Watson racked up 13 points (6-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 109-107 loss to the Pistons.
Watson continues to provide some of everything for Denver. He's currently on a 16-game streak of scoring double figures, although he shot just 30.0 percent from the field against Detroit in a two-point loss. Watson's defense remains stellar as he now has 11 blocks in his past four games.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Shines in win
Watson finished with 35 points (10-16 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and four blocks in 40 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 victory over the Wizards.
Watson put together a stellar final line, highlighted by a team-high 35 points, which also marks a season high. The 23-year-old was a menace on the defensive end, where he compiled a team-best four swats and accounted for two of Denver's nine steals. Watson has now reached the 30-point threshold in two of his past six appearances and continues to play at a high level as the Nuggets navigate without Nikola Jokic (knee).

Watson chipped in 18 points (7-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 115-107 loss to the Lakers.
It was another strong showing from Watson, who continues to see elevated usage while Nikola Jokic (knee) is on the shelf. Over the last 12 games, while the superstar center has been sidelined, Watson is averaging 22.1 points, 6.2 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks in 35.9 minutes.

Over that stretch, Watson is averaging 21.8 points, 6.0 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks while shooting 51.6 percent from the floor and 41.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Strikes for 31 in New Orleans
Watson had 31 points (11-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 122-116 win over the Pelicans.
Fresh off being named the Western Conference Player of the Week, Watson scored 30-plus points for the second time in the last four games and recorded at least one steal, one block and one three-pointer for the fourth time in the last five contests. The fourth-year forward has kicked his production into high gear since Christmas while the Nuggets have dealt with absences from Nikola Jokic (knee), Christian Braun (ankle), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring). Over the last 10 games, Watson has averaged 22.3 points, 6.2 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.5 minutes while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Strong line in win

Watson's ascension continued Sunday with another terrific two-way showing. The Nuggets have a ton of injuries right now, and that's allowed Watson to take on a larger role offensively. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 22.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers on 48.1 percent shooting from the field.

Watson continues to go from strength to strength, scoring at least 20 points for the sixth straight game while also recording his second double-double of the season. Injuries to other players opened up an opportunity for Watson, and since that time, he has not looked back. In four games over the past week, he has averaged 25.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.8 three-pointers and 2.8 combined steals-plus-blocks.

Watson registered 30 points (10-15 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during the Nuggets' 114-110 win over the Celtics on Wednesday.
It was another impressive performance from Watson, who led the Nuggets in scoring and finished with his most points in a game since Nov. 19 against the Pelicans (32). Watson has scored at least 21 points in five straight games, and over that span he has averaged 24.4 points on 51.8 percent shooting along with 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.4 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over 37.3 minutes per game. He should continue to serve in an expanded role on offense for as long as Nikola Jokic (knee) is sidelined.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Erupts for 24 points
Watson registered 24 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 44 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime win over the 76ers.
With Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, Tim Hardaway and Christian Braun all getting the night off for maintenance during the second leg of this back-to-back set, Watson was cast in an unfamiliar role with a ton of usage. He certainly delivered, combining with Jalen Pickett to put up 53 points as the Nuggets shocked the 76ers. Watson is trending up with averages of 23.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers over his last four games.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Stays hot with 23 points
Watson supplied 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to Brooklyn.
Watson is certainly heating up, with Sunday's performance being his third consecutive game with at least 20 points. The 23-year-old forward should continue to play big minutes in the Nuggets' starting lineup for as long as Cameron Johnson (knee) and Nikola Jokic (knee) are sidelined. For the campaign, Watson has averaged 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 31.1 minutes per contest across 23 games as a starter.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Scores team-high 24 points
Watson closed with 24 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over the Raptors.
Watson struggled from beyond the arc but still managed to finish as the Nuggets' leading scorer Wednesday, with 14 of his 24 points coming in the second quarter. It was the fifth time he scored 20-plus points in a game this season and his seventh multi-steal game. He'll wrap up the month of December having averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 29.6 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Scores 11 points
Watson posted 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 147-123 loss to Miami.
Nikola Jokic left this game early and is expected to miss at least four weeks with a hyperextended left knee. The Nuggets are already thin in the frontcourt, and it's likely that Watson is asked to step up offensively. Additionally, his workloads should be even more secure in the short term.
