Strawther had almost a repeat performance of his game in the win over the Thunder on Friday. The 23-year-old small forward started, led the Nuggets with 34 minutes, dropped 20 points and hit four three-pointers. Sound familiar? Strawther is likely to be just a depth option as the Nuggets head into the playoffs.

Jokić finished the regular season averaging 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists as he became the first player in league history to lead the league in rebounds and assists in the same season. The 31-year-old center only played 18 minutes, but still had 23 points and eight rebounds in the win over the Spurs. The Nuggets head into the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Rupert finished the season with three excellent games in a row. A former second round pick on a two-way deal, Rupert has been given plenty of minutes by the Grizzlies in the second half of the season and only flashed his potential. Still just 21, he could be worth stashing in dynasty, but expectations should be tempered.

Clayton will miss a second straight game. On Friday, Lucas Williamson and Jahmai Mashack each played 48 minutes. Expect more strange rotations for Memphis in this one, with Williamson and Mashack likely filling all the backcourt minutes. As for Clayton, the 2025 first-rounder came over to Memphis in the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade and could figure in Memphis’ rotation in 2026-27 if Ja Morant is dealt this offseason. He has some conditional fantasy value, but he’s going to need to shoot better than 38.4 percent to be a major cog going forward.

Gordon and Hardaway getting additional recovery time ahead of the playoffs is far more impactful on the Nuggets’ rotation than Jones’ continued absence with a strained hamstring. David Roddy, who scored 21 points off the bench in Friday’s win over the Thunder, should once again play extended minutes, potentially as a starter to fill the void left by Hardaway.

Jokić needs to play at least 15 minutes in Sunday’s game to be eligible for postseason awards. So, even with the questionable tag, fantasy managers in active leagues should assume that the three-time MVP will play. However, don’t expect Jokić to play starters’ minutes since the Nuggets other key contributors all sidelined.

After being inactive for two games, Rupert was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench at first, but he ended up starting the second half. His shot was inefficient, but he was able to contribute across the board in the box score. The former second-round pick signed a two-way deal with Memphis in February and is still only 21 years old. He still holds enough upside for dynasty managers to consider him as a stash, but it is unlikely this production carries over into next season.

Mashack recorded the dreaded quadruple-double. The triple-double part was nice, but the 10 turnovers really put a damper on his outing. The rookie has had some strong outings this year, specifically as a source of steals. This type of production only happens in April. Mashack should have a productive career as a rotation defender, but managers shouldn’t expect many more triple-doubles in his future.

Whitehead scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half, and he ended up sitting most the way after that, which prevented him from having a bigger night. The former five-star prospect never figured things out due to injuries, but he is still a talented young scorer. He has been able to prove that while on a 10-day for Memphis, but it will take more than that for him to earn a standard contract ahead of next season.

Williamson is playing on a 10-day contract, and Utah rolled him out for all 48 minutes of this game. He wasn’t efficient with his shot, but he was able to record the first double-double of his career. Williamson went undrafted in 2022 and is just now getting his first NBA stint. He has been able to put together some decent games, but he won’t play this large of a role next season.

Strawther moved into the starting lineup along with the other reserves and had a pretty good game against the Thunder on Friday. The 23-year-old shooting guard had 22 points and four three-pointers. Strawther led the Nuggets with 34 minutes and could see a similar workload in the season finale against the Spurs on Sunday.

The Nuggets’ backups beat the Thunder’s backups and Valančiūnas led the way with a monster game down low.

Clayton’s stretch of productive games continued on Wednesday. He scored the ball well in his 22 minutes and showcased a little bit of playmaking ability in the process. While the rookie guard didn’t have a dominant line, his 15 points marked the fifth straight game he’s finished with double-digit points. The Grizzlies play two more games before their season concludes; Clayton could remain in a featured role the rest of the way.

Hendricks was productive despite playing only 22 minutes on Wednesday. He shot the ball well overall and capitalized on his few three-point attempts, allowing him to score in double figures for a second consecutive game. The fourth-year forward also contributed on the glass and finished as the only Grizzlies player to record at least one block and steal apiece. Hendricks has been a more productive player during his brief time in Memphis than he was previously in Utah. He’ll have an opportunity to finish the regular season strong.

Coward needed only 22 minutes of game action to finish as the game’s leading scorer. He was dialed in from beyond the arc, took advantage of his free-throw attempts, and made the most of his scoring inside the arc.

Johnson was one of several Nuggets players to produce on the offensive end against the Grizzlies. Specifically, he was one of eight to finish with double-digit points, utilizing efficient shooting from beyond the arc and success inside the three-point line to conclude as the team’s second-leading scorer. After a slow start to the season regarding three-point shooting, Johnson has really picked it up and turned in an efficient season. His scoring uptick in April could prove to be valuable with the playoffs just around the corner.

Wednesday marked the fourth consecutive game that Murray has tallied at least three triples, and was the fourth time in the last seven games he’s drained five or more. More than at any other point in his career, the three-point shot has become an incredible weapon — Murray is posting career-highs in makes and percentage, which has led to the highest scoring season of his career. He finished the night as Denver’s leader in scoring and should enter the postseason with lots of positive momentum.

Jokić didn’t look for his shot much on Wednesday, taking fewer than 10 shot attempts for the game. He made most of his attempts and was productive enough at the free-throw line to work his way into double figures as a scorer. However, his game-high 15 rebounds and 10 assists were arguably the more impressive stats on this night. Jokić is averaging a triple-double on the season for the second consecutive season. He’ll have a chance at collecting another MVP award.

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.
