Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Chance to play Saturday
Watson (side) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Watson was unable to play against the Magic on Thursday due to a right trunk contusion, but he may limit his absence to one game if he's cleared to return Saturday. He was in the Nuggets' starting lineup in the 14 games prior to Thursday's contest, and over that span he averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 blocks over 30.2 minutes per game.

Pickett totaled nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and seven assists over 24 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 win over the Magic.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Posts double-double in victory
Johnson recorded 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 win over the Magic.
Johnson achieved his first double-double of the campaign as he recorded more than six rebounds in a game for the first time this season. He has retained consistent playing time lately, establishing himself as a regular starter and contributing mainly to the scoring column while Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) remain sidelined.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Leads team in scoring Thursday
Murray registered 32 points (11-22 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 win over the Magic.
Murray excelled from three-point range en route to a game-high scoring count against Orlando. Murray is in good form with more than 30 points in three of his last four appearances. Additionally, his regular-season averages of 25.2 points and 6.6 assists per game rank him second on the squad behind Nikola Jokic.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Dominates against Orlando
Jokic tallied 23 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, 13 assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 win over the Magic.
Thursday's performance was more of the same from Jokic, who has shown no sign of slowing down after securing his second straight triple-double. Outside of his usual high level of production in points, rebounds and assists, he's now secured two steals in three straight appearances.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Making first start of season
Brown is starting Thursday's game against the Magic.
Brown is making his first start of the 2025-26 campaign with Peyton Watson (side) sidelined. Brown put together a strong all-around performance in his last appearance, logging nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in 27 minutes off the bench.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Cleared to play
Hardaway (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Not playing Thursday
Watson (side) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Watson is dealing with a right trunk contusion, which will result in him missing his first game of the season. He has started in each of the Nuggets' last 14 games, so his absence opens the door for Tim Hardaway or Zeke Nnaji to enter Denver's starting lineup. Watson's next opportunity to play is Saturday against the Rockets.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Tabbed questionable
Hardaway is questionable for Thursday's game against Orlando due to an illness.
Hardaway is battling an illness ahead of Thursday's clash. If he can't go, it'd be Hardaway's first absence of the campaign. Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther could see an uptick in playing time if Hardaway doesn't play.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Questionable for Thursday
Watson (side) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Magic.
Watson suffered a right trunk contusion during Monday's win over Houston and was unable to return, which resulted in Tim Hardaway starting the second half. However, Hardaway is also questionable for Thursday's game with an illness, so if both players are out, Bruce Brown could receive major minutes as a starter.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Collects season-high nine rebounds
Brown ended with two points (1-3 FG), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Brown established a season high in boards, making a big impact defensively. The 2018 second-rounder is capable of chipping in across the board, and the absence of Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and exit of Peyton Watson (side) on Monday leaves the door open for enhanced streaming appeal. Brown has averaged 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.1 minutes per contest in his last 12 games.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Plays season-high 40 minutes
Hardaway finished Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets with 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 40 minutes.
Hardaway started the second half for the injured Peyton Watson (side), logging a season high in minutes. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) already sidelined, Watson's potential absence in the future could open a path to big minutes for Hardaway. He's quietly reached double digits in scoring in nine consecutive outings, during which the veteran swingman has averaged 14.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Continues playing heavy minutes
Johnson notched 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime win over the Rockets.
Johnson has performed better over the past month, though his lack of contributions in other areas of the box score remains frustrating for fantasy managers. The sharpshooter has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes per contest in his last 13 outings, shooting 47.9 percent from deep over that stretch.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Strong defensive showing Monday
Jones closed Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 41 minutes.
It's the first time in Jones' brief NBA career that he's recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game. The second-year forward has started 10 straight games with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) in street clothes, and over that stretch, Jones is averaging 8.2 points, 3.9 boards, 1.3 threes, 0.8 assists and 1.1 combined steals and blocks in 25.6 minutes a contest while shooting a surprising 56.4 percent from the floor and 44.8 percent (13-for-29) from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Strikes for 35 in OT win
Murray closed with 35 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 14-15 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Nikola Jokic led the way with a 39-point triple-double, but Murray needed to come up big as well, as no other Nuggets player scored more than 13. The 28-year-old point guard has scored more than 30 points in four of the last eight games, averaging 28.3 points, 6.9 assists, 4.0 threes, 3.9 boards and 1.0 steals during that stretch while shooting a stellar 54.9 percent from the floor, 90.5 percent from the charity stripe and 57.1 percent from long distance.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Powers way to triple-double
Jokic produced 39 points (13-27 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks in 42 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime win over the Rockets.
Jokic pieced together yet another monster performance across the board despite fouling out in overtime, securing his 12th triple-double of the season in the process. He's been on a tear to begin the month of December, averaging 32.7 points, 12.2 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 1.2 steals through his first six appearances.
