Gordon calmly knocked down a pair of free throws in the final five seconds to effectively ice the game, to complete his seventh 20-point performance of the season through 17 games. The 30-year-old center has seen a ton of scoring opportunities for the injury-plagued Nuggets, who have been playing without Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) of late. He’s averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists through four contests since returning earlier this month from injury. The Nuggets are in line for a busy four-game week with matchups against the Pelicans, Mavericks, Wizards and Hornets.

It’s no secret that Denver has been dealing with an avalanche of injury issues to their superstars and supporting cast this season. Somehow, they haven’t reached a tipping point yet, despite losing Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) earlier this week. Hardaway provided a spark off the bench in this one, knocking down 5-of-9 attempts from beyond the arc to notch his second 25-point effort in his last four games. He offers some appeal as a streaky scoring threat in deeper fantasy leagues.

Watson’s emergence as a viable fantasy contributor has been a welcome development on an injury-riddled Nuggets squad that is missing several key contributors. The 23-year-old’s breakthrough continued in this one as he’s topped 19 points for the seventh consecutive game since December 31. He’s worthy of a roster spot in all fantasy leagues based on his recent production.

The Nuggets won’t have Jamal Murray or Christian Braun for Sunday’s game, but Gordon is back after missing Friday’s loss to the Hawks. He’ll start, with DaRon Holmes II heading to the bench. Also in the lineup are Jones and Tyson, with the latter having started against Atlanta.

Gordon is good to go after initially being probable for Sunday’s game. The Nuggets have kept the forward on a minutes restriction since his return, and that’s unlikely to change against the Bucks. Spencer Jones or Hunter Tyson would be the starting power forward if Gordon comes off the bench again.

Braun was initially probable for Sunday’s game, which makes the status downgrade somewhat surprising. His absence will likely result in Bruce Brown returning to the starting lineup. While he hasn’t as impactful in fantasy basketball as he was in his first stint with the Nuggets, Brown is worth streaming in this spot.

Initially questionable for Sunday, Murray will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury and an illness. Jalen Pickett will once again replace him in the starting lineup, and he is worth streaming as a spot starter.

After exiting Thursday’s game against the Jazz with an illness, Williams did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls. With the doubtful tag, he likely misses a second game. Jaden Hardy and rookie Miles Kelly played rotation minutes in Chicago, and they may have to do so again on Monday.

Washington has missed Dallas’s last three games with a sprained ankle. With Anthony Davis sidelined for at least six weeks, Naji Marshall and Ryan Nembhard will likely be in the starting lineup if P.J. remains out. If Washington is available, Nembhard may be the player more likely headed to the bench.

Cissé sprained his right shoulder during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Bulls. He did remain in the game at the time, but the rookie may sit out Monday’s game. If Cissé plays, he’ll be in the rotation since the Mavericks won’t have Anthony Davis (hand).

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was ejected from Saturday’s game six minutes in, and it’s fair to wonder how this may have affected Flagg. The rookie had a rough night in Chicago, committing five turnovers in his 28 minutes on the floor. The good news for fantasy managers is that Flagg has had more good nights than bad, so he should not have much difficulty bouncing back. Especially with three of Dallas’ four Week 13 games coming against Brooklyn and Utah (they play the Jazz twice).

Marshall’s final stat line was solid, even if it didn’t keep the Mavericks from being on the wrong side of a blowout loss. Unfortunately, his fantasy prospects have taken a hit recently, due to a lack of defensive production and poor foul shooting. The Mavericks’ injuries open the door for Marshall to provide greater fantasy value, so he is worth the risk in deeper leagues.

Nembhard was back in the starting lineup on Saturday, as the Mavericks were without P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis due to injury. The rookie point guard was productive, with the six assists being the most in a game for him since December 29. Nembhard’s opportunities were also boosted due to Brandon Williams being out, so fantasy managers will want to keep Saturday’s production in perspective. The Mavericks play four games in Week 13, starting with the Nets on Monday.

The Mavericks won’t have P.J. Washington or Anthony Davis for Saturday’s game, which will return Nembhard to the starting lineup. Since Brandon Williams is also out, these changes should raise Nembhard’s fantasy ceiling.

The avalanche of injuries to key contributors in Denver has created an opportunity for Watson to put together a mini-breakout, scoring 20-plus points in six consecutive games since December 31. The 23-year-old forward recorded his second double-double of the season with Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) sitting out. He’s experienced a noticeable uptick in creation possessions and increased scoring duties over the last two weeks, averaging 21.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks over eight games during that span.

Gordon hasn’t skipped a beat in three games since returning from a lengthy absence recovering from a hamstring injury, averaging 15.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.0 assists over 23 minutes during that span. The Nuggets are going to keep a governor on his workload for the immediate future but he’ll continue providing his usual blend of points and rebounds for fantasy purposes.

