As a result, DaRon Holmes will come off the bench.

Aaron Gordon - Will play Sunday Gordon (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact As expected, Gordon will shed his probable tag while the club manages his workload after a 19-game absence due to a right hamstring strain. The veteran forward has appeared in three of the Nuggets' last four games following the extended absence, during which he has averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 22.7 minutes per game off the bench.

Spencer Jones - Green light to play Sunday Jones (ankle/illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Jones was held out of Friday's game against the Hawks while battling both an ankle injury and an illness, but he's been cleared to return for Sunday's home contest. He should take on more responsibilities against Milwaukee due to the absences of Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) and Christian Braun (ankle).

Christian Braun - Not playing Sunday Braun (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact The writing was on the wall for Braun sitting Sunday after he downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day. With Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) also sidelined, Jalen Pickett, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway figure to be the top picks to enter Denver's starting lineup against Milwaukee. Braun's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Jamal Murray - Remaining out Sunday Murray (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Murray will miss his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. The star point guard is also under the weather, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Pelicans. With Murray out, Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown are candidates for increased playing time.

53 MINS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Christian Braun - Downgrades to questionable Braun (ankle) has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact The change in injury designation isn't a great sign for Braun, especially as the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff approaches. Bruce Brown, Jalen Pickett and Tim Hardaway would be the top candidates to enter the Nuggets' starting lineup if Braun is unable to play.

Spencer Jones - Questionable to play Sunday Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Jones didn't play Friday due to an ankle injury and an illness, and while he overcame the latter, the ankle issues persist for the second-year forward. Jones has started in each of his last 22 appearances, averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Jamal Murray - Carrying questionable tag Murray (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Murray didn't play in Friday's blowout loss to the Hawks and has missed two of the Nuggets' last three games. Not having the star floor general would be huge for Denver, as the Nuggets are already without star center Nikola Jokic (knee). Murray is averaging 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game over his last 10 outings. If he's out Sunday, look for Jalen Pickett and Bruce Bowen to see more time at point guard.

Aaron Gordon - Listed as probable for Sunday Gordon is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a right hamstring strain.

Impact Gordon was probable before Friday's game against the Hawks but ended up playing and posting 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes. He's yet to play more than 25 minutes since returning to the rotation on Jan. 4 after missing 19 contests between Nov. 22 and Jan. 2 due to the same right hamstring strain he's managing now. That said, the probable tag suggests Gordon should be able to play and handle the same workload he's been managing of late.

Christian Braun - Probable to play Sunday Braun is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Braun didn't score a single point in the loss to the Hawks on Friday, and while he's probable to suit up Sunday, the tag suggests he's likely to play. Braun has had a rough return to the lineup since coming back from an ankle problem three games ago, averaging just 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 26.2 minutes per game during that span.

Julian Strawther - Muted role cotninues Strawther accumulated zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes during Friday's 110-87 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Strawther was back in the rotation, albeit for just 10 minutes. He has played only three times in the past six games, averaging 2.0 points in 10.3 minutes per contest. At this point, there is no reason to consider rostering him outside of very deep leagues.

Peyton Watson - Breakout season continues Watson registered 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 110-87 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Watson continues to go from strength to strength, scoring at least 20 points for the sixth straight game, while also recording his second double-double of the season. Injuries to other players opened up an opportunity for Watson, and since that time, he has not looked back. In four games over the past week, he has averaged 25.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.8 three-pointers and 2.8 combined steals and blocks.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Christian Braun - Woeful in loss Braun closed with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one block across 25 minutes during Friday's 110-87 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Braun continued to struggle, failing to score despite playing 25 minutes. In three games since returning from injury, it's been tough going for Braun, averaging just 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 26.2 minutes per game. While he will almost certainly be ebtter than this, it's hard to make a case for him as a must-roster player, outside of deeper leagues.
