Tim Hardaway Hardaway scores 18 points with four triples
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 7:57 PM
Tim Hardaway Jr. provided a boost off the bench with 18 points (6-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers against the Suns on Tuesday.
Analysis: THJ continues to be a streaky producer, and this was one of his good night. After scoring just six points on Sunday, he bounced back with a more productive outing. Two games ago, he scored 23 points with seven triples. The inconsistency makes him a difficult player to roster, but he is certainly capable of making a big contribution when his shot is falling. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray scores 21 points with six assists
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 7:52 PM
Jamal Murray finished with 21 points (7-of-18 FGs), one rebound, six assists, one block and three three-pointers against the Suns on Tuesday.
Analysis: Murray got hot late in this game, scoring 11 points in just the fourth quarter to help Denver win a third straight game. It certainly wasn't his best performance, but he was able to figure things out late. This was his fourth straight game with at least six assists, and he has averaged 7.8 assists per game during this stretch. They still have three games left this week, so Murray should continue to pour in the stats, with Dallas up next on the schedule on Wednesday. |

Nikola Jokic Joki? turns in monster 23/17/17 triple-double
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 7:47 PM
Nikola Joki? recorded a triple-double on Tuesday with 23 points (9-of-16 FGs), 17 rebounds and 17 assists in a 125-123 win over the Suns.
Analysis: Joki? got off to an incredible start to this game, and he nearly recorded a triple-double before halftime, as he entered the break with 15 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. Over his last two games, Joki? has averaged 22.5 points, 15.5 rebounds and 15.5 assists per game. He continues to fill up the box score in a way that nobody else can, and he still has three more games this week. |

Peyton Watson Peyton Watson (hamstring) plays 20 minutes vs. POR
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 1:20 PM
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.
Analysis: 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 Cameron Johnson hits five triples vs. Portland
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 1:20 PM
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.
Analysis: 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 Jokic Nikola Joki? records 22/14/14/2/1 stat line
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 1:19 PM
Nikola Joki? 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.
Analysis: Joki? 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 Jamal Murray hits four triples, scores 22 points
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 1:19 PM
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.
Analysis: Neither Murray nor Nikola Joki? 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 Peyton Watson (hamstring) available vs. Portland
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 9:28 AM
Vic Lombardi
Peyton Watson (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: 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. |

Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Peyton Watson (hamstring) is expected to return for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: 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 Tim Hardaway Jr. sinks seven three-pointers
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:11 PM
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.
Analysis: 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 Jokic Nikola Joki? posts 22/8/9/1/1 line vs. Toronto
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:10 PM
Nikola Joki? 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.
Analysis: While there's no shortage of Joki? 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 Joki? 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 Jamal Murray goes for game-high 31 points vs. TOR
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:10 PM
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.
Analysis: 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. |

Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 12:06 PM
NBA Injury Report
Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: 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. |

NBA Injury Report
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Gordon missed Wednesday's game, which was the second leg of a back-to-back. However, he'll be back in his usual starting spot against Toronto. Spencer Jones started against Memphis but will head back to the bench. |

Christian Braun Christian Braun puts up 26/7/5 line Wednesday
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 7:03 PM
Christian Braun finished Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies with 26 points (11-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, four steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Braun logged his highest scoring performance of the season on Wednesday, finishing with 10 or more made field goals for the first time. His scoring came mostly from inside the arc, although a couple of made three-pointers helped him reach his new season-high. Yet, the versatile wing did more than just score; he was one of Denver's top rebounders against Memphis, produced one of his highest assist totals, and also set a new season-high in steals. Braun's balanced production was not rewarded with a win. However, his production may help some fantasy managers during the fantasy playoffs. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray records 19/12 double-double vs. MEM
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 6:55 PM
Jamal Murray tallied 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, 12 assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Murray logged 41 minutes on Wednesday and came close to logging his first triple-double of the season. He was particularly productive in the fourth quarter of this game, scoring seven points and dishing out six assists in an attempt to secure a second straight win. Instead, the Nuggets came up short and now find themselves just 2.5 games away from the seventh seed in the Western Conference. Murray and the Nuggets will have a chance to get back on track against the Raptors on Friday. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? lands double-double in loss to MEM
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 6:47 PM
Nikola Joki? finished Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies with 29 points (11-of-19 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds, nine assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers.
Analysis: The three-time MVP had highs and lows in Wednesday's loss. He scored the ball efficiently and produced well from both inside and outside the arc, while also finishing with a team-high in rebounds before coming up an assist shy of a triple-double. Yet, much of his production is overshadowed by how much he struggled to take care of the basketball. Joki?'s 10 turnovers marked a season high, and his three fourth-quarter giveaways marked a quarter of Denver's 12 as a team in the closing period. The Nuggets find themselves dangerously close to the Play-In Tournament, which suggests Joki? could log heavy minutes down the stretch to help keep his team in the top six in the Western Conference. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (hamstring) sidelined vs. Memphis
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 8:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gordon was limited to 19 minutes in Tuesday's blowout win, but he'll still sit out the second leg of this back-to-back. Spencer Jones should return to the starting unit in his place. In his last start, Jones contributed 19 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and three triples. |

Christian Braun Christian Braun scores 22 points vs. Philadelphia
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 6:37 PM
Christian Braun led the Nuggets with 22 points (7-of-9 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in a 124-96 win over the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: This game was a blowout from the beginning, but Braun was still able to have a strong performance. He was incredibly efficient, and he had one of his highest-scoring outings of the year. Braun has been far more productive over the past month than he had been previously, but it is still nowhere near what he did last year. Still, he is starting to pick things up and could end up as an important streaming option down the stretch of this season. |

Nikola Jokic Joki? dishes out 14 assists in blowout win
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 6:34 PM
Nikola Joki? finished with eight points (4-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, 14 assists and five turnovers against the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: This game was a blowout early, with the Nuggets taking a 32-point lead into halftime. That led to Joki? only playing 25 minutes, and he certainly wasn't aggressive as a scorer when he was on the floor. Still, this was the fifth straight game that he dished out at least 12 assists, which helped make up for the lack of production in other areas. They head to Memphis for Wednesday's game, which will hopefully lead to a more dominant outing from Joki?. |
