AG will be sidelined for the second night of this back-to-back. Peyton Watson should slide into the starting unit for this game, though there could be a few minutes for Zeke Nnaji or Hunter Tyson off the bench.

Gordon is managing a left hamstring injury and could miss Saturday’s game against the Pacers. The 30-year-old power forward is off to a hot shooting start this season. Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji would be the primary candidates to see extra minutes in Gordon’s absence.

Gordon dropped 50 points in the Nuggets’ season-opening overtime loss to the Warriors. The 30-year-old power forward failed to record even 20 points in the next four games, but has now bounced back with at least 20 points in the last two games. Gordon’s shooting seems to be improved this season and the Nuggets are in no position to curb his usage on offense this year.

Gordon hasn’t approached the heights he reached in Denver’s opener, scoring 50 points in a loss to the Warriors. In fact, Monday’s effort was his first 20-point game since then. However, Gordon is still shooting the ball with excellent accuracy and averaging 2.5 three-pointers per game. The veteran forward is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, something few fantasy managers expected before the season began. Maintaining that production level may prove difficult, but Gordon’s improved shooting has done wonders for his fantasy profile.

Gordon had an unreal start to this game, making his first eight attempts from beyond the arc. He ended up setting a new career-high for both points and three-pointers, with the 10th triple giving Denver a lead late in the fourth before Stephen Curry forced overtime. Gordon only added five more points in the extra frame, with two of those coming after the game was all but over. It was a monster performance that was wasted in the loss, though that aspect won’t matter for fantasy managers. Gordon has certainly improved as a three-point shooter in recent years, but this was a performance that he certainly won’t replicate.

Dealing with what was reported as a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Gordon shocked many by playing in Sunday’s game. Give him credit for attempting to play through the injury, and early on, it appeared as if the Thunder weren’t willing to test Gordon’s health thoroughly. While effective as a rebounder, the Nuggets forward could not provide much else in his 25 minutes on the court. The defeat gives Gordon time to recover from his hamstring injury, and he should be good to go when training camp opens in September. Gordon has primarily been a late-round player in Denver, and that’s unlikely to change in 2025-26, even with his improvement as a perimeter shooter this season.

Gordon will surprisingly take the court after being diagnosed with an injury that should have kept him out for multiple weeks. How many minutes he plays and how he looks will be things to keep an eye on throughout the winner-take-all contest.

According to Shams, Gordon will need several weeks to recover from the injury. He’s been looking for ways to play on Sunday, “but it is becoming physically improbable to do so.” Gordon hasn’t officially been ruled out, but there’s little chance he takes the court, which is a devastating blow for Denver. Gordon has averaged 16.8 points and 7.3 boards in the 2025 postseason, and his production will likely be picked up by a committee of Russell Westbrook, Julian Strawther and Peyton Watson.

Gordon is said to be a true game-time decision after he injured his left hamstring in Game 6. His availability appears to be in doubt, though the Nuggets hope he will play. Tyson has missed the last three games with an ankle injury. He wasn’t part of the Nuggets’ rotation, but could see some minutes if he’s healthy and Gordon is out. Russell Westbrook, Julian Strawther and Peyton Watson will all have added importance if Gordon is unavailable.

Gordon injured his left hamstring during Denver’s Game 6 victory on Thursday. While ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Friday evening that the forward’s status for Game 7 is in serious doubt, the Nuggets are hoping that Gordon will play. He’ll be evaluated once he arrives at the arena on Sunday, with the medical staff determining Gordon’s availability and, if cleared, how much he can play. Peyton Watson, Russell Westbrook and Julian Strawther will all have heightened importance if Gordon cannot play.

Gordon injured his hamstring during Thursday’s Game 6 victory, forcing a decisive Game 7 on Sunday. While Charania did not report the grade of the Nuggets’ forward’s strain, Gordon’s availability for Game 7 is in doubt. Multiple reserves will have added value if the Nuggets are forced to play without their starting power forward. Russell Westbrook, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther will all be asked to contribute even more than they have in this series.

They’ll have two days off before Game 7 on Sunday, so hopefully that will be enough time for Gordon to recover after he tweaked his left hamstring with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter. It will likely take a significant injury to keep Gordon off the floor for a Game 7, but if that happens, Russell Westbrook, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther would all have to step up to help fill the void.

Gordon was mostly held in check on the offensive end, finishing with his fewest three-point makes of the series, the second-lowest scoring output, and no production from the free throw line. While Gordon has made several big plays down the stretch of games this postseason, he was notably quiet in Game 5, making his line feel even less spectacular. He’s performed well in Denver’s two home games this series and will need to empty the tank on Thursday in Game 6 to help the Nuggets keep their season alive.

Gordon wasn’t able to replicate his same magic from Games 1 and 3, but he was able to produce a strong stat line in Sunday’s loss. Gordon has been Denver’s most consistent player in this series and has kept them afloat with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray struggling. Expect Gordon to continue to play well in Game 5 on Tuesday as Denver looks to steal another game on the road.

