Denver Nuggets News and Rumors - NBA

DaRon Holmes II - Starting Sunday vs. Charlotte Holmes is in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Hornets on Sunday.

Impact Holmes has not been a regular member of the Nuggets' rotation as of late. However, he'll get a chance Sunday to earn a larger role for himself after being moved to the starting lineup due to the absence of Aaron Gordon (hamstring).

Jamal Murray - Good to go Sunday Murray (ankle/illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact As expected, Murray will shed his probable tag due to a sprained left ankle and an illness. The star point guard recorded his third straight 30-plus-point performance in Saturday's win over the Wizards, during which he notched 42 points (15-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six assists, three rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 39 minutes.

Bruce Brown - Good to go vs. Charlotte Brown (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Brown has been a mainstay on the injury report as of late while managing right knee inflammation, but the veteran wing has been given the green light to play Sunday. He has averaged 5.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals over 24.6 minutes per game since Jan. 2.

45 MINS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Gordon - Unavailable vs. Hornets Gordon (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Gordon was added to the injury report as questionable earlier in the day due to a hamstring injury, and the team has elected to shut him down for Sunday's clash. Look for Zeke Nnaji and DaRon Holmes to see an uptick in playing time as the only two healthy centers.

Aaron Gordon - Questionable Sunday Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact The Nuggets continue to include Gordon on the injury report following an extended absence due to a right hamstring strain, though he has a chance to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set after playing 32 minutes in Saturday's win over the Wizards. The veteran forward has appeared in seven of the Nuggets' eight games this month, during which he has averaged 16.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 27.4 minutes per contest. He has started four straight games, logging at least 30 minutes in all of them.

Bruce Brown - Expected to play Sunday Brown (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Brown continues to find his name on the injury report due to right knee inflammation, but the issue hasn't yet forced him to miss any time. The team should have another update on his availability closer to Sunday's tipoff.

Jamal Murray - Probable Sunday Murray (ankle/illness) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Murray is under the weather while also dealing with a sprained left ankle, though he's likely to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The star point guard posted 42 points (15-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six assists, three rebounds, two blocks and two steals in Saturday's win over Washington. The 28-year-old has reached the 30-point threshold in three straight games, averaging 36.7 points, 6.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks in 38.0 minutes per contest during that span.

Christian Braun - Sitting again Sunday Braun (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Braun is still on the mend from a left ankle sprain and will miss his fifth straight matchup. The fact that he hasn't yet been upgraded to either questionable or doubtful ahead of a game is likely a sign that he's not yet close to a return, though the team has yet to provide a firm timetable on when he may be cleared to take the court.

Aaron Gordon - Just misses triple-double in win Gordon posted eight points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 victory over the Wizards.

Impact While he fell one bucket short of his third career-triple-double, Gordon still tied his season high in boards and set a new high-water mark in assists in a most unusual double-double. The veteran forward has looked good in four games since rejoining the starting five, averaging 17.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch.

Peyton Watson - Stays productive Saturday Watson had 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 win over Washington.

Impact The fourth-year forward scored in double digits for a 12th straight game as he continues his breakout campaign. Over that stretch, Watson is averaging 21.8 points, 6.0 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks while shooting 51.6 percent from the floor and 41.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Pours in season-high 30 Hardaway ended Saturday's 121-115 victory over the Wizards with 30 points (10-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 36 minutes.

Impact Only three Nuggets produced double digits on the night, but Hardaway wasn't even the team's leading scorer, as Jamal Murray went off for 42. It was still a season-best scoring effort for Hardaway, and the veteran forward has delivered double-digit points in all eight of his January appearances, averaging 18.8 points, 3.9 threes, 2.4 boards and 1.3 assists on the month.

Jamal Murray - Erupts for 42 in Saturday's win Murray had 42 points (15-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 win over the Wizards.

Impact The 28-year-old guard led all scorers on the night as he put together his best offensive performance since Dec. 3, when he dropped a season-high 52 on the Pacers. Murray has topped 30 points in six of his last 11 games dating back to Dec. 23, averaging 29.5 points, 9.5 assists, 4.9 boards, 3.6 threes and 1.3 combined steals and blocks over that stretch.
