Murray was one of many Nuggets who did not play in Friday’s loss to the Hawks. Jalen Pickett replaced him in the starting lineup and would do so again if Murray can’t play on Sunday.

Jones did not play in Friday’s loss to the Hawks, with Hunter Tyson being tabbed to fill the void in the starting lineup. If Jones remains out and the Nuggets decide to keep Aaron Gordon in a reserve role, Tyson should get another start on Sunday.

Gordon played 24 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Hawks and should take on a similar workload on Sunday. The Nuggets have taken a conservative approach to his playing time, with Hunter Tyson starting on Friday since Spencer Jones (ankle, illness) was out.

Braun is back on the injury report, but the probable tag suggests that he’ll be able to play. However, his minutes may be managed by the Nuggets’ coaching staff due to the time missed with a sprained ankle.

Porter is dealing with a right hip contusion, but the good news is that he’s probable on the Bucks’ initial injury report. If he’s unable to play, Gary Trent Jr. could be the replacement in the starting lineup, while Ryan Rollins will take on a larger role as Milwaukee’s primary playmaker.

Portis has now recorded six double-doubles this season, with all having been recorded since December 14. Over the past month, the Bucks’ forward has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. By comparison, Myles Turner (eight points, six rebounds and two three-pointers) has not been a top-150 player during this period. The combination of Portis’ production and the underwhelming return offered by Turner makes the former worth the risk in some 12-team leagues.

Giannis came up with the biggest defensive play of Friday’s game, as he poked the ball away from LeBron James in the final seconds to prevent the Lakers’ forward from attempting a potential game-tying layup. While Antetokounmpo’s shot volume was low, he shot the ball efficiently from the field and the foul line. Having seemingly put to rest any rumors regarding his future in Milwaukee, the question now is what (if anything) the Bucks will look to do to strengthen the roster around Antetokounmpo before the trade deadline. Regardless of the answer, he’ll still provide excellent fantasy value.

After returning from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for over a month, Porter has exceeded the expectations of many fantasy managers. The Bucks’ guard has been a top-20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, well above his Yahoo! ADP (109). On Friday, Porter joined Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only Bucks players with at least 20 points, and he recorded a complete stat line with solid percentages. Rostered in 71 percent of Yahoo! leagues, KPJ is worth scooping up if available in shallow leagues.

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.

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.

Rollins followed up a relatively mediocre performance against the Kings with a pretty solid outing on Wednesday against the Warriors. By way of efficient shooting, he concluded as Milwaukee’s second-leading scorer, and he also finished second on the team in total rebounds. Add in Rollins’ contributions as a passer, and his pair of three-pointers, and you get what was a productive performance as far as fantasy basketball goes. He’ll have a chance to log another productive game on Friday against the Lakers.

Porter Jr. put together another productive performance as the Bucks’ lead guard. As usual, he was an effective passer — leading his team in assists on Wednesday — and he also shot the ball efficiently before finishing as Milwaukee’s third leading scorer. A lack of free-throw attempts prevented him from scoring more points. Nonetheless, Porter Jr. continues to fit nicely alongside AJ Green and Ryan Rollins at the guard position in the Bucks’ starting unit.

Antetokounmpo played 31 minutes on Wednesday and collected his fourth straight 30-point double-double. Efficient shooting keyed his success, and a pair of three-pointers also added to his overall fantasy production on the night. He finished as the only Milwaukee player with double-digit rebounds and was the only one to score more than 16 points. Antetokounmpo continues to do the heavy lifting for the Bucks — their success depends on it, which is great news for fantasy basketball managers.

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.

Murray and Braun are back after sitting out Monday’s win over the 76ers. Their returns mean that Bruce Brown and Jalen Pickett will come off the bench, limiting their respective fantasy value. Also, while Aaron Gordon is available, he will once again come off the bench, leaving Jones with the starters.

Jones is a late addition to the injury report, but this illness isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup. Jones has been a consistent starter lately, but his role in this game will depend on how many minutes Aaron Gordon (hamstring) plays in his second game back.

While the three-time NBA Most Valuable Player has begun to do some spot shooting, he’s still considered to be “weeks away” from a return. In his report, Charania mentioned the end of January as a potential return window for the center. Until then, the Nuggets will continue to rely on DaRon Holmes II and Zeke Nnaji to fill the void at the five.

Gordon and THJ sat out of Monday’s win over Philadelphia, and Peyton Watson, Spencer Jones and Zeke Nnaji filled in. Nnaji went for 21/8 across 32 minutes off the bench, and Watson continued to shine as a starter, going for 24/7/4 across 44 minutes. Watson, Jones and Nnaji should all see similar run Wednesday if Gordon and Hardaway Jr. are sidelined again.

Murray and Braun sat out Monday’s upset win over the 76ers, but they’ve got a chance to return following a one-game absence. If Murray and Braun are out for a second straight game, Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown would be in line for bumps in playing time and production. Pickett went for 29/5/7 on Monday, and Brown finished with 19/6/2.

Watson has been a scoring machine for the shorthanded Nuggets. Since Nikola Jokić injured his knee, Watson has averaged 23 points per game. He has been average in other categories, but he has been on an offensive tear. He coughed the ball up a career-worst six times in this game, but the rest of his performance was strong and helped Denver steal a win on the road. Watson will remain a must-roster player until Aaron Gordon (hamstring) returns, and he should still hold value beyond that.

Nnaji hasn’t filled the starting center spot with both Nikola Jokić (knee) and Jonas Valančiūnas (calf) sidelined, but he has been solid as the backup to DaRon Holmes II. However, in this game, he was more than just a solid reserve. Nnaji matched his career high for points, nearly recorded a double-double and contributed four “stocks” in 32 minutes off the bench. Whether he moves into the starting lineup or continues to come off the bench, Nnaji is the better option than Holmes as a fill-in.

With Jamal Murray (ankle) sidelined for the second night of Denver’s back-to-back, Pickett entered the starting unit in his place. It was his fourth start of the season, including his third in their last four games. The result was a new career high for points for the 2023 second-round pick. Murray should be back for their next game on Wednesday in Boston, so Pickett likely won’t be able to provide an encore. However, he may have earned himself more minutes, and he will have more streaming appeal during his next start.

It’s not surprising that Gordon will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back set after returning from a long absence on Sunday. With Gordon, Jamal Murray (ankle) and Christian Braun (ankle) all joining Nikola Jokić (knee) and Jonas Valančiūnas (calf) on the sideline, THJ will also get the night off to recover from an illness. Spencer Jones, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther are all candidates for increased run against the 76ers tonight as Denver trots out a skeleton crew.

Braun returned from a lengthy absence on Sunday, and Murray has been dealing with an ankle injury of his own, so it’s not surprising that both players will miss the second leg of Denver’s back-to-back set.

Porter has recorded three double-doubles in his last four appearances, but the 25 points scored in Sunday’s win were the most in a game for him in nearly a month. A fourth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Porter continues to exceed expectations in fantasy basketball. For the season, he has been a first-round player in eight-cat formats. The Bucks play three games in Week 12.

Usually, the approach of having Giannis earn his points at the foul line results in him leaving some points on the board, given his poor shooting at the free-throw line. Well, that approach didn’t work for the Kings, as he made 11 of his 13 attempts on the night. Add in an elite shooting performance from the field, and the Bucks superstar finished with his third 30-point double-double in as many appearances. While Milwaukee’s not playing again until Wednesday is bad news for fantasy managers, it does get Giannis a little more time to deal with his right calf.
