Impact With Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, Tim Hardaway and Christian Braun all getting the night off for maintenance for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Watson was cast in an unfamiliar role with a ton of usage.

Stays hot with 23 points Watson supplied 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to Brooklyn.

Watson scores 24 points as Nuggets hold off Raptors to win 106-103 without the injured Jokic

Scores 11 points Watson posted 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 147-123 loss to Miami.

Impact Nikola Jokic left this game early and is expected to miss at least four weeks with a hyperextended left knee. The Nuggets are already thin in the frontcourt, and it's likely that Watson is asked to step up offensively. Additionally, his workloads should be even more secure in the short term.
