Murray, Jokic guide Nuggets to 120-100 rout of Rockets

Jamal Murray scored 26 points, Nikola Jokic had 10 of his 12 assists in the first half and the Denver Nuggets cruised past the Houston Rockets 120-100 for their fourth straight win

Quiet in win Monday Caldwell-Pope registered eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Monday's 129-113 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Caldwell-Pope stumbled again in the win, continuing what has been a downward trend over the past two weeks. During that time, he is well outside the top 150, thanks primarily to his steal numbers falling from 1.2 per game to 0.6. As a player with very little upside, Caldwell-Pope has no margin for error when it comes to overall fantasy value. He remains a 12-team option but could end up on waivers across a few leagues should his current trajectory continue.

Serviceable production continues Caldwell-Pope produced 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 115-109 win over San Antonio.

Impact Caldwell-Pope cobbled together another serviceable performance Monday, continuing what has been an encouraging start to the season. He currently sits just outside the top 60 in standard leagues, despite scoring just 11.3 points per game. His value is primarily tied to his defensive production, sitting at 1.6 swipes per contest. While the upside is limited, he is doing enough to warrant a roster spot across all formats.

Listed questionable for Friday Caldwell-Pope (ankle) holds a questionable designation for Friday's game against the Jazz, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Caldwell-Pope exited Wednesday's game against the Lakers after logging 25 minutes due to an ankle tweak. Fortunately, his questionable status would indicate the issue isn't particularly severe, though it remains to be seen if he will miss some time because of it.

Tweaks ankle in Wednesday's win Caldwell-Pope produced 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes in Wednesday's 110-99 win over the Lakers before exiting with 3:09...

Impact The 29-year-old wing was in the midst of a productive night before he limped off to the locker room after he appeared to tweak his ankle on a layup attempt. He was able to rejoin the Nuggets on the bench after being evaluated, but he didn't check back into the contest while Denver took a 15-point lead into the fourth quarter. For the time being, Caldwell-Pope can be viewed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the Jazz, and if he can't suit up, Bones Hyland and Christian Braun would be candidates to absorb some of the vacated minutes.
