Logs 20 points in second start Strawther closed Monday's 119-117 loss to the Cavaliers with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and six rebounds over 29 minutes.

Impact Strawther put together another solid number in his second start of the season. He's coming in handy as a placeholder amid absences from Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (concussion). Jones may return before the All-Star break, which may send Strawther back to the bench.

Nikola Jokic passes Oscar Robertson for 2nd-most triple-doubles as Nuggets top Bulls 136-120

Starting Saturday Strawther will start against the Bulls on Saturday.

Impact The 23-year-old wing will get the starting nod for the second time this season due to Aaron Gordon (hamstring), Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (concussion) being sidelined. During his lone start this season in a Jan. 23 win over Milwaukee, Strawther posted 20 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

Drops 15 points in loss Strawther finished Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes.

Impact Strawther scored double digits for the first time in the past five games, and for just the fifth time this season. With Spencer Jones nearing his games' limit, Strawther was able to play a meaningful role, something that can't be said for his season thus far. At this point, Strawther is simply a name to watch, just in case Denver doesn't convert Jones' contract.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Tuesday Strawther won't start against the Pistons on Tuesday.

Impact With Jamal Murray (hamstring/hip) back in the lineup, Strawther will shift back to a bench role. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 23-year-old swingman has averaged 4.2 points in 11.8 minutes per tilt.

Paces Denver in win Strawther logged 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 102-100 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Strawther made his first start of the season with Jamal Murray (hamstring/hip), Christian Braun (ankle) and Peyton Watson (ankle) sidelined and capitalized on the opportunity by leading Denver in scoring during a win. The Gonzaga product entered Friday averaging just 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 9.7 minutes across 22 appearances, inconsistently factoring into the regular rotation. While his usage is likely to dip as the Nuggets get healthier, outings like this can help keep Strawther in the mix for minutes moving forward.

Strawther scores 20 points as short-handed Nuggets outlast slumping Bucks 102-100

Julian Strawther scored a season-high 20 points and the short-handed Denver Nuggets built a 23-point lead before hanging on to beat the slumping Milwaukee Bucks 102-100

JANUARY 24 • Associated Press

Will start vs. Milwaukee Strawther will start Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact With the Nuggets shorthanded on the second night of a back-to-back set, Strawther will get the starting nod for the first time this season. He's averaging 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in just 9.7 minutes per game, though he should see a significant uptick in playing time Friday.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Adds 15 points vs. Hornets Strawther finished Sunday's 110-87 loss to the Hornets with 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes.

Impact Strawther played his most minutes since Nov. 8 in Sunday's blowout loss to the Hornets. The 23-year-old forward took advantage of his increased reps, scoring a season-high 15 points. Strawther hasn't been a consistent part of Denver's rotation, even with the team dealing with multiple injuries, averaging just 10.9 minutes per game since December.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role cotninues Strawther accumulated zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes during Friday's 110-87 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Strawther was back in the rotation, albeit for just 10 minutes. He has played only three times in the past six games, averaging 2.0 points in 10.3 minutes per contest. At this point, there is no reason to consider rostering him outside of very deep leagues.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Strawther (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact As expected, Strawther will suit up after being listed as probable. While he hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation all season long, the third-year wing is a candidate for extra run due to the Nuggets being extremely shorthanded for the next few games.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Strawther (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Strawther is averaging 11.0 minutes per game over his last seven outings, so this news won't have a big impact in fantasy hoops.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Strawther (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact As expected, Strawther will shake off his probable tag due to an illness and play Wednesday. Over his last five outings, the 23-year-old forward has averaged 5.0 points and 1.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per tilt.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable with illness Strawther is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with an illness.

Impact Strawther is likely to play through an illness, but his presence hasn't caused major waves in the Denver rotation. He hasn't played at least 20 minutes since the Nov. 8 win over the Pacers.

Muted role continues Strawther registered zero points (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Monday's 135-112 win over Utah.

Impact Strawther continues to work his way back from injury, albeit very, very slowly. In three games since returning, Strawther has scored a total of four points, serving as nothing more than a depth piece. Although his role could increase at some point, it is unlikely he will see enough playing time to make him a viable fantasy asset outside of deeper formats.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Monday Strawther (back) has been cleared to play Monday against the Rockets.

Impact Strawther was listed on the injury report as questionable after missing 12 straight games with a back injury, but he's been given the green light to suit up Monday evening. He'll presumably be on some sort of restriction in his first game back.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Strawther (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Head coach David Adelman said he was hoping to get Strawther back to the court this upcoming week, and it looks like there's a chance that could come Monday. Check back for official word on Strawther's status closer to Monday's tip.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Sunday Nuggets head coach David Adelman said that Strawther "went pretty hard" at Sunday's practice and he's hopeful that Strawther will be able to return sometime this upcoming week.

Impact Strawther has been taking contact and ramping up his workload at recent practices, so he appears to be on the cusp of a return. Adelman said he will check with the Denver medical staff on Strawther's status ahead of Monday's matchup with the Rockets, so for now, Strawther should be considered questionable for that one.
