For the second time in four games, Murray reached double figures in assists. He didn’t do as much scoring on Saturday, which is a credit to San Antonio’s Stephon Castle, but the Nuggets’ offensive balance carried the day in their overtime victory. All five starters scored at least 15 points on the day. Murray and the Nuggets play four games in Week 24, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Johnson has now made multiple three-pointers in seven consecutive games, providing the consistent production in that category that was absent for significant stretches earlier this season.

Braun’s points tally has increased in each of his last four games. Saturday’s effort was his first of 20 points or more since March 18, when the Nuggets’ guard dropped 26 in a loss to the Grizzlies. Braun did more than score against the Spurs, recording a complete stat line in 39 minutes of play. These are the kind of all-around performances that Denver will need from Braun moving forward, even if he doesn’t surpass 20 points consistently.

If Saturday’s overtime thriller was a harbinger of what’s to come in the playoffs, NBA fans are in for a great spring. Jokić outdueled Victor Wembanyama in a matchup of two of the candidates for league MVP, with the three-time winner of the award finishing two boards shy of a triple-double. The Joker shot 52 percent from the field and did not commit a turnover in the Nuggets’ final game of Week 23. Fantasy managers rostering Jokić may have received a league-winning performance on Saturday.

Post had to exit Golden State’s March 29 loss to the Nuggets due to a sore right foot and has not appeared in a game since. The 7-footer is progressing in his recovery and remains on a regimen of rehabilitation and light on-court workouts. Post is not as far along as Al Horford (calf), as he still has not done any team workouts. Hopefully, he can return before the start of the postseason to shake off some rust.

Horford last appeared in a game on March 13, and as recently as March 31, he was limited to individual workouts. According to the Warriors, the veteran center was worked into some segments of Saturday’s team practice. Horford will be re-evaluated early next week; the question is whether he’ll be able to get some game action before the start of the postseason.

Green didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but the overall stat line showed why he’s still rostered in more than 75 percent of Yahoo! leagues. In addition to the rebounds and assists, the veteran forward was responsible for four defensive contributions. The three blocks matched Green’s season high, which he last reached on November 25 against the Kings. The Warriors play once more in Week 23, when they host the Rockets on Sunday.

Podziemski, who shared the team lead in scoring with Gui Santos, has scored 20 points or more in five of his last six appearances. The Warriors’ guard has provided third-round value over the last two weeks, more than picking up the slack as the team remained without Stephen Curry (knee). Even if Curry returns on Sunday against the Rockets as expected, Podziemski’s role will be fine due to the Warriors’ need for offense. Plus, Curry’s playing time will be limited in his first game back.

Porziņǵis played 28 minutes against the Cavaliers, providing limited value outside of points and rebounds in a challenging matchup. He’s played at least 27 minutes in each of his five appearances, an encouraging run after injury and illness limited his availability at the start of his time with the Warriors. Golden State ends its Week 23 with a game against the Rockets on Sunday, and they may have Stephen Curry (knee) back. Even if his minutes are limited, Curry’s mere presence should help Porziņǵis and the others offensively.

Back in the Warriors’ lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, Santos was not at full strength against the Cavaliers. However, that did not keep him from having one of his best games of the season. Santos has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four outings, continuing to provide solid value while the Warriors await Stephen Curry’s return. That may happen on Sunday, but Santos’ fantasy value for the final game of Week 23 should be fine.

Cryer tied a career-high in points on Wednesday in his 23 minutes on the floor. He struggled from the three-point line but finished efficiently inside the arc and at the free-throw line, which was key to his production. The rookie guard didn’t make much of an impact elsewhere. Still, he scored well and has now reached double figures in points in five of his last seven games.

Williams made his first start of the season and made it a memorable one by nearly posting a season-high in points. The fourth-year guard played 47 of the possible 48 minutes on Wednesday and added a couple of three-pointers before the final horn sounded. Williams also chipped in on defense with a couple of steals, but didn’t post any other notable numbers. There’s a chance he remains a starter on Thursday against the Cavaliers, but regardless, he appears to be firmly in the rotation. However, fantasy managers should not count on Williams for much fantasy value.

Spencer played 38 minutes off the bench and put up a balanced stat line.

Denver’s tandem of Murray and Nikola Jokić was outstanding on Sunday, helping the Nuggets pull away from the Warriors in the second half. Murray, who finished with a complete stat line, has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Nuggets are scheduled to play just two games in Week 23, which is unfortunate for those rostering Murray with their eyes on a league title.

Jokić finished Sunday’s 116-93 victory two assists shy of a triple-double, shooting 50 percent from the field. The three-time MVP has recorded a triple-double in five consecutive games, matching his longest run of the season. The negative for fantasy managers is that the Nuggets play two games in Week 23.
