Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 12:08 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bruce Brown (knee) is probable to play against the Wizards on Saturday.
Analysis: Brown is expected to remain available despite a lingering knee issue. He should continue to play his typical role off the bench, which hasn't result in much fantasy production from him. |

NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is probable to play against the Wizards on Saturday.
Analysis: Murray is still managing ailments, but it isn't expected to impact his availability. He just scored 68 points in 24 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday and should have no issues remaining productive this weekend. |

Christian Braun Braun (ankle) limited to non-contact drills Friday
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 9:18 AM
Vinny Benedetto
Christian Braun (ankle) was limited to non-contact work during Friday's practice.
Analysis: After missing 23 games with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, Braun played three games before heading back to the sidelines. He's missed the last three games, and it's likely going to be a little while before he's back on the court. During Friday's practice, Braun was limited to non-contact work. Following the session, Nuggets head coach David Adelman said the team will be patient with Braun's return. The absence of Braun and Cameron Johnson (knee) is all the more reason to add Peyton Watson if he's available. |

Peyton Watson Peyton Watson scores 18 points in win over Mavs
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 6:32 PM
Peyton Watson added 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Watson followed up his 31-point outburst on Tuesday with another strong scoring performance on the second game of a back-to-back. The versatile forward was limited to only 30 minutes on the evening, but still produced enough on the offensive end to finish as the Nuggets' third-leading scorer. His pair of three-pointers on efficient shooting added to his fantasy basketball production, as well. Watson has enjoyed a nice stretch over the past few weeks and continues to have his best season as a professional. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon posts 22/6/3 line in win over Dallas
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 6:29 PM
Aaron Gordon amassed 22 points (8-of-12 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in the win over the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gordon provided fantasy managers with decent production on Wednesday, surpassing the 20-point mark on the evening while draining a trio of three-pointers. The veteran forward played only 29 minutes in the win but still finished as Denver's second-leading scorer. Surely he is capable of greater performances, but Wednesday's final line should serve as a nice floor on nights when the high production isn't required. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray goes for 33 points in win over Dallas
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 6:27 PM
Jamal Murray notched 33 points (13-of-24 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Analysis: On the second game of a back-to-back, Murray followed his 35-point performance with another 30-point outing. He shot efficiently overall from the floor before finishing with a game-high in points, and also stepped up as a facilitator to lead the Nuggets in assists. Murray has very quietly enjoyed a strong start to the calendar year, tallying at least 22 points and five assists in each of the five games he's appeared in. He's been a major reason why the Nuggets have remained successful in Nikola Jokic's absence. |

Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray (ankle) is available to play against the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Analysis: The Nuggets will have their star point guard on Wednesday when they look to win their third straight game. Murray's availability comes on the second game of a back-to-back, after scoring 35 points and dishing out nine assists against the Pelicans. He'll have a chance to log another strong performance against the Mavericks. |

Bruce Brown Bruce Brown (knee) available Wednesday vs. Dallas
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 2:35 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bruce Brown (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Brown is good to go after initially being questionable. There should be additional minutes available since Christian Braun is out, but Jamal Murray's availability mutes Brown's potential impact. |

Nikola Jokic Shams: Joki? (knee) resumes on-court workouts
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 10:25 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Nikola Joki? (knee) has resumed on-court workouts.
Analysis: Just over a week after the Nuggets' center had reportedly begun to do some spot shooting, he's now progressed to on-court workouts. According to Charania, Joki? is still on track for a late-January return to action, if not slightly ahead of schedule. For Tuesday's win over the Pelicans, Aaron Gordon served as the small-ball five, with Zeke Nnaji playing 22 minutes off the bench. Shallow-league managers can consider adding Gordon, since he's played 30 minutes or more in consecutive games for the first time since returning from his hamstring injury. |

