Dealing with illness Watson (illness) is questionable to play Sunday against San Antonio.

Versatile contributions in win Watson provided four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 19 minutes during Monday's 134-116 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Watson's performance on Monday is indicative of what Denver needs from him. Stepping in as a defensive playmaker and energizer off the bench serves a pivotal role for the Nuggets' forward rotation. Watson is a supreme athlete, and his extrapolated production could be comparable to Houston's Tari Eason (leg) if Watson were to ever assume a substantial role.