The Nuggets won’t have Jamal Murray or Spencer Jones for Friday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pickett and Tyson will fill the voids, with the latter’s inclusion an indication that Aaron Gordon remains under a strict minutes restriction. While fantasy managers don’t need to consider streaming Tyson, Pickett is worth the risk in deeper formats.

Like Jamal Murray (ankle, illness), Jones’ status was downgraded on two separate occasions ahead of Friday’s game. His absence may result in Bruce Brown starting, but Aaron Gordon is another possibility. However, Gordon’s minutes restriction would likely need to be relaxed for that to happen.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Murray’s status has been downgraded twice since and he will not be available. Jalen Pickett was the replacement the last time Murray missed a game, scoring 29 points in a win over the 76ers on Monday. If he starts, Pickett is worth plugging into lineups in deeper leagues.

Due to an illness, Williams had to leave Thursday’s loss to the Jazz after playing nine minutes. His absence on Saturday should mean more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, who played 22 minutes against Utah. The rookie still has not returned to the point where he should be streamed in fantasy leagues, but that may change later in the season.

Davis injured his left hand during the fourth quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Jazz. According to Charania, a second opinion on the injury’s severity will be sought. If surgery is required, Davis could miss “a number of months.” With the Mavericks’ forward/center being the subject of trade rumors, an extended absence would likely put those to rest. As for Dallas’ approach to the rest of the season, losing Davis could affect Kyrie Irving’s return from the ACL tear he suffered last March. Dallas’s first-round pick in June’s draft is the last one that they’ll have complete control over until 2031, so the front office could decide that punting on the rest of this season is in the franchise’s best interest.

Thompson needed just 13 shots to tie season-highs in points and three-pointers on Thursday. His production didn’t come in bunches; it was spread throughout the game, with at least five points in each quarter. Additionally, the four-time NBA champion set a new season-high in assists and finished second on the team in that department. Thompson’s second season in Dallas has featured several highs and lows, but Thursday’s game marked a trend in the right direction after failing to score in double figures in the three previous games.

Flagg came within two assists of his first-career triple-double, as he collected double-digit rebounds for the fourth time this season, and reached 25 points or more for the seventh time. The rookie sensation also came through on the defensive end — there, he finished with four stocks and tied a career-high in steals. Flagg has enjoyed a stellar first NBA season. His trajectory could lead him to become one of the most productive fantasy players for years to come.

Davis was effective in his 35 minutes of game action, finishing as one of three Mavericks players to score at least 20 points and one of two to collect double-digit rebounds. Thursday’s double-double marked his 13th of the season. However, the veteran big man exited the floor late in the fourth quarter after suffering a hand injury and didn’t return. His status moving forward will certainly be worth monitoring from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Williams played nine minutes in the first half, tallying two points (1-of-4 FGs), three rebounds and one assist. His absence for the rest of the night may result in a few more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, but that isn’t guaranteed. In recent games, Nembhard has not been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Coming off a career-high 17 assists in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics, Murray is dealing with an illness and a sprained left ankle. However, the probable tag suggests that he’ll be cleared to play against the Hawks. If Murray can’t go, Jalen Pickett will be called on to absorb most of the minutes that would go to the Nuggets’ starting point guard.

Williams had been listed as questionable earlier in the day but was upgraded after going through a shootaround. The 26-year-old posted 18 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 27 minutes on Tuesday. He may see a slight reduction in minutes on Thursday, which would potentially mean a slightly larger role for Ryan Nembhard in this one.

Nikola Jokić’s left knee injury did not result in Nnaji moving into the starting lineup, but it has freed up additional opportunities for the former first-round pick. Over the past week, the 6-foot-9 forward/center has averaged 12.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes per game. That production has been good for top-100 value in eight-cat formats. DaRon Holmes II (six points, two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two three-pointers) may be the starter right now, but Nnaji offers the higher streaming ceiling.

Watson finished Wednesday’s victory with his second career 30-point game, finishing two shy of his career-high. The Nuggets’ forward, who initially moved into the starting lineup when Christian Braun went down with a sprained ankle, has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past month. Even with Braun back in the starting lineup and Aaron Gordon available off the bench, they’re under minutes restrictions, which protects Watson’s fantasy value.

Back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the 76ers, Murray made up for lost time with one of his best all-around lines of the season. The Nuggets’ point guard racked up a career-high 17 assists, finishing two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Murray’s final line was Nikola Jokić-like, and the Nuggets need that level of production from him with the three-time MVP still recovering from a left knee injury. Over the past week, Murray has offered top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.
