Watson won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks. With Aaron Gordon (rest/calf) unavailable Saturday, Watson drew a spot start and finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during a 122-113 loss to the Wizards. Gordon is back in the starting lineup Sunday, so Watson will assume his usual reserve role. Watson has scored in double figures only once across nine appearances as a reserve.

Watson will come off the bench in Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors. Aaron Gordon will reclaim his starting spot, sending Watson to the bench Tuesday. The 22-year-old started in the club's last 11 outings, during which he averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks across 31.2 minutes per game.

Watson (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors. Watson continues to deal with a groin injury, but that hasn't impacted his availability. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games and has averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in that span. However, it's unclear if he'll remain in the starting unit now that Aaron Gordon (calf) is back.

Watson is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers with a right adductor strain. Watson has been dealing with an adductor strain for quite some time, but that hasn't prevented the third-year forward from making 10 starts in a row. The probable tag suggests he should remain in the starting unit, especially with Aaron Gordon (calf) listed as doubtful. Watson is averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game since moving to a starting role.

Watson (hip) will play Monday night against the Knicks. Watson was listed as probable due to a right adductor strain, and he's since been given the green light to suit up. He's averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in eight games since joining the starting lineup in place of Aaron Gordon (calf).