Gordon’s growth as a shooter has been impressive to watch. During the regular season, he shot a career-best 43.6 percent from three on 3.4 attempts per game. That’s carried over into the postseason, with Gordon shooting 4-of-6 from deep in Game 3. His biggest shot occurred with 2.4 seconds remaining in regulation, as a corner three-pointer forced overtime. The Nuggets would outscore Oklahoma City by an 11-2 margin in the extra period to take a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 is on Sunday afternoon.

For the second time this postseason, the Nuggets won a game thanks to Gordon’s heroics. While it was a dunk that sealed Denver’s Game 4 win over the Clippers, the veteran forward hit a three-pointer with 2.9 seconds remaining to knock off the Thunder. Gordon shot 3-of-6 from three, and his confidence as a shooter has improved substantially this season. During the regular season, he shot a career-high 43.6 percent on 3.4 attempts per game. Gordon and the Nuggets will look to extend their series lead on Wednesday.

Gordon led a balanced attack for the Nuggets to help them advance to the next round. He was one of six players to score in double figures for Denver, which included all five starters. Gordon had a strong series, and they’ll need him to continue to play at a high level against Oklahoma City in the second round. The Nuggets went 3-0 in the first round when Gordon scored at least 20 points.

Having shot 40 percent from three in the first five games of the series, Gordon provided solid value in that category after making a career-best 43.6 percent of his attempts during the regular season. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, he came back to earth on Thursday, going 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. While Gordon shot the ball well overall, better three-point shooting would have helped the Nuggets compensate for Michael Porter Jr.'s poor night. Denver will host Game 7 on Saturday night.

To argue that Gordon may have saved Denver’s season on Saturday would not be an exaggeration. In a play similar to Lorenzo Charles’ dunk to win the 1983 national title for NC State, the Nuggets’ forward slammed home a Nikola Jokic airball as time expired to even the series at two games apiece. Still struggling with a calf that sidelined him on multiple occasions during the regular season, Gordon shot over 50 percent from the field and finished in double figures for the fourth straight game. Game 5 is on Tuesday night.

Gordon got off to a hot start Thursday night, scoring 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field in the first quarter. Unfortunately for him, that was as good as it got in Game 3, and a lingering right calf injury could be a factor. During the game, the NBATV announcers reported that Nuggets interim coach David Adelman had informed them that Gordon would not be playing if it were the regular season. But it’s the postseason, so the veteran forward is doing his best to push through the injury. Game 4 is on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Gordon played 46 of a possible 53 minutes in Saturday’s overtime victory to open the series. He’s on the injury report for injury management reasons, and the probable tag suggests Gordon will be available in the end. Peyton Watson, who logged 14 minutes in Game 1, will take on additional playing time if the Nuggets’ starting power forward is limited in any way.

Having finished the regular season with three consecutive games of at least 18 points, Gordon carried that positive form into Saturday’s playoff opener. During the regular season, he scored 20 points or more in 12 games, four more than his total during the 2023-24 campaign. While Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray are expected to lead the way offensively for the Nuggets, receiving consistent production from Gordon is crucial if they are to win this series. Denver will host Game 2 on Monday night.

Gordon did a little bit of everything in this game to help Denver clinch the fourth seed in the West. It was a balanced attack for Denver, and they ended up taking control of the game in the third quarter, which limited Gordon to just 26 minutes. However, he was still able to turn in a full stat line. They will get a week off before taking on the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs.

Gordon put up his third game with at least 30 points over the last month against the Grizzlies Friday. The 29-year-old power forward stepped up his scoring as Jamal Murray was in his first game back from a hamstring injury. Gordon, who averages 14 points per game this year, had a ceiling game against a tough Memphis defense. His varied skillset allows him to fill any role the team needs him to and he showed up for the Nuggets once again.

Gordon recorded eight assists for the second time in five games on Friday, finishing the Nuggets’ defeat with a solid stat line. Over the past two weeks, he has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats. On nights when the Nuggets are without Jamal Murray, there’s a little more room for Gordon to provide value as a playmaker, with Friday being a prime example. The Nuggets end Week 22 on Sunday against the Pacers.

AG stepped up on the offensive end with both Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. sidelined. After scoring a total of 13 points across his last two appearances, AG stepped up and had his seventh game with at least 20 points since the All-Star break. Prior to the break, Gordon had just three 20-point games. Gordon has been able to fill whatever role the team needs him to, and while it wasn’t enough to get a win in this game, he needed to be a scorer. Denver will play San Antonio on Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back. Gordon hasn’t played both legs of a back-to-back since February, and that likely won’t change against the Spurs.

Gordon sat out Monday’s matchup with Chicago, but he’s got a chance to return after a one-game absence. If Gordon is sidelined, Peyton Watson could be in line for additional playing time. Watson scored a career-high 24 points on Monday with Gordon out.

Gordon will be out after playing 37 minutes on the first night of Denver’s back-to-back. Gordon has played in their last four games, but Russell Westbrook or Peyton Watson will replace AG in the starting unit. The other will still see extra minutes off the bench.

While he has not been officially ruled out yet, Gordon is not expected to play in Denver’s second game in as many nights. With Nikola Jokic (ankle) already out, the Nuggets may be forced to rely on DeAndre Jordan and Peyton Watson in the frontcourt. Both players will be worth streaming if allowed to start.
