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. |

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 (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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Tim Hardaway Hardaway scores 25 points in win over Bucks
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 4:42 PM
Tim Hardaway Jr. went off for 25 points (8-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: It's no secret that Denver has been dealing with an avalanche of injury issues to their superstars and supporting cast this season. Somehow, they haven't reached a tipping point yet, despite losing Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) earlier this week. Hardaway provided a spark off the bench in this one, knocking down 5-of-9 attempts from beyond the arc to notch his second 25-point effort in his last four games. He offers some appeal as a streaky scoring threat in deeper fantasy leagues. |

Peyton Watson Watson stays hot with 19 points in win over Bucks
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 4:39 PM
Peyton Watson stayed hot with 19 points (7-of-19 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 39 minutes in Sunday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: Watson's emergence as a viable fantasy contributor has been a welcome development on an injury-riddled Nuggets squad that is missing several key contributors. The 23-year-old's breakthrough continued in this one as he's topped 19 points for the seventh consecutive game since December 31. He's worthy of a roster spot in all fantasy leagues based on his recent production. |

Analysis: Gordon is good to go after initially being probable for Sunday's game. The Nuggets have kept the forward on a minutes restriction since his return, and that's unlikely to change against the Bucks.

Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 1:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
Christian Braun (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Braun was initially probable for Sunday's game, which makes the status downgrade somewhat surprising. His absence will likely result in Bruce Brown returning to the starting lineup. While he hasn't as impactful in fantasy basketball as he was in his first stint with the Nuggets, Brown is worth streaming in this spot. |

NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

NBA Injury Report
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Gordon played 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Hawks and should take on a similar workload on Sunday. The Nuggets have taken a conservative approach to his playing time, with Hunter Tyson starting on Friday since Spencer Jones (ankle, illness) was out. |
|
Christian Braun Christian Braun (ankle) probable Sunday vs. MIL
Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 1:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Christian Braun (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Braun is back on the injury report, but the probable tag suggests that he'll be able to play. However, his minutes may be managed by the Nuggets' coaching staff due to the time missed with a sprained ankle. |

Peyton Watson Watson continues ascendance with 25 points in loss
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 6:10 PM
Peyton Watson went off for 25 points (9-of-19 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block over 34 minutes in Friday's lopsided loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: The avalanche of injuries to key contributors in Denver has created an opportunity for Watson to put together a mini-breakout, scoring 20-plus points in six consecutive games since December 31. The 23-year-old forward recorded his second double-double of the season with Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) sitting out. He's experienced a noticeable uptick in creation possessions and increased scoring duties over the last two weeks, averaging 21.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks over eight games during that span. |

Aaron Gordon Gordon notches 14 points, nine boards in loss
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 6:09 PM
Aaron Gordon posted 14 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds and five assists over 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's lopsided defeat at the hands of the Hawks.
Analysis: Gordon hasn't skipped a beat in three games since returning from a lengthy absence recovering from a hamstring injury, averaging 15.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.0 assists over 23 minutes during that span. The Nuggets are going to keep a governor on his workload for the immediate future but he'll continue providing his usual blend of points and rebounds for fantasy purposes. |
|
Hunter Tyson DEN starts Pickett, Braun, Watson, Tyson, Holmes
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 2:41 PM
Brad Rowland
Jalen Pickett, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, Hunter Tyson and DaRon Holmes II will start Friday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: The Nuggets won't have Jamal Murray or Spencer Jones for Friday's game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pickett and Tyson will fill the voids, with the latter's inclusion an indication that Aaron Gordon remains under a strict minutes restriction. While fantasy managers don't need to consider streaming Tyson, Pickett is worth the risk in deeper formats. |
