Jamal Murray Jamal Murray posts 15/7/7/0/1 line vs. Kings
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 6:13 PM
Jamal Murray tallied 15 points (6-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists and one blocked shot in Monday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Murray was 0-of-5 from three on Monday, but fantasy managers still received solid production in the rebound and assist categories. The Nuggets point guard has scored at least 22 points in four of six games, sitting safely within the top-50 in eight- and nine-cat formats. More concerning than the subpar three-point shooting on Monday is Murray's left calf, which has been an issue for a few games. He's played through the issue thus far, but the Nuggets end Week 3 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon finishes victory with 20 points
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 6:09 PM
Aaron Gordon accumulated 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Gordon hasn't approached the heights he reached in Denver's opener, scoring 50 points in a loss to the Warriors. In fact, Monday's effort was his first 20-point game since then. However, Gordon is still shooting the ball with excellent accuracy and averaging 2.5 three-pointers per game. The veteran forward is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, something few fantasy managers expected before the season began. Maintaining that production level may prove difficult, but Gordon's improved shooting has done wonders for his fantasy profile. |

Christian Braun Christian Braun records 21 points, four rebounds
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 6:05 PM
Christian Braun accounted for 21 points (7-of-10 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Braun had his most productive outing of the season on Monday, with the 21 points being the most he's scored in a game. However, the three-point line remains an issue for the fourth-year wing. Having entered Monday shooting 18.2 percent from deep, Braun was 1-of-3 against the Kings. Decreased production in the three-point and steals categories is why Braun is ranked well outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. The role makes him a player who should be rostered in most leagues, and managers need to consider buying low on Braun. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? tallies 34 points, 14 assists Monday
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 6:00 PM
Nikola Joki? finished Monday's win over the Kings with 34 points (14-of-22 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, 14 assists, four steals, two blocks and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Joki? finished Monday's victory three rebounds shy of a triple-double, but he still gave fantasy managers a robust stat line. The 34 points were a season-high, while the 14 assists were one shy of his high. The hot starts of Victor Wembanyama and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander mean that Joki? has serious competition for the top spot in fantasy basketball. That said, it will be tough to dethrone the Joker, given his consistent excellence. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (calf) available vs. Sacramento
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:08 PM
Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray (calf) is available to play against the Kings on Monday.
Analysis: As expected, Murray will once again play through tightness in his left calf. He'll occupy his typical spot in the starting lineup to try and help the Nuggets bounce back after dropping their last game against the Trail Blazers. |

Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:08 PM
Denver Nuggets
Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Kings.

Analysis: Murray and Johnson are back on the Nuggets' injury report, as they continue to deal with nagging injuries.

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? breaks triple-double streak vs. POR
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 7:08 PM
Nikola Joki? had 21 points (7-of-10 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 14 rebounds, nine assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Analysis: Joki? started the year with a triple-double in each of the first four games of the season. That streak came to an end on Friday as the 30-year-old center had 21 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists against the Trail Blazers. Joki? missed it by one assist. Alas, he'll have to wait until Monday against the Kings for his next chance at recording a triple-double. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson has nine points in loss to Blazers
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 7:04 PM
Cameron Johnson had nine points (3-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one three-pointer against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Analysis: Johnson's layup attempt with seven seconds left in regulation of a tie game was erases by Toumani Camara and the Trail Blazers would go on to win on free throws. The 29-year-old small forward has struggled mightily in his first few games with the Nuggets. Johnson has failed to score even 10 points in four of five games this year. He's dealing with a shoulder injury that could be the root cause of his struggles and fantasy managers have to take that into account. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray, Cameron Johnson available Friday
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 3:11 PM
Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray (calf) and Cameron Johnson (shoulder) are available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Murray was initially questionable for Friday's game, while Johnson was probable. They'll both play and take on their usual roles within the Nuggets' starting lineup. Johnson has struggled thus far, with the right shoulder injury likely being a reason why. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (shoulder) questionable Friday
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 2:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: While he's yet to miss a full game this season, Johnson did exit Monday's win over the Timberwolves during the fourth quarter due to right shoulder inflammation. On Wednesday, he only attempted four shots in Denver's blowout of the Pelicans, so the injury may still be an issue. Johnson is probable to play, but fantasy managers should plan for limited production. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (calf) questionable Friday vs. POR
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 2:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Murray is dealing with left calf tightness, hence his inclusion on the Nuggets' injury report. He's yet to miss a game this season, limiting the opportunities available to Bruce Brown and Jalen Pickett. That would change if Murray can't play on Friday, with Brown offering higher fantasy upside. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? has triple-double in blowout win
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 5:36 PM
Nikola Joki? had 21 points (10-of-15 FGs), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one three-pointer in the Nuggets' 122-88 victory over the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Analysis: Joki? has managed to record a triple-double in all four games so far this season. The 30-year-old center needed just 28 minutes, his fewest of the season so far, to get the triple-double in the blowout win. Joki? is still at the top of his game and the Pelicans were no match for him on Wednesday. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (shoulder) available Wednesday
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 1:20 PM
Vinny Benedetto
Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Johnson was forced to exit Monday's win over the Timberwolves during the fourth quarter due to right shoulder inflammation. He's good to go for Wednesday's game after initially being listed as questionable on the Nuggets' injury report. Johnson will be part of the Nuggets' starting lineup. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (shoulder) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 11:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Johnson exited Monday's win over the Timberwolves early in the fourth quarter with right shoulder inflammation. This is the first time he's been on the injury report with the shoulder issue, so it's unlikely to have impacted his slow start before Monday. Peyton Watson was in the closing lineup on Monday, which could mean he'll start if Johnson cannot play against the Pelicans. |

