Nuggets find groove on road, look to take down Nets Dec 20, 2023; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (15) drives to the net against Toronto Raptors forward O.G.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • SUNHERALD.COM
Aaron Gordon - Expected to suit up Friday Gordon (heel) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Gordon has consistently received probable tags before being upgraded to available while dealing with a lingering heel issue. The 28-year-old forward has scored at least 12 points in each of his last six outings.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Peyton Watson - Posts solid numbers off bench Watson finished with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 victory over Toronto.
Impact Watson finished as the high scorer among Denver's reserves while also leading the second unit with 18 minutes. The forward's contributions were the result of efficient shooting, as he missed just one of his six field-goal tries. Watson has scored in double digits in a season-high four straight contests and is shooting an impressive 69.0 percent (20-for-29) from the field over that stretch.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Puts up 20 points in road victory Murray supplied 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 win over Toronto.
Impact Murray didn't have a great shooting performance Wednesday, but he still finished as Denver's second-leading scorer behind Nikola Jokic. The point guard also tied for the team lead with six assists and two blocks. Murray has hit the 20-point mark in consecutive games after failing to do so in each of his previous two contests.
DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Grounds Raptors with double-double Jokic ended with 31 points (13-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 win over the Raptors.
Impact Jokic finished as the leading scorer and leading rebounder among all players in the contest, putting up his third double-double over his past four games. That kind of stretch is nothing new for the big man, who leads the NBA with 24 double-doubles -- and 10 triple-doubles -- on the campaign. Jokic's shooting performance Wednesday was also a positive development, as he entered the contest uncharacteristically shooting just 43.2 percent over his previous seven games.

Aaron Gordon - Good to go Wednesday Gordon (heel) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Impact As expected, Gordon has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a ninth straight game despite consistently being on the injury report. Over his last eight appearances, Gordon has averaged 13.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Aaron Gordon - Returns to injury report Gordon (heel) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Impact Gordon's right heel has been a mainstay on the injury report throughout the past month, but the 28-year-old has only missed four games due to the issue. He's firmly on track to play Wednesday after suiting up for Denver's last eight contests.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - Scores 20 in 19 minutes Jackson closed with 20 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and four assists in 19 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over Dallas.
Impact This game was over very quickly, so Denver's second unit saw a lot of extra run. Jackson was one of the many players to benefit, playing 19 minutes compared to 25 for Jamal Murray. Jackson has been a huge part of Denver's success this season and usually delivers when his number is called.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Porter Jr. - Plays only 23 minutes Porter recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over the Mavericks.
Impact Denver blew Dallas out, so Porter and the rest of the Nuggets' starters played fewer minutes than usual. Coming into the contest, Porter was in a minor offensive slump, averaging 12.3 points on 34.0 percent shooting over his previous four appearances. However, on the season, he's averaging 16.8 points while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from deep, so it's safe to expect the sharpshooter to bounce back eventually.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Pours in 21 points Gordon provided 21 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 130-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Impact Gordon's 21 points matched his season-best mark, and he likely would've passed it with ease if not for the lopsided score. Nikola Jokic led all starters with just 28 minutes played, and Denver's core was able to get some extra rest. Considering Gordon has been carrying probable tags due to a lingering heel issue, extra rest is only going to help him.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Limited in blowout Jokic closed Monday's 130-104 win over the Mavericks with eight points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 28 minutes.
Impact Though the Mavericks kept things fairly competitive in the first half, the Nuggets pulled away in the third quarter, leaving most of the fourth quarter as garbage time. This game was just the third time this season Jokic has failed to produce double digits in any category, but there's no reason for fantasy managers to be concerned. He has 10 triple-doubles in his 27 appearances this season.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Strawther - Drops 12 points off bench Strawther notched 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 130-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Impact Strawther scored nine of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, as he took advantage of the lopsided score. Nikola Jokic led the starters in minutes played with 28, so Denver's second unit of Strawther, Peyton Watson, Reggie Jackson and Zeke Nnaji were all able to do some damage late. Strawther's role for most of December has been pretty sporadic, and he's hitting just 39.7 percent from the field through nine contests.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zeke Nnaji - Scores 14 points Nnaji had 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Monday's 130-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Impact Nnaji scored eight of his 14 points in the fourth quarter with the game getting out of hand pretty quickly. His 14 points mark a new season high, and the same is true of his minutes (20). Nnaji has been the third-string center behind Nikola Jokic and DeAndre Jordan and has made just three appearances in December, but credit to him for staying ready when his number was called.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Peyton Watson - Impresses off bench Watson logged 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 130-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Impact The Nuggets put this game away early and won by 26 points, allowing the second unit to see extra reps. Watson played the entire fourth quarter as a result, and he made the most of his newfound minutes. Watson has been on fire in his last three outings, shooting 65.2 percent from the field with averages of 13.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.
