Christian Braun Christian Braun posts 18/6/4 line Wednesday in win
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 6:35 PM
Christian Braun added 18 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in the win over the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Like many other Nuggets starters, Braun had a productive evening against the Jazz. He logged 31 minutes and shot the ball efficiently, produced on the glass, and also made contributions as a passer. While Wednesday's final line wasn't a significant one, Braun was able to land his second consecutive double-digit scoring performance. His streak could extend to three games on Saturday against the Spurs. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? posts triple-double in win over Utah
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 6:30 PM
Nikola Joki? finished Wednesday's win over the Jazz with 15 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 17 rebounds and 12 assists.
Analysis: Joki? only needed 33 minutes to add to his collection of triple-doubles. Interestingly, he finished with more rebounds than points, and although he had double-digit assists, he gave the ball away five times. Still, the former Finals MVP ended with a dominant line, which is expected of him at this point. Fantasy managers will hope Joki? can stay productive on Saturday against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray erupts for 10 threes in win over Utah
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 6:25 PM
Jamal Murray amassed 37 points (12-of-26 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, two blocks and 10 three-pointers in the win over the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Despite making fewer than half of his 26 field goal attempts, Murray drained double-digit three-point shots for the second time this season. Five of his triples came in a red-hot opening quarter, while his final three came in the fourth period. Murray also made an impact with his passing and rebounds, but he was most effective tonight from beyond the arc. The Nuggets face the Spurs on Saturday, which is when the veteran guard will look to stay in rhythm. |

Aaron Gordon DEN starts Murray, Braun, Johnson, Gordon, Joki?
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 2:45 PM
NBA Lineups
Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Joki? will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Gordon is back after missing Sunday's win over the Warriors, and he'll be in the starting lineup. His return means that Peyton Watson will come off the bench. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (calf) available Wednesday vs. Utah
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 2:06 PM
Denver Nuggets
Aaron Gordon (calf) is available to play on Wednesday against the Jazz.
Analysis: Gordon will return from a one-game absence to face the Jazz. The veteran forward has battled injuries throughout the season, but is currently healthy and has a couple of weeks left to gear up for another strong playoff run. He may not explode for huge numbers, but he will likely be an impactful player for fantasy purposes on Wednesday. |

Zeke Nnaji Zeke Nnaji (hip) remains out vs. Utah
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 12:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Zeke Nnaji (hip) has been ruled out against the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Nnaji exited early on Sunday after taking on extra minutes with Aaron Gordon (calf) sidelined, and that hip injury will keep him out against Utah. Gordon is back, so Nnaji likely wouldn't have seen the floor if he was available. |
|
Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (calf) probable vs. Utah
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 12:53 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Gordon (calf) is probable to play against the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gordon was a late addition to the injury report on Sunday and ended up missing their matchup with the Warriors. Peyton Watson got the starting nod, but he will likely head back to the bench with Gordon expected back. |
|
Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (back) off injury report vs. Utah
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 12:50 PM
NBA Injury Report
Cameron Johnson (back) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Johnson exited early on Sunday, but that won't keep him sidelined against Utah. He'll occupy his typical starting spot, which means Julian Strawther won't receive any boost. |
|
Zeke Nnaji Zeke Nnaji (hip) limited to eight minutes vs. GSW
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 6:47 PM
Katy Winge
Zeke Nnaji (hip) grabbed two rebounds in Sunday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Nnaji, who picked up a few additional minutes due to Aaron Gordon (calf) being out, played just eight minutes in Sunday's victory. A hip impingement led to Nnaji being shut down for the rest of the night. The Nuggets play two games in Week 23, with the first scheduled for Wednesday. Nnaji's absence is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball, especially if Gordon is available. |

Cameron Johnson Cameron Johnson (back) exits after 19 minutes
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 6:44 PM
Cameron Johnson (back) finished Sunday's win over the Warriors with six points (2-of-5 FGs), one rebound, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: After appearing to grab his side, Johnson departed for the Nuggets' locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's game. It was eventually announced that the forward was dealing with back spasms. While Johnson did return to the bench to rejoin his teammates, he did not check back into the game. The Nuggets are off until Wednesday; if Johnson is not available, Julian Strawther could sneak into the back end of the rotation. |

