Jalen Pickett News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Posts double-digit scoring effort Pickett posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 127-107 victory over Oklahoma City.

Impact Despite the Nuggets resting their starters, Pickett couldn't re-enter the starting lineup for the first time since the 124-121 loss to Detroit on Feb. 3. However, the 26-year-old at least finished with his first double-digit scoring effort in months. With the playoffs right around the corner, Pickett might see increased action until the end of the regular season. Still, he isn't expected to have a stable role during the postseason, assuming everyone on the roster can stay off the injury report.

Sees limited run in loss Pickett recorded four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and two assists over six minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Pickett returned from a two-game absence Sunday, but he saw a very limited workload off the bench. With Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway very involved with the second unit, there's not much room for Pickett these days.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Pickett (knee) is available for Friday's game against Oklahoma City, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Pickett will shake off his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to right knee soreness. However, the 26-year-old guard isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time Friday.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call for Friday Pickett (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Pickett is in danger of missing his third straight matchup while dealing with a right knee injury. His status should come into focus as tipoff nears.

Won't play Wednesday Pickett (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Celtics.

Impact Pickett will miss a second straight game due to lingering knee soreness. In his absence, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway could pick up a handful of minutes.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Sunday Pickett (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Pickett has been dealing with some lingering right knee soreness and will be held out of Sunday's contest. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against Boston.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Pickett (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Pickett has been dealing with right knee soreness but is set to suit up after being listed as probable. He has struggled to secure a consistent role in Denver's rotation, averaging limited minutes in recent appearances, and his availability is unlikely to significantly impact most fantasy formats.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Pickett is probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right knee soreness.

Impact Pickett has struggled to see regular playing time this season, so his potential absence might not be much of a factor in most fantasy formats. He's averaging just 2.6 points and 0.8 rebounds across 11.4 minutes per game in five appearances (two starts) since the beginning of February.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Pickett (knee) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Clippers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Pickett has officially been cleared to suit up Thursday despite dealing with right knee soreness. He's hardly cracked the rotation lately and is averaging 2.0 points in 9.7 minutes over his previous three outings.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Tabbed probable Pickett (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Pickett left the Nuggets' final game before the All-Star break due to soreness in his right knee. He seemingly avoided any sort of significant injury, and he's expected to play in Thursday's opening leg of a back-to-back set. Spencer Jones (concussion) will be available Thursday, which means Pickett isn't guaranteed a spot in the rotation.

Doesn't return Wednesday Pickett (knee) did not return to Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Pickett left the contest in the second quarter due to right knee soreness and was called questionable to return by the Nuggets. Before exiting, the third-year guard posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across nine minutes. He'll have the full All-Star break to rest before Denver's next game, which will come Feb. 19 against the Clippers.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Pickett is considered questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Memphis due to right knee soreness.

Impact Pickett has picked up a seemingly minor knee injury during Wednesday's game, and the issue could prevent him from returning. While Pickett is sidelined, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway could pick up more minutes.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Drops out of rotation Pickett (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Nuggets' 134-127 double-overtime loss to the Knicks.

Impact After playing just 10 minutes -- his fewest since the calendar flipped to 2026 -- in Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons, Pickett was dropped from the starting five and moved out of the rotation entirely for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Pickett's absence from the rotation may prove to be short-lived, however. Both Spencer Jones (head) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) exited the game early and didn't return, which could reopen an opportunity for Pickett if neither injured player is either to play in the Nuggets' next game Saturday in Chicago.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Wednesday Pickett is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Impact Pickett has started in 17 of the Nuggets' last 19 games, but he has failed to score in three of his last four outings while going 3-for-14 from the field (and 1-for-11 from three-point range) over that span. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's contest while Spencer Jones enters the Nuggets' starting five.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in start Pickett posted zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Pickett remained in the starting lineup, yet once again failed to make the most of his opportunity. He has now failed to score in three of the past four games, typically playing minutes in the mid-teens. Despite his starting role, Pickett is not someone who needs to be considered outside of the deepest leagues.

Scoreless in win Pickett amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 win over the Nets.

Impact Pickett drew the start for Denver but had a miserable outing. Meanwhile, both Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway had productive games off the bench. Pickett has been ice cold for quite a while and is only worth monitoring in deeper formats for the time being.
