Gordon wasn’t on the initial injury report, but there is a chance he is sidelined against New Orleans. This isn’t part of a back-to-back, but Denver does have one on Friday and Saturday, so don’t be surprised if Gordon is sidelined for one of those. Peyton Watson is already starting with Christian Braun (ankle) out, so Bruce Brown or Tim Hardaway Jr. would likely fill in for Gordon.

Strawther’s continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Cameron Johnson being available. While there may be a few minutes available to Strawther when he returns due to Christian Braun’s ankle injury, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

This means Murray will miss Wednesday’s game against the Thunder. He was assigned to the G League on Monday to continue his rehab, and now he’s expected to make his return. Keon Ellis started on Monday, but he should return to a reserve role with Murray back. Sacramento’s starting lineup has undergone a few changes recently, but Murray should be locked in as a starter.

Sabonis had been playing through a rib injury, but it’s now his left knee that’s giving him trouble. Drew Eubanks should start in his place, with Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud filling in a few minutes off the bench. Hopefully this is just a one-game absence for Sabonis, but if he misses more time, Eubanks would be worth adding.

Having entered Monday shooting 37.2 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from three, Johnson needed a good night in the worst way. Against the Bulls, he shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc and finished with season-highs in points and three-pointers. This was the first game in which Johnson made at least three three-pointers in a game, and his previous high point total was 15. One game does not make Johnson a player worth rostering in 12-team leagues again, but it’s a step in the right direction.

One game removed from recording his first double-double of the season, Gordon notched a second on Monday. The negative for fantasy managers is that he did not record any assists, steals or blocked shots, the first time Gordon’s tossed up a bagel in all three categories in the same game this season. Thanks to excellent production in points, rebounds and three-pointers with high percentages, AG is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. However, the margin for error is slim due to the lackluster assists and defensive stats.

For the first time this season, Murray recorded a points/rebounds double-double, with the other two being of the points/assists variety. The 34 points were the most the Nuggets guard has scored in a game since an October 27 win over the Timberwolves in which he tallied 43. Murray continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP, ranking within the top-25 in nine-cat formats. It would be unsurprising if he had another big game on Wednesday when the Nuggets visit the reeling Pelicans.

Jokić had a chance to send Monday’s game to overtime, but his long three-point attempt fell short of the rim as time expired. However, fantasy managers aren’t concerned about the game’s outcome. Jokić recorded his second straight triple-double and eighth of the season. Whether it’s eight- or nine-cat formats, the Nuggets center remains the most valuable player in fantasy basketball. And with the Nuggets visiting New Orleans on Wednesday, Jokić could be in for another huge stat line.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Strawther is officially out. However, his absence coincides with Cameron Johnson’s return, so the Nuggets will have the options needed to account for Strawther not playing. He does not impact fantasy basketball when healthy.

Johnson is back after a one-game absence, and he will be in the starting lineup. Tim Hardaway Jr. will head to the bench, where he offers a lower fantasy ceiling. Johnson has struggled to begin his time in Denver and is no longer a must-roster player in 12-team leagues.

No surprise here as Jokić is once again good to go despite dealing with a wrist injury. The 30-year-old center is coming off a triple-double in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves. Jokić has a great matchup Monday against the Bulls, which is the second game of a back-to-back for Chicago.

Watson, who started Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves, will remain in the starting lineup despite Cameron Johnson (biceps) being on track to return after a one-game absence. Watson will fill the void left by Christian Braun, who will miss at least six weeks after spraining his left ankle last week. Tim Hardaway Jr. will come off the bench after starting against Minnesota.

It was more of the same from DeRozan in this one as 14 of his 15 shot attempts came from inside the three-point line, but the Kings dropped their sixth consecutive game despite San Antonio missing superstar Victor Wembanyama (calf). The 36-year-old veteran remains an efficient scorer, but doesn’t offer much else for fantasy purposes at this stage of his career. The Kings are on the road for three challenging games against the Thunder, Grizzlies and Nuggets this upcoming week.

Sabonis, who has been playing through a lingering rib issue, continues to be a double-double machine and one of the league’s premier rebounders, with his 12.3 boards per game ranking fourth in the entire NBA. He recorded his ninth double-double in 11 games this season, but it wasn’t enough as Sacramento allowed San Antonio to shoot 54 percent from the field and dropped its sixth straight contest.

Schröder came within two points of matching his previous season-high mark in this one. The 32-year-old journeyman guard would make plenty of sense as a trade candidate if Sacramento falls out of playoff contention, but he doesn’t offer much fantasy appeal as a role player off the bench.

Strawther has appeared on the Nuggets’ injury report on multiple occasions due to lower back pain, with this being the most recent instance. Even with Christian Braun (ankle) out for 6-8 weeks, Strawther is unlikely to get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance if he’s cleared to play.

Johnson, who has struggled when available, did not play in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves. Peyton Watson received the starting nod and was productive; he may hold onto the job even if Johnson is deemed healthy enough to play. Given his struggles, Johnson is droppable in 12-team leagues.

Murray able to record his second double-double of the season and surpass 20 points for the seventh time this year despite a slow start to the night. He has cooled off after a hot start to the season, but Murray has still been a consistent source of offense for him all year. He set a new season-high for assists in what was Denver’s seventh straight win. With a four-game week coming up, expect more strong nights on offense from Murray.

Gordon has come back down to Earth since his 50-point outburst to open the season, but this ended up being one of his better offensive performances. It was also his first double-double of the year. Gordon has continued to develop his game every season, and his leap as a shooter has allowed him to average a career-high 2.5 three-pointers per game and shoot 88.9 percent from the free throw line thus far. Just two years ago, he hit 0.5 triples per game and shot 65.8 percent from the line.

