Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Won't play Tuesday
Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Detroit, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Johnson will miss his 22nd consecutive game while managing a right knee bone bruise. Although Nuggets head coach David Adelman has suggested the wing could return before the All-Star break, this ruling pushes Johnson's next chance to suit up to Wednesday against New York at the earliest. In the meantime, Jalen Pickett and Spencer Jones have seen extended opportunities and should continue to see significant playing time versus the Pistons.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Iffy for Tuesday
Braun (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Braun hasn't seen the court since Jan. 9 while on the mend from a left ankle sprain, but this questionable designation signals that he's closing in on a return. The Nuggets previously reported that Braun is expected to return before the All-Star break, so even if he isn't cleared to go Tuesday, he'll likely be on the court within the next week or so.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Double-doubles in loss
Murray finished with 12 points (4-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-111 loss to the Thunder.
The All-Star break couldn't come soon enough for Murray, who has been dealing with hamstring and hip inflammation of late and presumably could use some time to heal up. Although he's shored up his recent totals with significant assist numbers, his shot volume has taken a slight hit since returning from a one-game absence. His success beyond the arc has also taken a hit, as he has shot only 31.8 percent from three-point range over the past four games.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Muted performance in loss
Jokic finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 121-111 loss to the Thunder.
The Nuggets won't take any chances with Jokic as he works his way back from injury, so a lower total shouldn't come as a huge surprise while he operates under a minutes restriction. That being said, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein defended the All-Star effectively and kept his impact to a minimum. The Nuggets have a back-to-back set looming on the schedule this week, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Jokic take a seat for one of those games.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Shines with team-high 29 points
Watson produced 29 points (11-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 121-111 loss to the Thunder.
Watson took care of business for the Nuggets, who are slowly easing Nikola Jokic back to action. Jokic attempted only nine shots in the game and left the heavy lifting to Watson, who drilled five three-pointers and contributed in every major category. Watson has posted totals over 30 points four times this season, and the UCLA product was only a point away from hitting that milestone again.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Will play versus OKC
Murray (hip/hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Murray has been dealing with hip and hamstring issues of late, but he will be able to suit up for a fourth straight game Sunday. The newly crowned All-Star is averaging 24.6 points, 8.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 36.0 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Slated to play Sunday
Jokic (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Jokic was previously listed as probable while managing a left knee bone bruise and will suit up Sunday as expected. After missing 16 games due to his knee injury, the superstar returned Friday with a strong showing, totaling 31 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes in a win over the Clippers.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Officially out
Braun (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Braun will miss a 12th consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Braun appears to be nearing a return, however, considering he wasn't ruled out until just before tipoff. Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther are likely to continue to see increased roles in Braun's absence Sunday, and the latter's next chance to suit up comes Tuesday against the Pistons.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Doubtful for Sunday
Braun (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Braun is expected to miss a 12th consecutive contest as he recovers from a left ankle sprain, though it's a positive sign that he isn't being ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther may continue to see increased burn if Braun remains sidelined.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Probable once again
Murray (hip/hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Probable tags have been par for the course for Murray, so this is nothing to concern fantasy managers. For now, look for him to suit up against the Thunder. Over 12 January appearances, the star point guard averaged 27.7 points, 8.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 36.3 minutes per tilt.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Not listed on injury report
Hardaway (ankle) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Hardaway tweaked his ankle during Friday's win over the Clippers, though he's set to play Sunday after being re-examined Saturday. The veteran swingman has scored in double figures in four straight games, averaging 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 27.8 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Likely to face OKC
Jokic (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Jokic is likely to play in a second consecutive contest following a 16-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise. The star big man operated under a minutes restriction during his return in Friday's win over the Clippers, when he posted 31 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes. While he may see a slight bump in minutes if he's cleared to play Sunday, the Nuggets will likely continue to monitor his playing time.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Hits five triples, but tweaks ankle
Nuggets head coach David Adelman said after Friday's 122-109 win over the Clippers that Hardaway tweaked his ankle during the contest and will be re-examined Saturday, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports. Hardaway finished the game with 22 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench.
The 33-year-old wing continued his hot-shooting ways from downtown in the win, burying at least three three-pointers for the fourth game in a row en route to finishing second on the team in scoring behind Nikola Jokic (31 points). Hardaway was denied the opportunity to potentially add to his scoring haul, however, as he checked out of the game for good with 7:20 left in the fourth quarter to get his ankle checked out in the locker room. The Nuggets should provide an update on Hardaway's status when they release their next injury report later Saturday in advance of Sunday's game versus the Thunder.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Stays productive in Jokic's return
Watson finished with 21 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 122-109 victory over the Clippers.
Even with Nikola Jokic back in the lineup for the first time since Dec. 29 after recovering from a knee injury, Watson still managed to maintain the shot volume he'd established in the three-time MVP's absence. Watson scored more than 20 points in nine of 15 games in January, and the fourth-year forward averaged 21.9 points, 5.5 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.4 threes, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals on the month while shooting 46.2 percent from three-point range.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Just misses double-double Friday
Murray finished Friday's 122-109 win over the Clippers with 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 36 minutes.
With Nikola Jokic back in action after a 16-game absence due to a knee injury, Murray saw his usage predictably decline, as his 10 field-goal attempts were his lowest volume since Dec. 1. The 28-year-old point guard still scored at least 20 points for his fifth straight appearance and for the 11th time in 12 January games, and he's averaged 27.7 points, 8.6 assists, 3.9 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals on the month while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor and 43.0 percent from long distance.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Posts big numbers in return
Jokic (knee) notched 31 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes in Friday's 122-109 win over the Clippers.
Jokic returned to action following a 16-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise and performed as well as ever despite playing less than a full workload. After the game, head coach David Adelman noted that Jokic would have been available to play three more minutes "at the most," per TheDNVR.com, but the Nuggets were able to keep the three-time MVP's playing time in check after he ran into foul trouble in the first half. The Nuggets then held a comfortable lead down the stretch, allowing Jokic to rest for the final two minutes of the double-digit win. Given Adelman's comments, Jokic seems likely to be held under 30 minutes in the Nuggets' next game Sunday versus the Thunder, but the standout center could be free of restrictions in standalone games by the end of next week.
