Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Starting Friday
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with Atlanta.
This will be the first start of the season for Tyson, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jalen Pickett, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson and DaRon Holmes. Tyson put up 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) over 19 minutes during Monday's win over the 76ers, so he's on the radar as a potential deep league streamer with the starter designation.

Nuggets' Jalen Pickett: Starting sans Murray
Pickett will start against the Hawks on Friday.
With Jamal Murray (ankle) sidelined, Pickett will get the starting nod for the fourth time since Dec. 31. In four starts so far this season, the 26-year-old guard has averaged 12.5 points, 2.8 assists and 2.3 rebounds across 26.5 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Available to play
Gordon (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Despite Jamal Murray (ankle) being unavailable for Friday's game, Gordon will continue to work in a reserve role to conserve his minutes. However, Gordon should see an uptick in usage Friday night, so even with a minutes restriction, he's an attractive option in daily fantasy leagues.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Available Friday
Braun (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Braun will shed his probable tag and make his third appearance following a 23-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. The 24-year-old shooting guard has averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game over his last two outings.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Won't play Friday
Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Hawks.
With both Murray and Nikola Jokic (knee) unavailable, it'll be interesting to see if Aaron Gordon's minutes restriction is lifted. Gordon has come off the bench the past two games, but it would make sense for him to start, as the Nuggets will be desperate for offense. Tim Hardaway could also see plenty of shots falling his way and Jalen Pickett should be more involved as well. Murray's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Bucks.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Cleared to play Friday
Brown (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Brown is working through right knee inflammation, but the issue won't prevent him from playing Friday. The veteran wing could enter the Nuggets' starting lineup -- or at least see more minutes off the bench -- due to the absence of Spencer Jones (ankle/illness).

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Not playing Friday
Jones (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Jones has been working through both left ankle inflammation and an illness. The duo of issues is enough for the second-year forward to be sidelined for Friday's contest, and his next chance to play is Sunday against the Bucks. Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown (knee) are the most likely candidates to enter the Nuggets' starting lineup in Jones' absence.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Downgraded to doubtful
Jones (ankle, illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Hawks.
The Nuggets previously considered Jones questionable, but now it sounds like the forward isn't going to be able to play Friday. Jones has been a full-time starter since Nov. 22, so it's likely that either Tim Hardaway or Bruce Brown (knee) will jump into the first unit against Atlanta.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Downgraded to questionable
Murray (ankle, illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Murray was previously considered probable with his nagging left ankle sprain, but now he's dealing with an illness on top of it. Presumably, a decision will likely be made after Murray goes through warmups. If he's unable to play, the Nuggets will likely lean on Jalen Pickett.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Probable vs. Hawks
Brown is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to right knee inflammation.
It doesn't sound like the issue will be significant enough to keep the swingman out of action. Brown has averaged 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.9 minutes per tilt across his last 12 games.
... See More ... See Less -
Nuggets' Christian Braun: Expects to play Friday
Braun is listed as probable for Friday's game against Atlanta due to a left ankle sprain.
Braun logged 30 minutes in just his second game since Nov. 12, so his name on the injury report appears to be cautionary considering he's fresh off an ankle injury. The team should have official word on his availability closer to tipoff.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Probable for Friday
Gordon (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game versus the Hawks.
Gordon should be good to go for Friday's game, and it'll be interesting to see how much longer the reserve role and minutes restrictions continue. Check back closer to Friday's tip for official confirmation on Gordon's status.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Iffy for Friday
Jones (ankle, illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Jones is dealing with both left ankle inflammation and an illness. If he cannot play, Bruce Brown (knee), who's expected to suit up, could enter the starting lineup, while Tim Hardaway and Jalen Pickett would be in line for a bump in minutes off the bench Friday.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Back on injury report
Murray is probable for Friday's game against Atlanta due to a left ankle sprain.
Murray's addition to the injury report is likely just a precaution, as he was able to take the court Wednesday after initially being listed as probable with the ankle issue. If all goes according to plan, expect Denver to clear the point guard closer to tipoff.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Drills two triples
Gordon ended with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 win over the Celtics.
Gordon is getting back up to speed after returning from a hamstring injury, and he took another step in the right direction Wednesday night. He's scored in double figures off the bench in each of his first two games back and saw his workload increase to 23 minutes in Boston. It's unclear when Gordon will be released from a minutes limit, but Peyton Watson should continue to benefit until that time comes.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Adds double figures off bench
Nnaji provided 12 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 win over the Celtics.
Nnaji struggled to find his shooting touch in this one, but he still managed to score in double figures for the third time in four games by getting to the charity stripe. He saw a healthy dose of playing time Wednesday despite Aaron Gordon being active off the bench for the second time in three games. However, Nnaji could begin to see his opportunities dwindle once Gordon returns to the starting lineup.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Early exit Wednesday
Jones (foot) didn't return after exiting Wednesday's game against Boston in the first half.
Jones accumulated two points (0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over nine minutes before exiting with a sore left foot. The issue doesn't appear to be anything significant. His next chance to play will come Friday against Atlanta.
