Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Back to bench
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.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Muted effort in spot start
Watson finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Wizards.
Watson stepped into Denver's starting lineup for the injured Aaron Gordon (calf) on Saturday, but the former played a muted role on offense while Nikola Jokic went off for a career-high 56 points. In 12 games as a starter this season, Watson is averaging 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes per contest. If Gordon is unable to suit up for Sunday's tilt with Atlanta, Watson would be worth streaming for defensive stats in fantasy leagues with a likely uptick in playing time in this case.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Starting sans Gordon
Watson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Available to play Tuesday

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 (groin) will play during Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Watson will officially be available after being deemed probable ahead of game time due to an adductor strain. Watson has had a prominent role for Denver this season, but with Aaron Gordon (calf) back in the lineup, it wouldn't be surprising for Watson's playing time to take a hit.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Strong two-way effort
Watson fouled out of Tuesday's 122-110 win over the Grizzlies after recording 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes.
Watson chipped in on both ends of the floor, continuing to provide serviceable production in Aaron Gordon's absence due to a calf injury. Despite foul trouble, Watson reminded everyone just what he can do when afforded meaningful minutes, playing as a primary defender while also being able to spread the floor on the offensive end. Until Gordon returns, Watson should remain a key piece for the Nuggets.

Watson notched 16 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors.
Aaron Gordon left this game after four minutes with a calf strain, so Watson took advantage and posted a season-high mark of 16 points in 31 minutes. Watson has a strong per-minute upside because of his steal and block rates, so he's someone to keep an eye on if Gordon ends up missing more time.

Watson supplied seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime victory over Brooklyn.
Watson logged a season-high 20 minutes of action Tuesday. A stellar defender, Watson incrementally improving his offensive game will be something to monitor throughout Denver's season.