Bruce Brown Bruce Brown (knee) questionable vs. Mavericks
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 9:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bruce Brown (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Dallas.
Analysis: With Jamal Murray questionable and Christian Braun out, Brown's potential absence could leave Denver shorthanded in the backcourt. Julian Strawther and Spencer Jones could see bumps in playing time if Brown is ultimately ruled out. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (ankle) questionable Wednesday
Wed, Jan 14, 2026, 9:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Mavericks.
Analysis: Murray's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his availability against Dallas. If Murray is unable to take the court, Jalen Pickett could replace him in the starting five. In that case, Pickett could be a useful streamer for fantasy managers. |

Peyton Watson Peyton Watson pours in 30/7/5/2/1 line vs. Pels
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 5:23 PM
Peyton Watson lit up the Pelicans with 31 points (11-of-16 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer on Tuesday.
Analysis: Watson's unreal hot stretch continued in this game. His 19-point game on Sunday ended a six-game streak of at least 20 points, but he followed that up with outing, which was one point shy of matching his season high for points. However, this outing was incredibly efficient, and he was able to contribute value across the board in category leagues. At 23 years old, Watson has vaulted his value in dynasty leagues over the past month and should be considered a must-roster player in redraft formats. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray drops 35/2/9/3 line vs. Pelicans
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 5:12 PM
Jamal Murray returned to the lineup on Tuesday and contributed 35 points (11-of-19 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists, three steals, one block and five three-pointers in a 122-116 win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Murray started off hot after missing Denver's last two games, scoring 11 points in the first quarter. He cooled off a bit in the second quarter, but he had a big second half with 22 points to deliver the win for the Nuggets. Murray is averaging a bunch of career highs this season, and he is now up to first-round value in nine-category leagues over the course of the season. He's certainly in line for the first All-Star appearance of his career. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (hamstring) available vs. Pelicans
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 1:06 PM
Denver Nuggets
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is available to play against the Pelicans on Tuesday.
Analysis: Gordon was initially probable for this game and has now officially been cleared. He returned to the starting lineup on Sunday and will likely remain in that role again. This is the first game of a back-to-back, so don't be surprised if Gordon is sidelined on Wednesday against the Mavericks. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) available Tuesday
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 1:06 PM
Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Murray is set to return after missing two games with a left ankle sprain and an illness. Jalen Pickett will return to the bench with the 28-year-old point guard back in the starting lineup. |
|
Christian Braun Christian Braun (ankle) out Tuesday vs. NOR
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Christian Braun (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Braun will miss a second straight game due to a sprained left ankle, which is the same one that sidelined him for nearly seven weeks earlier this season. Spencer Jones remained in the starting lineup for Sunday's win over the Bucks, playing 25 minutes. Braun's absence also frees up additional opportunities for Tim Hardaway Jr. off the bench. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (hamstring) probable Tuesday vs. NOP
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 11:36 AM
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Gordon had 23 points in 32 minutes in Sunday's win over the Bucks. While he's listed on the injury report for Tuesday against the Pelicans with a hamstring injury, he's likely to play given his probable listing. The 30-year-old power forward will be needed in this one with Nikola Jokic and Christian Braun sidelined and Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) questionable. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 11:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Murray has missed Denver's last two games due to a sprained left ankle and illness. Jalen Pickett has moved into the starting lineup and played well enough to merit being streamed in deep leagues when used in that role. |

Aaron Gordon Gordon leads Nuggets to victory over Bucks
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 4:46 PM
Aaron Gordon led the Nuggets to a 108-104 win over the Bucks on Sunday with 23 points (7-of-16 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), six rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes.
Analysis: Gordon calmly knocked down a pair of free throws in the final five seconds to effectively ice the game and complete his seventh 20-point performance of the season through 17 games. The 30-year-old center has seen a ton of scoring opportunities for the injury-plagued Nuggets, who have been playing without Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) of late. He's averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists through four contests since returning earlier this month from injury. The Nuggets are in line for a busy four-game week with matchups against the Pelicans, Mavericks, Wizards and Hornets. |