Tim Hardaway Tim Hardaway Jr. hits four triples, scores 16
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 6:43 PM
Tim Hardaway Jr. recorded 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Denver received 43 points from its bench on Sunday, with Hardaway and Bruce Brown (15 points, one rebound, two steals and three three-pointers) leading the way. THJ has made at least four three-pointers in three of his last four games, providing consistent production off the bench. He remains a player most valuable to managers needing points and three-pointers, but the two steals on Sunday were a nice bonus. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray records 20 points, seven assists
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 6:43 PM
Jamal Murray amassed 20 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Denver's tandem of Murray and Nikola Joki? was outstanding on Sunday, helping the Nuggets pull away from the Warriors in the second half. Murray, who finished with a complete stat line, has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Nuggets are scheduled to play just two games in Week 23, which is unfortunate for those rostering Murray with their eyes on a league title. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? posts 25/15/8/1 line vs. Warriors
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 6:42 PM
Nikola Joki? accounted for 25 points (10-of-20 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 15 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Joki? finished Sunday's 116-93 victory two assists shy of a triple-double, shooting 50 percent from the field. The three-time MVP has recorded a triple-double in five consecutive games, matching his longest run of the season. The negative for fantasy managers is that the Nuggets play two games in Week 23. While Joki? can certainly provide elite fantasy value in those games, it would be a lot better if Denver were scheduled to play three or four games. |

Peyton Watson DEN starts Murray, Braun, Johnson, Watson, Joki?
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 3:38 PM
NBA Lineups
Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson, Peyton Watson and Nikola Joki? will start Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: With Aaron Gordon (calf) sidelined, Watson will start Sunday's game. However, he will be restricted to 20 minutes, meaning there will also be time for Spencer Jones to make an impact off the bench. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (calf) downgraded to out vs. Warriors
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 2:28 PM
Bennett Durando
Aaron Gordon (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: A late addition to the Nuggets' injury report, Gordon is now officially out. Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones are potential replacements, but the former will be restricted to 20 minutes. As a result, Jones may be the choice to start. |
|
Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (calf) questionable vs. Warriors
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 1:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Gordon (calf) is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The Nuggets' clean injury report picked up a blemish, as Gordon is now questionable due to tightness in his left calf. Given the lower-body injuries he has dealt with this season, it's possible that the Nuggets forward does not play. If Gordon sits, Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones are potential replacements in the starting lineup. |

Jamal Murray Jamal Murray pours in 31/6/14 line vs. Utah
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 6:57 PM
Jamal Murray lit up the Jazz on Friday with 31 points (9-of-17 FGs), six rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Murray wasn't able to match his 53-point performance from Wednesday's win, but he was able to stay hot to help push Denver's win streak to five games. It has been an incredible season for him, and he now ranks inside the top 10 in nine-category leagues over the course of the season. He'll look to keep it going against the Warriors on Sunday to wrap up the week, though they only play two games next week, which will limit his fantasy impact. |

Nikola Jokic Joki? stays hot with 33/15/12 line vs. Utah
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 6:50 PM
Nikola Joki? led the Nuggets with 33 points (13-of-16 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 15 rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, two three-pointers and seven turnovers in a 135-129 win over the Jazz on Friday.
Analysis: Joki? recorded his fourth-straight double-double in this game, though this was the first one where he scored at least 30 points, and he was incredibly efficient while going about it. That was enough to give Denver a fifth straight win, and they're getting closer to catching up to the Lakers for third place in the West. Joki? will look to stay hot in their final game of the week against the Warriors on Sunday, though they only play two games next week. |

Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon (hamstring) absent from injury report
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 1:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Gordon is back after sitting out Wednesday's win over the Mavericks. His return means that Spencer Jones will head to the bench, eliminating Jones' streaming value. |

Nikola Jokic Nikola Joki? has 23/21/19 triple-double in win
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 6:43 PM
Nikola Joki? had 23 points (8-of-19 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 21 rebounds, 19 assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Joki? recorded his 194th triple-double of his career against the Mavericks on Wednesday. The 31-year-old center was coming off a massive triple-double against the Suns on Tuesday, giving him 46 points, 38 rebounds and 36 assists combined over the last two days. Joki? is still the top player in fantasy when healthy. His managers will also benefit from the Nuggets having two more games this week. |
