Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Strong line in win
Rotowire
Gordon logged 23 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 108-104 win over the Bucks.
Gordon was listed as probable for this contest, but he moved into the starting lineup with a position change -- he operated as a small-ball center with Zeke Nnaji backing him up. Related to this, DaRon Holmes was a healthy scratch. Gordon is still managing some soreness in his hamstring, so a maintenance day could be on the table for one game of the upcoming back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Gordon will start against the Bucks on Sunday, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.
The veteran forward will return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in each of his last three appearances following a 19-game absence due to a right hamstring strain. As a result, DaRon Holmes will come off the bench. It's unclear if Gordon is still on a minutes restriction, though he has averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 22.7 minutes per game over his last three outings.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Listed as probable for Sunday
Rotowire
Gordon is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a right hamstring strain.
Gordon was probable before Friday's game against the Hawks but ended up playing and posting 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes. He's yet to play more than 25 minutes since returning to the rotation on Jan. 4 after missing 19 contests between Nov. 22 and Jan. 2 due to the same right hamstring strain he's managing now. That said, the probable tag suggests Gordon should be able to play and handle the same workload he's been managing of late.

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' Aaron Gordon: Drills two triples
Rotowire
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.

Gordon (hamstring) will play Wednesday in Boston.
Gordon sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday, but he'll be back in action Wednesday evening. Gordon will again come off the bench in an effort to monitor his minutes, so while he should be activated in season-long formats, he's a risky target in daily fantasy leagues.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Probable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Gordon is trending in the right direction after previously carrying a questionable tag. During Monday's game versus the 76ers, Gordon was held out for injury maintenance for the second leg of the back-to-back set. With Gordon expected back, guys like Peyton Watson, Spencer Jones and Hunter Tyson will likely see their fantasy appeal take a hit.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Gordon is out for Monday's game against the 76ers due to right hamstring injury management.
Gordon's absence comes as little surprise after he made his first appearance since Nov. 21 in Sunday's game against the Nets. He looked sharp in the 127-115 loss, finishing with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes off the bench. Though Gordon will take a seat for the second leg of a back-to-back set, he'll presumably return to action Wednesday in Boston.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Posts 20 points off bench in return
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) racked up 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.
The Nuggets opted to have Gordon come off the bench in his first appearance since Nov. 21, as he missed several weeks due to a hamstring strain, though the veteran forward picked up right where he left off before going down. Gordon is now averaging 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per tilt through 14 regular-season games, shooting 53.3 percent from the field. Given DaRon Holmes' lack of experience as a starter, it wouldn't be surprising if Gordon soon made his way back into the first unit at center to plug the hole left behind by Nikola Jokic's (knee) absence.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game in Brooklyn.
Gordon hasn't played since Nov. 21, so he'll be eased back into things in his first game back with a reserve role and some minutes restrictions, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him skip Monday's game in Philadelphia. With Gordon back in the mix, Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones' minutes could dip.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable for Sunday

Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Gordon hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, but he joined the Nuggets on the road trip and is due back any day now. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so he may only play in one of these games if he gets the green light.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: May return during road trip
Rotowire
Nuggets head coach David Adelman said Saturday that Gordon (hamstring) could return at some point during the back end of the team's ongoing seven-game road trip, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Gordon hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, but he joined the Nuggets on the road trip and was able to complete a pregame workout prior to Saturday's 127-126 loss in Orlando, per Winge. The 12th-year forward will remain out for Monday's game in Miami and is unlikely to be available for Wednesday's game in Toronto, but based on Adelman's comments, a return in the first week of January would appear to be a realistic outcome.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Return not imminent
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is not expected to return before Christmas, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
The Nuggets announced back on Nov. 23 that Gordon suffered a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, and they said he would be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks. For that reason, a return before Christmas was highly unlikely anyway. For now, fantasy managers should plan to be without Gordon until the early part of January. Meanwhile, Peyton Watson will likely remain heavily involved for Denver.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Set to miss significant time
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Gordon suffered a Grade 2 right hamstring strain early in Friday's game against the Rockets and will be sidelined for at least a month. The forward had been impressive to open the regular season, averaging 18.8 points and 5.9 rebounds on 53.2 percent shooting and 44.4 percent from three across 13 games. His extended absence is likely to push Peyton Watson into an expanded role on the wing.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Expected to miss time
Rotowire
Nuggets head coach David Adelman said after Friday's 112-109 win over the Rockets that he expects Gordon (hamstring) to miss some time, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports.
Gordon departed in the second quarter with a right hamstring strain, finishing the night with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in three minutes. Though the severity of Gordon's hamstring injury won't be confirmed until he undergoes an MRI, even a Grade 1 strain would likely put the veteran forward in line for a multi-game absence. Spencer Jones opened the second half of Friday's game with the starting five in Gordon's stead, and players such as Cameron Johnson, Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther (back) could also see boosts in playing time while Gordon is on the mend.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Won't return Friday
Rotowire
Gordon won't return to Friday's game against the Rockets due to a right hamstring strain.
Gordon has been dealing with a left hamstring issue for most of November, so the injury he suffered Friday night was to his "good" hamstring. The Nuggets are playing the first game of a back-to-back set Friday, so don't be surprised if Gordon needs to miss Saturday's game versus Sacramento. Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones should be more involved in the rotation sans Gordon, while Cameron Johnson would likely see a larger role on offense.
