Brendan Vogt
Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are expected to play in Tuesday's matchup with the Kings, according to Nuggets writer Brendan Vogt.
Analysis: Murray and Gordon sat out Saturday for the second leg of Denver's back-to-back set, but both are expected to suit up for Denver's upcoming matchup with Sacramento. If both are cleared to play, Jalen Pickett and Peyton Watson are expected to shift back to the bench after earning spot starts on Saturday. |

Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 2:30 AM
Nikola Joki? delivered 32 points (10-of-14 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), 14 rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 31 minutes, propelling the Nuggets to a 117-100 blowout win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Joki? picked up the slack for a short-handed Denver lineup with Jalen Pickett and Peyton Watson starting in place of an injured Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring), recording his third double-double in nine games this season ??" securing it with more than seven minutes left in the third quarter ??" as the Nuggets cruised to an easy win, leading by 13 heading into the final frame. The 30-year-old generational talent been the top overall fantasy performer so far, averaging 25 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and one block through nine games. At this point, Joki? averaging a triple-double isn't news ??" it's just gravity doing what gravity does. |

Zeke Nnaji Zeke Nnaji (ankle) available vs. Indiana
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 2:15 PM
Denver Nuggets
Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is available against the Pacers on Saturday.
Analysis: Nnaji was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn't surprising. Nnaji played four minutes in a blowout win on Friday, and while he could play more minutes with Aaron Gordon out, he won't play enough to provide any real value in the box score. |

Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Saturday.

Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray (calf) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Saturday.
Analysis: Murray is out for the second leg of this back-to-back, which should result in Bruce Brown entering the starting lineup. Jalen Pickett should fill out some of the reserve point guard minutes, but Nikola Jokic will continue to be the lead playmaker. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (hamstring) questionable Saturday
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 8:53 AM
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Gordon is managing a left hamstring injury and could miss Saturday's game against the Pacers. The 30-year-old power forward is off to a hot shooting start this season. Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji would be the primary candidates to see extra minutes in Gordon's absence. |

Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 8:49 AM
Jamal Murray (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Murray is dealing with left calf tightness, but hasn't missed a game yet this season. If he's out, Bruce Brown is next in line to pick up the slack as the backup point guard and would see a boost to his fantasy value. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? posts 26/9/9 line Friday vs. GSW
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 6:42 PM
Nikola Joki? finished Friday's win over the Warriors with 26 points (12-of-15 FGs), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Joki? needed only 29 minutes of game action to nearly tally a second straight double-double. He fell one rebound and one assist short of the feat, but utilized extremely efficient shooting to land his sixth straight game with at least 20 points. The Warriors, without Stephen Curry and Al Horford available for this game, struggled to keep pace with the high-powered Nuggets' offense, which featured six different players scoring in double figures, with Joki? leading the way. After a slower start to the season, he appears back in his MVP-like form. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray drops 23 points, five triples vs. GSW
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 6:40 PM
Jamal Murray amassed 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers in Friday's victory over the Warriors.
Analysis: Murray did a little bit of everything for the Nuggets in their win on Friday. He made an impact offensively as both a facilitator and scorer, with his production from beyond the arc being key to his point total. But even on the defensive end, the veteran guard showed up and collected three steals. Again, he impressed on both ends of the floor and remains a key piece to Denver's success on a nightly basis. |

Jonas Valanciunas Jonas Valan?i?nas adds 16 points Friday off bench
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 6:38 PM
Jonas Valan?i?nas notched 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in the win over the Warriors on Friday.
Analysis: Valan?i?nas logged his most productive line as a member of the Nuggets on Friday. He scored a season high in points and hit his first couple of threes of the season during his 16 minutes of game action. The veteran center has served as a nice depth piece for Denver in his first season with the team. He likely won't move the needle in fantasy basketball leagues, but could continue to play an important role for the Nuggets throughout the season. |

Denver Nuggets
Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Nnaji is officially available after being listed as probable on the Nuggets' initial injury report. However, this does not mean he'll play rotation minutes. Fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon has 24 points in win over Heat
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 5:37 PM
Aaron Gordon had 24 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer against the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gordon dropped 50 points in the Nuggets' season-opening overtime loss to the Warriors. The 30-year-old power forward failed to record even 20 points in the next four games, but has now bounced back with at least 20 points in the last two games. Gordon's shooting seems to be improved this season and the Nuggets are in no position to curb his usage on offense this year. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? has triple-double in win over Heat
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 5:32 PM
Nikola Joki? had 33 points (12-of-18 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 15 rebounds, 16 assists, three steals and two three-pointers in the Nuggets' 122-112 victory over the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: Joki? is back with a triple-double after two games where he failed to record a triple-double. Those two games of course came after the 30-year-old center began the season with a streak of four consecutive games with a triple-double. Joki? is the top player in fantasy until someone takes the crown from him, though Victor Wembanyama and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are worthy adversaries. |

Julian Strawther Julian Strawther (back) available Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 2:16 PM
Denver Nuggets
A late addition to the Nuggets' injury report, Strawther is available to contribute off the bench. However, he's averaged fewer than six minutes per game this season, so his availability will not impact fantasy basketball.

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (calf) available Wednesday vs. Miami
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 2:13 PM
Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: As expected, Murray is available after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. He'll occupy his usual place in the Nuggets' starting lineup, while Bruce Brown misses out on a potential boost to his fantasy value. |
|
Julian Strawther Julian Strawther (back) probable vs. Miami
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 7:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Julian Strawther (back) is probable to play against the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: Strawther wasn't on the initial injury report, and back pain isn't expected to keep him out of the lineup against Miami. Strawther has played 5.6 minutes per game this season, so his status won't have an impact on Denver's rotation. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (calf) probable Wednesday vs. Miami
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 12:45 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Murray is still experiencing tightness in his left calf, but he has yet to miss a game this season. He should take on his usual job as the Nuggets' starting point guard, with Bruce Brown waiting in the wings to pick up the slack if Murray cannot play. |

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. |
