Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Probable against SpursCaldwell-Pope is probable against the Spurs on Sunday.

ImpactSunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and Caldwell-Pope is one of several key Nuggets carrying probable tags. Caldwell-Pope was one of the few bright spots in Friday's loss to Houston, as he dropped 20 points with five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer in 39 minutes.

Aaron Gordon - Expected to play SundayGordon is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Spurs due to a right heel strain.

ImpactGordon has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Sunday despite dealing with a heel injury. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 13.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Reggie Jackson - Probable for SundayJackson (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

ImpactJamal Murray (hamstring) remains out, but he's believed to be close to a return. Jackson has been filling in as the starting point guard, but he's coming off one of the worst games of his season with two points, four rebounds, three assists, one block and six turnovers in 25 minutes against the Rockets on Friday.

Jamal Murray - Remains outMurray (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Spurs.

ImpactMurray will miss his 10th straight game Saturday due to a right hamstring strain. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Clippers.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Nikola Jokic - Expected to play SundayJokic is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Spurs due to low back pain.

ImpactJokic has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Sunday despite dealing with back pain. In the last nine games since Jamal Murray (hamstring) went out, Jokic is averaging 28.8 points, 14.1 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 rebounds in 33.8 minutes.

Dillon Brooks - Struggles in victory FridayBrooks chipped in eight points (2-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 105-86 win over the Nuggets.

ImpactBrooks shot under 30 percent from the floor for the second straight game, continuing his recent offensive struggles. Outside of two games during which he scored a total of 40 points, he has not been able to get anything going in the scoring column. He is barely inside the top 150 this season and at this point, can probably be dropped to open up a streaming spot.

Jeff Green - Fails to score in victoryGreen totaled zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three blocks over eight minutes during Friday's 105-86 win over the Nuggets.

ImpactGreen played just eight minutes off the bench Friday, the fewest he has played in almost three weeks. Although his days of being a fantasy contributor are well behind him, he does provide this young Rockets team with a savvy veteran presence. He should remain in the rotation ROS but is unlikely to hold any value outside of the deepest of leagues.