With Cameron Johnson (ankle) sidelined, Watson was able to join the starting lineup. Watson’s streaming appeal comes from his defensive ability, and he was able to provide a taste of that in this game. Johnson’s return timeline isn’t clear, but as long as he’s out, Watson should be in the starting lineup, which gives him some value as a streamer.

With Christian Braun (ankle) set to miss at least six weeks, THJ was able to slide into the starting lineup and take advantage of the larger opportunity. He has been a streaky shooter throughout his career, and his shot was falling in this one. He should remain a starter, and with Nikola Jokić feeding him open looks, THJ should have no problem getting plenty of shots from deep. When they’re going in, he’s a valuable streaming option.

For the seventh time this season, Jokić was able to finish with a triple-double. He continues to be the best player in fantasy basketball every single night and finds new ways to impact the game. He wasn’t able to match his 55-point night from Denver’s last game, but this was the seventh straight game he scored at least 25 points. Regardless of his matchup, Jokić should continue to dominate every single night.

Jokić was initially listed as questionable, but he’ll be good to go in this one. The injury is to his non-dominant wrist, so it shouldn’t be a factor in this game. Jokić had 55 points in his last outing and will look to provide an encore in this one.

After missing Wednesday’s blowout loss to the Hawks, LaVine was back in the lineup. That wasn’t enough for them to get the win, but he was able to have a strong performance. LaVine has cooled off after a scorching hot start to the season, but in 11 appearances, he has scored at least 25 points seven times. Lavine will continue to be a focal point on offense for them, so there should be plenty more performances like this one in the future.

This was a historic night for Russ as he became the eighth player in NBA history to reach 10,000 assists. He also joined LeBron James as the only players to reach 25,000 points and 10,000 assists. He also recorded his second triple-double of the season and set a new season-high for dimes. It wasn’t enough to end the Kings’ losing streak, but it was a strong performance in his first game as their starting point guard. Westbrook should be rostered in standard leagues if you can deal with the inefficiencies.

Following a fourth straight home loss, Kings coach Doug Christie was clearly frustrated with his squad’s effort and discussed the possibility of making changes to the starting lineup. The lone change was moving Schroder to the bench, and he responded with a strong performance. That was great to see, but a move to the bench is still a bad thing for his upside in fantasy hoops. Schroder has struggled this year and shouldn’t be considered a must-roster player at this point.

Sabonis wasn’t able to help the Kings end their losing streak, but he had been struggling over their last few games, so it was good to see him get back on track in this one. After recording a double-double in his first seven games of the season, he had gone two straight without one, though that didn’t continue in this game. He also set a new season-high for scoring. Up next for Sabonis and the Kings is a matchup with the Spurs on Sunday to close out the week.

Murray didn’t shoot the ball well on Wednesday, but was still one of Denver’s top scorers on the evening. His biggest contributions came on the defensive end, however, where he logged a season-high in steals.

Gordon had an unspectacular, but somewhat productive night against the Clippers on Wednesday. He was one of four Nuggets players to score in double figures, and he finished tied for second in rebounds. Not much was asked of Gordon on a night in which Nikola Jokic scored 55 points and 18-of-23 shooting. Yet, he finished with decent production from a fantasy basketball standpoint, regardless. A more competitive game on Saturday against the Timberwolves could potentially lead to a more productive game from Gordon.

Jokic wasted no time putting the ball in the basket on Wednesday — he set the tone early with 25 first-quarter points and remained efficient the rest of the way before finishing with his first 50-point game of the season. The former Finals MVP punished the Clippers inside and outside the arc, and got to the foul line frequently, as well. He’s been tremendous after a slower start to the season, and has Denver performing like a legitimate title contender.

Sabonis was one of several Kings players to have a rough night on Wednesday against Atlanta. Sabonis’ performance was one of the better, though — he led all starters in scoring and was the only starter to collect multiple steals. Still, he failed to make an impact on the glass, and the overall production was very insignificant for the veteran center, whose scoring has slipped to begin this season.

DeRozan logged one of his least productive games of the season on Wednesday — he set season lows in points, field-goal attempts, and minutes. To be fair to the veteran forward, there weren’t many positive takeaways for any of Sacramento’s main rotation players on a night in which they trailed by as many as 44 points at home before losing by 33. DeRozan will have a chance to bounce back against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Eubanks was outstanding on Tuesday, holding his own defensively and providing solid offensive value. The 19 points were a season-high, and the 6-foot-10 center has reached double figures in four of his last five games. That said, Eubanks has been most valuable when starting center Domantas Sabonis is unavailable or dealing with foul trouble. The latter issue limited Sabonis to 26 minutes on Tuesday, leaving the other 22 to Eubanks. He isn’t a must-add, but that could change if the Kings hold Sabonis out of Wednesday’s game against the Hawks.

Brown, whose production had been modest in his first nine games, had his best showing of the season on Tuesday. He established a new season-high point total and matched his high in rebounds. However, what was most notable about Tuesday’s result was Brown being part of the closing lineup, with the struggling Cameron Johnson (five points, two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes) relegated to the bench.

Murray was back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Pacers with a calf issue, playing 37 minutes. And he was at his best in the fourth quarter, scoring ten of the Nuggets’ 37 points. Thus far, Murray has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (36) by a round in 12-team setups. Wednesday’s game against the Clippers could be an issue for Murray, even if there were no signs of the calf injury giving him any trouble during Tuesday’s victory. Consider him questionable for Wednesday night.
