DEN • Power Forward and Small Forward • #32

During Denver’s January 23 win over the Bucks, Gordon aggravated a strained right hamstring that he initially suffered in November. He’ll be out for at least four to six weeks before being re-evaluated, so there’s no guarantee that Gordon will be fully healthy in time for the playoff weeks of some fantasy leagues. Spencer Jones has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

Gordon will miss a second straight game on Wednesday as he deals with a second hamstring strain. The injury has limited Gordon to just 23 appearances, which has been one of his best statistical seasons as a pro. Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones should continue to start at the forward spots, while Bruce Brown should come off the bench to play important minutes.

Gordon strained his right hamstring during the second quarter of Friday’s win over the Bucks. This is the second time he’s injured his hamstring this season, so an extended absence may be in play. While DaRon Holmes II may pick up a few more minutes, Zeke Nnaji is the player fantasy managers should consider after he logged 37 productive minutes in Milwaukee.

The injury occurred in the second quarter when Gordon pushed the ball in transition. As he attacked, he pulled up suddenly, reached for his hamstring, and then surrendered possession of the ball to a teammate. He exited at the next deadball and was eventually ruled out in the third quarter. Gordon had already dealt with a hamstring injury this season, so a reaggregation may cause the Nuggets to take a cautious approach going forward.

Gordon was back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Hornets, pushing DaRon Holmes II (DNP-CD) out of the rotation entirely. While he didn’t record any defensive stats, Gordon’s points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers were solid. The combination of decreased defensive production and poor foul shooting has negatively affected Gordon’s fantasy value recently, pushing him outside the top-100. That said, he’ll be worth holding onto as long as the Nuggets are without Nikola Jokić.

After sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Hornets, Gordon is back. His return likely pushes DaRon Holmes II to the bench, where his already low fantasy ceiling disappears. There’s no need to consider holding onto Holmes in redraft leagues.

Gordon missed Sunday’s game, which was the second night of a back-to-back. DaRon Holmes returned to the starting lineup in his place, but he was out of the rotation entirely in their previous game. With Gordon expected back, Holmes likely won’t see the floor much against Los Angeles.

Sunday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Nuggets, who continue to exercise caution with Gordon’s workload. DaRon Holmes II was the replacement the last time Gordon missed a game, but Zeke Nnaji played more minutes and was more productive.

Gordon’s workload is still being managed due to a lingering hamstring injury, and it’s possible he sits out the second leg of Denver’s back-to-back set. If Gordon is out, DaRon Holmes II and Zeke Nnaji could see bumps in playing time.

While Gordon didn’t do much scoring on Saturday, the rebounding and facilitating boosted his final stat line. The Nuggets forward recorded his third double-double of the season and first since returning from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for six weeks. While Gordon is ranked outside the top-150 over the past two weeks, it’s fair to expect that the production will continue to improve as he gets further removed from the hamstring injury.

Gordon is good to go after initially being listed as probable for Saturday’s game. His minutes may still be managed to a certain extent, but Gordon should play enough to offer reliable fantasy value.

Gordon doesn’t appear to be in serious jeopardy of missing Saturday’s game against the Wizards. The 30-year-old power forward is listed as probable with a hamstring injury. With Nikola Jokic and Christian Braun sidelined, the Nuggets will need Gordon in this one.

Gordon provided fantasy managers with decent production on Wednesday, surpassing the 20-point mark on the evening while draining a trio of three-pointers. The veteran forward played only 29 minutes in the win but still finished as Denver’s second-leading scorer. Surely he is capable of greater performances, but Wednesday’s final line should serve as a nice floor on nights when the high production isn’t required.

Gordon was initially probable for this game and has now officially been cleared. He returned to the starting lineup on Sunday and will likely remain in that role again. This is the first game of a back-to-back, so don’t be surprised if Gordon is sidelined on Wednesday against the Mavericks.

Gordon had 23 points in 32 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Bucks. While he’s listed on the injury report for Tuesday against the Pelicans with a hamstring injury, he’s likely to play given his probable listing. The 30-year-old power forward will be needed in this one with Nikola Jokic and Christian Braun sidelined and Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) questionable.

Gordon calmly knocked down a pair of free throws in the final five seconds to effectively ice the game and 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Gordon looked sharp in his first game action since November 21, finishing a couple boards shy of a double-double in limited minutes off the bench, following a six-week absence recovering from a hamstring strain. The 30-year-old’s return couldn’t come at a more opportune moment for the injury-ravaged Nuggets, who are missing several starters including franchise icon Nikola Jokić (knee).

If he’s able to play, Sunday’s game would be Gordon’s first since November 21. Spencer Jones has filled in admirably in Gordon’s absence, but the two-way contract forward’s fantasy ceiling would take a significant hit once he returns to the bench.

Gordon suffered a strained right hamstring during Friday’s win over the Rockets. According to Charania, it is a Grade 2 strain, and the Nuggets forward will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks. Gordon was already dealing with bilateral hamstring issues, and he played through a strain in Game 7 of last season’s second-round series against the Thunder. Losing Gordon will significantly impact Denver’s rotation, especially with Christian Braun (ankle) already out. Spencer Jones started Saturday’s loss to the Kings but provided minimal value in his 24 minutes on the court. Between his recent play and the absences of Gordon and Braun, now is a good time to hop back onto the Cameron Johnson bandwagon. Over his last four games, he’s averaged 15.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.8 three-pointers while shooting 56.8 percent from the field.

Gordon, who was dealing with some hamstring soreness ahead of Friday’s win over the Rockets, suffered a strained right hamstring during the second quarter. He won’t play on Saturday, and Nuggets head coach David Adelman said following Friday’s win that he expects Gordon to miss some time. While Spencer Jones started the third quarter, Zeke Nnaji is another possibility to replace Gordon in the starting lineup. Nnaji started Wednesday’s win over the Pelicans.

Gordon left Friday’s game with a strained right hamstring in the second quarter. He was already dealing with hamstring soreness, most recently sitting out the November 19 win over the Pelicans. However, with the strain, Gordon will likely miss time. Spencer Jones started the third quarter, but he hasn’t done enough to merit being streamed. Fantasy managers should focus on Peyton Watson and Cameron Johnson when seeking value in Gordon’s absence.
