Nikola Jokic Joki? (wrist) upgraded to available vs. Minnesota
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 1:15 PM
Denver Nuggets
Nikola Joki? (wrist) is available to play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Joki? was initially listed as questionable, but he'll be good to go in this one. The injury is to his non-dominant wrist, so it shouldn't be a factor in this game. Joki? had 55 points in his last outing and will look to provide an encore in this one. |

NBA Injury Report
Cameron Johnson (biceps) has been ruled out against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Johnson exited early from Denver's last game and will remain sidelined on Saturday. Peyton Watson should slide into the starting lineup in his place, though there should be extra minutes for Bruce Brown as well with Christian Braun (ankle) set to miss at least six weeks. |

Nikola Jokic Joki? (wrist) questionable vs. Minnesota
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 12:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Joki? (wrist) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Joki? has been on an absolute tear recently, having scored 90 points over his last two games. This is an injury to his non-dominant wrist, but if he ends up missing this game, Jonas Valanciunas should start, with Zeke Nnaji filling out the reserve minutes. |

Christian Braun Shams: Braun (ankle) to miss at least six weeks
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 11:56 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Christian Braun (ankle) will be re-evaluated in six weeks.
Analysis: Braun is dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old shooting guard left Wednesday's game against the Clippers with the injury. With Braun set to miss significant time, Tim Hardaway Jr. could move into the starting lineup and should be rostered in most formats going forward. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray posts 15/5/4 stat line vs. Clippers
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 8:47 PM
Jamal Murray recorded 15 points (5-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, four steals and one three-pointer in the win over the Clippers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Murray didn't shoot the ball well on Wednesday, but was still one of Denver's top scorers on the evening. His biggest contributions came on the defensive end, however, where he logged a season-high in steals. Through the first few weeks of the season, the veteran guard has put up similar averages to what he's produced throughout the last five years. He remains one of the Nuggets' most reliable players. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon has 18 points, five rebounds vs. LAC
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 8:38 PM
Aaron Gordon notched 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers against the Clippers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gordon had an unspectacular, but somewhat productive night against the Clippers on Wednesday. He was one of four Nuggets players to score in double figures, and he finished tied for second in rebounds. Not much was asked of Gordon on a night in which Nikola Jokic scored 55 points and 18-of-23 shooting. Yet, he finished with decent production from a fantasy basketball standpoint, regardless. A more competitive game on Saturday against the Timberwolves could potentially lead to a more productive game from Gordon. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Jokic erupts for 55 points vs. Clippers
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 8:28 PM
Nikola Jokic added 55 points (18-of-23 FGs, 14-of-16 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers on Wednesday against the Clippers.
Analysis: Jokic wasted no time putting the ball in the basket on Wednesday ??" he set the tone early with 25 first-quarter points and remained efficient the rest of the way before finishing with his first 50-point game of the season. The former Finals MVP punished the Clippers inside and outside the arc, and got to the foul line frequently, as well. He's been tremendous after a slower start to the season, and has Denver performing like a legitimate title contender. |

Christian Braun Braun (ankle), Johnson (arm) won't return vs. LAC
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 6:12 PM
Denver Nuggets
Christian Braun (ankle) and Cam Johnson (arm) have been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Johnson and Braun both exited the court with injuries during the first half against the Clippers before being ruled out. They were replaced by Tim Hardaway Jr. and Spencer Jones to begin the second half, who could each see upticks in production should either of Barun or Jonson be forced to miss time. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon available Wednesday
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 3:37 PM
Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Murray and Gordon were initially probable for Wednesday's game, so the status upgrades were expected. The Nuggets will likely stick with their usual starters, but it should be noted that Bruce Brown was on the floor to close out Tuesday's win over the Kings, replacing Cameron Johnson. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon probable Wednesday
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 10:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: As was the case ahead of Tuesday's win over the Kings, Murray and Gordon are considered probable for Wednesday night. That tag suggests both will ultimately be cleared to play. While Murray played 37 minutes on Tuesday, Gordon only played 30. Bruce Brown and Peyton Watson would benefit the most if Murray or Gordon were to be ruled out. |

Bruce Brown Bruce Brown scores 14 points in 27 minutes vs. SAC
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 7:44 PM
Bruce Brown recorded 14 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Brown, whose production had been modest in his first nine games, had his best showing of the season on Tuesday. He established a new season-high point total and matched his high in rebounds. However, what was most notable about Tuesday's result was Brown being part of the closing lineup, with the struggling Cameron Johnson (five points, two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes) relegated to the bench. While neither player is providing top-200 value in eight-cat formats, Brown's production has been superior to Johnson's. That's something to watch moving forward. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray drops 23 points, eight assists
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 7:43 PM
Jamal Murray accounted for 23 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Murray was back in the Nuggets' lineup after sitting out Saturday's win over the Pacers with a calf issue, playing 37 minutes. And he was at his best in the fourth quarter, scoring ten of the Nuggets' 37 points. Thus far, Murray has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (36) by a round in 12-team setups. Wednesday's game against the Clippers could be an issue for Murray, even if there were no signs of the calf injury giving him any trouble during Tuesday's victory. Consider him questionable for Wednesday night. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon scores 17 points vs. Sacramento
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 7:43 PM
Aaron Gordon amassed 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Back in the Nuggets' lineup after missing Saturday's win over the Pacers with a hamstring injury, Gordon played 30 minutes on Tuesday without any issues. What may be of interest to fantasy managers is how he's shot the ball from deep since going 10-of-11 in Denver's season opener. Gordon has gone 11-of-34 since that night, including 2-of-4 on Tuesday. While the percentage isn't great, he's remained confident in the shot, and opposing teams have been forced to respect it more. That's good news for the Nuggets and those who have Gordon rostered. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? posts 35/15/7/2 line vs. Sacramento
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 7:41 PM
Nikola Joki? tallied 35 points (16-of-19 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 15 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Tuesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Joki? has scored at least 30 points in four of his last five games, a stretch that includes two double-doubles and two triple-doubles. He's been the best player in fantasy basketball for quite some time and has shown no signs of slowing down. The only concern for fantasy managers during Week 4 may be the schedule. Denver plays twice more, beginning with Wednesday's game against the Clippers. However, even that may not be an issue, as Joki? can put up numbers in three games that most other players can't replicate in four. |

Denver Nuggets
Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Murray and Gordon were initially probable for Tuesday's game, so the status upgrades were expected. The Nuggets will stick with their usual starting five, with Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson and Nikola Joki? rounding out the quintet. |

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. |

Nikola Jokic Joki? drops 32/14/14 triple-double to beat Pacers
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 Aaron Gordon (hamstring) ruled out vs. Pacers
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 2:13 PM
Denver Nuggets
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Saturday.
Analysis: AG will be sidelined for the second night of this back-to-back. Peyton Watson should slide into the starting unit for this game, though there could be a few minutes for Zeke Nnaji or Hunter Tyson off the bench. |
|
Jamal Murray Jamal Murray (calf) ruled out vs. Indiana
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 2:09 PM
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. |
