Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 12:44 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is probable to play against the Warriors on Friday.
Analysis: Nnaji should be available, but that doesn't mean he's going to play. He hasn't seen the floor during Denver's last three games and has yet ot play 10 minutes in a game this season. |

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. |

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. |
|
Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (shoulder) available Monday
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:08 PM
Denver Nuggets
Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Johnson was initially probable for Monday's game, so the status upgrade was expected. He'll take on his usual role within the Nuggets' starting lineup. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray, Cameron Johnson probable Monday
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 10:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jamal Murray (calf) and Cameron Johnson (shoulder) are probable 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. However, neither has missed a game, and the probable tags suggest they will be cleared ahead of Monday's game. Look for Murray and Johnson to occupy their usual places in the starting lineup. |

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. |