Tim Hardaway Tim Hardaway Jr. adds 20 points off bench Monday
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 6:45 PM
Tim Hardaway Jr. totaled 20 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, three assists and four three-pointers on Monday in the win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Hardaway Jr. had the hot hand against Minnesota and displayed it during the third quarter of Monday's contest. In the period, he connected on all five of his shot attempts and went 3-of-3 from beyond the arc before finishing the frame with 15 points. His production in that quarter alone helped the Nuggets turn an eight-point halftime deficit into an eight-point lead after three quarters. Hardaway finished as one of three Denver players to score at least 20 points. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (shoulder) exits early vs. Wolves
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 6:44 PM
Katy Winge
Cameron Johnson (shoulder) exited in the fourth quarter against the Timberwolves on Monday and did not return.
Analysis: Johnson left the game with 10:42 left and was deemed questionable to return. He sat out the rest of the game. Peyton Watson was part of the closing lineup, and if Johnson remains out against the Pelicans on Wednesday, Watson would have a good chance to start. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray goes off, drops 43 on Timberwolves
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 6:43 PM
Jamal Murray tallied 43 points (16-of-29 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Murray was productive over the first two quarters of Monday's contest, but hadn't put his fingerprints on the game in any significant way to that point. However, he erupted after halftime, tallying four three-pointers and five free throws en route to a massive 23-point third quarter, which took Denver from down eight points at halftime to up eight entering the fourth frame. He cooled off from then on, but still contributed nine more points the rest of the way. Murray finished with a new season-high in points and helped Denver to a second straight victory. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Jokic posts 25/19/10 triple-double vs. MIN
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 6:36 PM
Nikola Jokic amassed 25 points (9-of-10 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block against the Timberwolves on Monday.
Analysis: Jokic logged his highest-scoring game of the season en route to his third consecutive triple-double. The former Finals MVP was extremely efficient from the field and perfect from the free-throw line in what turned out to be his third game scoring at least 20 points thus far. His most impact as a scorer came in a 5-of-5 shooting first quarter that led him to 13 points in the opening frame. Jokic picked his spots from then on, while staying aggressive on the glass and as a facilitator. He finished as the team's second leading scorer on the evening. |

Christian Braun Christian Brain records 20/3/3/2 line vs. Suns
Sat, Oct 25, 2025, 5:49 PM
Christian Braun finished with 20 points (6-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and two steals against the Suns on Saturday.
Analysis: Braun struggled in the season opener, but he was able to bounce back with a strong performance on Saturday. He signed a five-year, $125 million extension just a few days before the start of the regular season, and this is the type of performance they were hoping to get out of him. If he can keep this up, he'll easily be able to make good on his eighth-round ADP in Yahoo! leagues. |
