Impact Watson put together a stellar final line, highlighted by a team-high 35 points, which also marks a season high. The 23-year-old was a menace on the defensive end, where he compiled a team-best four swats and accounted for two of Denver's nine steals. Watson has now reached the 30-point threshold in two of his previous six appearances and continues to play at a high level as the Nuggets navigate without Nikola Jokic (knee).

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Available to play Hardaway (knee) is available for Thursday's game in Washington.

Impact Hardaway was being listed as probable and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there Thursday night. Hardaway struggled with his shot in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, going just 2-for-12 from the field, but he'll have a good chance of bouncing back Thursday with a much more favorable matchup against the Wizards.

Aaron Gordon - Cleared to play Gordon (hamstring) will play Thursday night against Washington.

Impact Gordon was added to the injury report with a right hamstring issue, but it won't hold him out of the first half of a back-to-back in Washington. He's been sharp since re-joining the starting lineup, averaging 17.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists in five appearances.

Jonas Valanciunas - Will play Thursday Valanciunas (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Valanciunas is available to play for the first time since Dec. 31 due to a calf strain. The veteran center could have a minutes restriction, but his return should have a negative impact on the minutes of Zeke Nnaji and DaRon Holmes.

Jamal Murray - Will go Thursday Murray (hip) will play Thursday against Washington.

Impact Murray's availability wasn't truly in doubt after being added to the injury report as probable due to a left hip issue. He's fresh off a strong performance Tuesday against the Lakers, finishing with 28 points and 11 assists in 36 minutes.

Jonas Valanciunas - Expected to play Thursday Valanciunas (calf) is expected to play Thursday versus the Wizards, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

Impact This will be Valanciunas' first game since Dec. 31, so he'll likely have some minutes restrictions, but his return will likely result in less playing time for DaRon Holmes and Zeke Nnaji. While Valanciunas may be brought along slowly, he'll have a ton of opportunity while Nikola Jokic (knee) is out, so make sure he's not floating around on your waiver wire.
