Denver Nuggets News and Rumors Page 400 - NBA

Reggie Jackson - Coming off bench Jackson won't start Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact After erupting for 35 points and 13 assists in Monday's win as a starter, Jackson will return to his typical reserve role with Jamal Murray (hamstring) healthy. In seven appearances with the second unit, Jackson is averaging 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals/blocks over 21.5 minutes.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hunter Tyson - Cleared for action Wednesday Tyson (illness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Tyson will return from a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. Considering the Nuggets will only be missing Aaron Gordon on Wednesday, Tyson will likely be a fantasy non-factor.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Peyton Watson - Good to go Wednesday Watson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Watson has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a non-COVID illness. With Aaron Gordon (heel) out, Watson should continue to receive extended playing time.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jamal Murray - Returning to face Rockets Murray (hamstring) will play in Wednesday's game against Houston, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Murray will make his long-awaited return after missing 11 games with a right hamstring strain. While it's likely Murray will be under some sort of restrictions, he should be expected to replace Reggie Jackson in the first unit for Wednesday's tilt. In the seven games he's played, Murray averaged 16.3 points, 7.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds over 30.9 minutes.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Jokic - Suiting up Wednesday Jokic (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Jokic will return from a one-game absence with back soreness for Wednesday's tilt. He'll likely supplant DeAndre Jordan in the first five. Over his last three outings, Jokic is averaging 35.7 points, 14.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 3.0 steals/blocks across 37.6 minutes.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Gordon - Ruled out against Houston Gordon (heel) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Rockets, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Gordon will miss his third straight game Wednesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with a right heel strain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Phoenix.

Hunter Tyson - Iffy for Wednesday Tyson (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Tyson is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. However, the rookie forward's potential absence shouldn't affect Denver's rotation.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Peyton Watson - Expected to play against Houston Watson (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Watson has been dealing with a non-COVID illness but has suited up in each of Denver's last two contests. The second-year forward is averaging 3.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 assists in 15.0 minutes across his last five appearances.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jamal Murray - Chance to suit up Wednesday Murray (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Murray has missed 11 straight games due to a right hamstring strain, but as Shams Charania of The Athletic reported earlier in the week, the point guard will have a chance to suit up Wednesday. If available, Murray would presumably be subject to a minute restriction following a lengthy absence, but more information on his workload will likely be available prior to the 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

Aaron Gordon - Questionable for Wednesday Gordon (heel) is questionable to play Wednesday against Houston.

Impact Gordon has missed back-to-back contests due to a right heel strain. If he's forced to miss a third contest, Justin Holiday and Julian Strawther will absorb most of his minutes, while Reggie Jackson's heavy usage will continue.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Jokic - Listed as questionable Jokic (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup versus the Rockets.

Impact Jokic missed his first game of the season Monday due to lower back pain and is listed as questionable for a second straight game. Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (heel) are also questionable, so at the moment, it's unclear what the Nuggets' rotation will look like. If Jokic is sidelined again, DeAndre Jordan, Zeke Nnaji and Peyton Watson would be candidates for increased roles.

Russell Westbrook gets in dispute with fan after Clippers loss vs. Nuggets | The Herd

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Michael Porter Jr. - Grabs 10 boards in win Porter recorded eight points (3-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Monday's 113-104 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Porter failed to step up offensively with Jamal Murray (hamstring), Nikola Jokic (back) and Aaron Gordon (heel) sidelined, but the sharpshooter made his presence felt by grabbing double-digit rebounds for the sixth time this season. The poor shooting night can likely be chalked up as an outlier, as it was just the fourth time this season he failed to score in double figures. On the season, Porter is averaging 16.9 points and 7.8 rebounds while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from deep.

Russell Westbrook confronts fan after Clippers' loss to Nuggets, condemns 'inappropriate' heckling | Sporting News As time wound down in the Clippers' confounding home loss to the Nuggets, frustrations reached a boiling point.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Zeke Nnaji - Eight points from bench Nnaji recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks in 12 minutes during Monday's 113-104 win over the Clippers.

Impact Nnaji was expected to draw the start with Nikola Jokic (back) out, but the Nuggets elected to play the matchup and pit DeAndre Jordan against his former team. While the decision succeeded with flying colors, Nnaji still had an impact in 12 minutes on the court. Although one shouldn't expect Jordan to stay this productive, Monday's switch puts a question mark next to Nnaji's future as Jokic's direct replacement.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DeAndre Jordan - Turns back clock in old arena Jordan recorded 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-11 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 113-104 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Jordan drew the start in place of Nikola Jokic (back), and Clippers fans got a dose of nostalgia as they watched Jordan and Reggie Jackson pick apart their old team. Although it's been six years since Jordan last donned a Clippers uniform, he looked as aggressive as ever. His drive-and-dunks off of Jackson's passes were reminiscent of the old-school days in the Staples Center. Jordan is buried in the depth chart and Jackson will join him soon, but it was a nice moment for the duo.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reggie Jackson - Blows up against former team Jackson provided 35 points (15-19 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 113-104 win over the Clippers.

Impact Crypto Arena briefly converted into a a time machine Monday night. Although Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan's uniforms were a different color, they flashed some of the old Clipper magic against their former team. The duo have a long history of playing together, and they utilized the pick-and-roll all night against the Clippers. The connection gave a glimpse of how the Nuggets can get it done without Nikola Jokic (back), who took a seat in the back-to-back. It was Jackson's best outing of the season by a wide margin, but with Jamal Murray's (hamstring) return fast approaching, Jackson's tenure at point guard will soon come to a close.
