Bruce Brown - Sees 18 minutes Monday Brown recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks across 18 minutes of Monday's 112-108 preseason win over the Raptors.
Impact Brown, who reunited with the Nuggets on a one-year, $3.63 minimum contract, is expected to play a key role for the second unit. The last time he was in Denver back in 2022-23, Brown averaged 29.7 minutes per game, but that number seems unlikely this time around due to internal improvements from Christian Braun and Peyton Watson.

Cameron Johnson - Improves in second preseason game Johnson tallied 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot over 20 minutes during Monday's 112-108 preseason win over the Raptors.
Impact It may take some time for Johnson to gel fully with his teammates, as he's now occupying a role previously filled by Michael Porter, who was a mainstay in the offense for six seasons. Johnson brings a slightly different skillset to the table, as his perimeter shooting is a hallmark of his game. He sports a career average of 5.9 three-point attempts per game, which is slightly higher than Porter's work beyond the arc. While he'll still play a complementary role in the offense, he'll being a different dimension to the team as a third or fourth-best offensive option.

Nikola Jokic - Logs 17 points in limited action Jokic compiled 17 points (5-5 FG, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 preseason win over Toronto.
Impact Jokic was perfect from the field during the win. We should continue to see limited minutes from the All-Star during the preseason to keep him fresh and healthy for the regular season. The perennial MVP candidate is expected to have another monster season ahead, with triple-double performances setting the gold standard for multi-category producers in the league.

Jamal Murray - Posts 17 points in preseason win Murray logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 win over the Raptors.
Impact Murray's shot warmed up after a tepid outing the season opener, sinking three three-pointers in six attempts beyond the arc. Bruce Brown's return to the team will lend support to Murray, who was overworked last season after logging the highest minute-per-game average of his career. Brown's presence will keep Murray fresh down the stretch, reserving his best stuff for critical moments in close games.

Peyton Watson will get the starting nod with Gordon sidelined, and the 30-year-old forward's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Clippers.
