Top Julian Strawther News

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Plays well with 13 points

    Strawther finished with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 130-129 win over the Kings.

    Christian Braun missed his first game of the season due to lower back spasms, but the guard is considered day-to-day. Strawther has upside like he showcased Monday, and he could be on the streaming radar again if Braun is unable to play against Portland on Thursday. For the season, Strawther is shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 39.0 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Leads bench in blowout victory

    Strawther closed Sunday's 141-111 win over the Hawks with 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

    Strawther led the bench in scoring while posting his most efficient outing with more than five shot attempts on the season. The 22-year-old forward has provided a valuable spark off the bench this season, and in the club's last two games with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, Strawther has totaled 31 points (12-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks over 55 total minutes.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Ready to play Sunday

    Strawther (wrist/ankle) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

    Despite being listed on the injury report with a right wrist sprain and an ankle strain, Strawther has been cleared to play Sunday. The 22-year-old should see ample playing time off the bench with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined. In his last five outings, Strawther has averaged 9.8 points, 1.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 51.4 percent from the field across 19.8 minutes per game.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Likely to play Sunday

    Strawther is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks due to a right wrist sprain and an ankle strain.

    The 22-year-old wing should suit up for Sunday's matchup despite injuries to his wrist and ankle, and with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined again, Strawther will likely see an uptick in playing time. Strawther has yet to miss a contest this season, and in his last five outings, he averaged 9.8 points, 1.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 51.4 percent from the field across 19.8 minutes per game.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Steps up with 18 points off bench

    Strawther registered 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Wizards.

    With the Nuggets missing starters Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (calf) on Saturday, Strawther stepped up off the bench with 18 points to go with a full stat line. The 22-year-old former first-rounder is shooting a career-high 38.9 percent from beyond the arc over 21 games in 2024-25, and he'd be worth streaming in deep fantasy leagues as a decent source of three-pointers if Denver remains shorthanded for Sunday's matchup with a Hawks club that is giving up the most threes per game (16.2) in the league this year.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Ties season-high scoring mark

    Strawther finished Sunday's 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies with 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.

    Strawther tied the best scoring mark of his career in this loss to the Grizzlies, and the second-year forward is trending in the right direction following a slow start to the season. Even though Strawther remains an option off the bench, he's scored in double digits in four of his last seven outings. That kind of output could eventually translate to a bigger role in the second unit, as the Nuggets are thin when it comes to bench depth. Strawther is averaging 10.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game off the bench in November.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Sets career-high six dimes in win

    Strawther amassed nine points (3-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 victory over Oklahoma City.

    Strawther has seen an increased role over the past three games in the absence of Jamal Murray (concussion). Even when Murray returns, Strawther may be asked to do a bit more, given the weeks-long recuperation of Aaron Gordon (calf). Strawther's past three performances have been a mixed bag, but it's come out relatively well in the wash, with averages of 13.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.0 minutes.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Notches 13 points

    Strawther supplied 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 121-119 victory over the Raptors.

    This was Strawther's largest workload of the season, and it comes on the heels of his 19-point effort Saturday against the Jazz. Aaron Gordon left this game after four minutes with a calf issue, and Strawther and Peyton Watson combined to score a total of 29 points as a result. Both players will be on the streaming radar if Gordon ends up missing additional time.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Minor impact in win

    Strawther racked up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime victory over the Nets.

    Strawther has been a consistent part of the rotation through Denver's first four games, although his offensive volume has been inconsequential. He has connected on five of nine three-point attempts to start the season, however.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Not in starting lineup

    Strawther is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Strawther will return to the bench since the Nuggets will feature their regular starting unit, which includes Jamal Murray and Christian Braun in the backcourt. Strawther is expected to open the regular season in a bench role for Denver, limiting his fantasy upside considerably across most formats.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Goes for 33 points off bench

    Strawther recorded 33 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block across 30 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 132-126 preseason win over the Timberwolves.

    Strawther will open the 2024-25 regular season in a bench role, as Christian Braun is penciled in as the starter in the backcourt alongside Jamal Murray, but Strawther will certainly put his name in the conversation for a bigger role with more performances such as this one. Strawther looked particularly dangerous from three-point range, and keeping that up in the regular season will undoubtedly lead to a more significant role due to the Nuggets' lack of shooters.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Scores 12 points Tuesday

    Strawther finished with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason loss to the Thunder.

    Strawther got the start next to Christian Braun in the backcourt since neither Jamal Murray (knee) nor Russell Westbrook (rest) were available. While Strawther was one of four starters who scored in double digits in this thumping loss, his performance didn't turn heads by any means. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's departure has opened up opportunities for Strawther, who hasn't capitalized yet. He seems set to open the season in a backup role, limiting his fantasy upside.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Starting vs. OKC

    Strawther will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder.

    Jamal Murray is out after tweaking his knee Sunday, allowing the Nuggets to take an extended look at Strawther in the starting five. The 22-year-old is expected to back up Christian Braun at shooting guard, though he could end up in the starting lineup if injuries arise in the regular season.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Strong showing off bench Sunday

    Strawther posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 30 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.

    Nikola Jokic turned heads with his play after ending just one assist shy of a triple-double, but the former Gonzaga standout was Denver's second-best player right after the star big man. Strawther, who was selected with the 29th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, should carve a decent role off the bench in his sophomore year in the league. The Nuggets will open their regular season against the Thunder on Oct. 24.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Staying in Denver through 2025-26

    The Nuggets exercised Strawther's $2.67 million team option for 2025-26 on Thursday, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

    The No. 29 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Strawther had a limited role in his rookie season, averaging 4.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 10.9 minutes across 50 appearances. However, the departure of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should open up more playing time on the wing for Strawther in 2024-25.

  • Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Scores 17 points

    Strawther produced 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes of Sunday's 130-104 preseason loss to Boston.

    Michael Porter had the night off for rest, allowing Strawther to step into the starting five. He certainly turned some heads, and it appears he's ready to push for a rotation spot after barely touching the floor during his rookie season. The departure of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should open up more opportunities for Strawther in Year 2.
