinny Benedetto
Barring a setback, Cameron Johnson (ankle) will play on Friday against the Suns.
Analysis: It was reported Friday afternoon that Johnson was expected to play, and that's still on track. Unless Johnson is under a minutes restriction that would have him come off the bench, Trevon Brazile is the player who would be replaced in the Nuggets' starting five. |

Xavier Cooks Alpha Diallo (wrist/personal) doubtful Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 10:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Alpha Diallo (wrist/personal) is now doubtful for Friday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Diallo has missed Denver's last three games and may miss a fourth due to the downgrade. Trevon Brazile moved into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans and has performed well enough to warrant a spot in deep leagues. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (ankle) expected to play vs. Suns
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 9:36 AM
John Gambadoro
John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 reports that Cameron Johnson (ankle) is expected to play in Friday's matchup with the Suns.
Analysis: Johnson has logged only 11 minutes this season after getting injured in the opener, but he's on track to return against his former team. He started that contest, but it's unknown if he'll rejoin the first unit against Phoenix. Bryce Hopkins started two games, and Trevon Brazile started one in Johnson's absence. |

Xavier Cooks Alpha Diallo (personal) questionable vs. Phoenix
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 1:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alpha Diallo (personal) is questionable to play against the Suns on Friday.
Analysis: Diallo has missed Denver's last three games but could return for this one. He didn't provide much value in his 22 minutes off the bench in the season opener, but he may be part of the rotation when he is available again. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (ankle) questionable vs. Phoenix
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 1:54 PM
NBA Injury Report
Cameron Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Suns on Friday.
Analysis: Johnson has missed Denver's last three games and could end up missing a fourth. Bryce Hopkins had been starting in his place, but it was Trevon Brazile that got the nod in their last game. Brazile should be worth streaming if he gets another start. |

Xavier Cooks Trevon Brazile starts, finishes with 11 points
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:59 PM
Trevon Brazile accounted for 11 points (5-of-9 FGs), eight rebounds, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: After performing well coming off the bench in Denver's first three games, Brazile made his first NBA start on Wednesday. The rookie forward played 32 minutes against the Pelicans and had another productive outing. The Nuggets needed more athleticism in their rotation, especially after losing Peyton Watson, and Brazile fits the bill. He isn't a must-roster player in 12-team leagues, but the rookie should be rostered in deeper redraft leagues, even if he doesn't stick in the starting lineup. |

Christian Braun Christian Braun chips in with 15 points vs. NOR
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 5:15 PM
Christian Braun accounted for 15 points (6-of-13 FGs), four assists, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Braun's 15 points matched his season high, and just as important for fantasy managers were the other categories. He didn't grab any rebounds, but the assists and steals should benefit category-league managers. Braun's coming off a disappointing 2025-26, and the Nuggets need him to bounce back if they're to be a true contender in the West. |
