GAME LOG
Jamal Murray - Battling bilateral ankle sprains Murray (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday against Chicago.
Impact Murray's status for the second game of Denver's back-to-back set Tuesday is undetermined, but he logged a full workload in Monday's win over Atlanta, delivering 29 points in 29 minutes. Murray is tending to soreness in both ankles, and although he didn't suffer any aggravation in Monday's contest, Denver could opt to be cautious in ramping up the 26-year-old.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Strawther - Best game of season Monday Strawther chipped in 22 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and five steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 129-122 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Strawther came out firing off the bench, and the Nuggets rode his hot hand in Monday's tight road win over Atlanta. As a result, Strawther posted a season-high mark in both minutes played and points scored. However, he's not expected to score in double digits off the bench regularly, as he's achieved that feat just four times in the current campaign. Fantasy managers should temper their expectations with the rookie out of Gonzaga, as there's a strong chance this game might have been an outlier and not a sign to come for him soon.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Shines on both ends Monday Jokic accumulated 25 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 129-122 win over the Hawks.
Impact Jamal Murray and Julian Strawther stood out on offense for the Nuggets, and while Jokic still posted the second-highest scoring mark on the team, he made his presence felt in other areas, as evidenced by the fact that he ended just two rebounds and one assist away from a triple-double. Filling out the stat sheet is nothing special for the star big man, as he continues to deliver first-round value even when he doesn't play at his best. Through his last 10 games, Jokic is averaging an outstanding 27.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 10.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Sniffs double-double in win Murray contributed 29 points (12-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 129-122 victory over Atlanta.
Impact The Nuggets had to work harder than expected down the stretch to close out the win over the Hawks, and Murray played a prominent role in the victory -- he led the team in scoring and finished just one rebound shy of posting his third double-double of the campaign. The star point guard has endured a tough time due to several injuries and has logged just seven games since the start of November, but he's excellent when available. As long as he's healthy, he should play a prominent role on offense for the Nuggets operating as the second-best option behind Nikola Jokic.

Murray scores 29, Jokic adds 25 as Nuggets end 3-game skid, beat Bogdanovic, Hawks 129-122

Jamal Murray scored 29 points, Nikola Jokic rediscovered his shooting touch to score 25 and the Denver Nuggets ended their three-game skid, holding off the Atlanta Hawks 129-122
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • Associated Press
Jamal Murray - Officially available Monday Murray (ankle) is active for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Murray is set to make his third straight start while Denver looks to snap a three-game losing streak entering Monday. Reggie Jackson and Christian Braun will combine to provide guard play in the second unit.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Likely available Monday Murray (ankle) is probable for Monday's matchup against the Hawks.
Impact Murray is still working his way back from a right ankle sprain that caused him to miss extended time. He was listed as probable ahead of Friday's loss to Houston, but he totaled 21 points, five rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during that contest. While Murray will likely be available Monday, he could take a seat for rest purposes during the second half of Denver's back-to-back set Tuesday in Chicago.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Braun - Disappoints in loss Friday Braun ended Friday's 114-106 loss to the Rockets with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 14 minutes.
Impact Braun managed just two points in 14 minutes, the fewest he has scored in almost two weeks. He has played fewer than 20 minutes in five of the past six games, struggling to maintain a consistent role. It is unclear what his exact role is moving forward, and the improved play of Peyton Watson only complicates matters. At this point, Braun does not need to be rostered outside of deeper formats.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Peyton Watson - Logs season-high 26 minutes Watson closed Friday's 114-106 loss to the Rockets with 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes.
Impact Watson scored 13 points in the loss, logging a season-high 26 minutes. He played over Aaron Gordon here, a situation worth monitoring moving forward. Watson has a fantasy-friendly game and at this point, needs more playing time. Gordon has been struggling thus far but should eventually turn things around. Watson isn't someone who needs to be prioritized in standard leagues but is worth keeping an eye on.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Scores empty 14 points Caldwell-Pope contributed 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one block over 25 minutes during Friday's 114-106 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Caldwell-Pope scored 14 points in the loss but added very little else. It's been another serviceable season for the veteran, moving on and off waiver wires daily. His role typically affords him enough opportunity to put up 12-team numbers. Unfortunately, he is such a low-volume producer that he is much better suited for roto formats than category leagues.

Green scores 26 as Rockets beat Nuggets 114-106 for 1st road win

Jamal Murray - Available Friday Murray (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Impact Murray was probable on the Nuggets' injury report for Friday's matchup and will officially be able to suit up despite his right ankle sprain. He also suited up Wednesday against the Clippers with restrictions, but he still posted 23 points, six assists, a steal and a block in 29 minutes.

Jamal Murray - Probable for Friday Murray is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain.
Impact Murray has not recovered entirely from the sprain affecting him of late, but the probable tag suggests he should play with little to no limitations against the Rockets. If that's the case, then Murray should remain in the starting lineup with Reggie Jackson operating as a backup. Murray is averaging 17.0 points and 7.1 assists per game this season.
DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Porter Jr. - Sniffs double-double in loss Porter finished Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Clippers with 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and one block in 34 minutes.
Impact Porter's totals have been a bit volatile this season, but you can see several improvements in Porter's game in the early stages of the 2023-24 campaign. His hot has been dialed in, averaging 48.7 percent from the floor over 22 games, and he's also averaging a career-high 7.5 three-point attempts per game, thus expanding his value as a scorer. Porter's rebounding numbers are also much improved, with an average of 8.1 boards per game.
DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Productive in loss Murray logged 23 points (10-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Although there was talk of a minute restriction for Murray, he played 29 minutes and appeared 100 percent after the ankle injury that sidelined him for 11 games. He sat out the back-to-back games after logging only 16 minutes in his return, and we may see some additional instances where Murray takes a seat for injury management.
DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Racks up triple-double in loss Jokic racked up 22 points (9-32 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Although Jokic was the clear leader in the paint, the MVP candidate found little assistance from his supporting cast in the loss. Jamal Murray's return has boosted the team's fortunes, but Jokic has had to a lot of the heavy lifting with three triple-doubles over the past four games.
