Scores 14 points in return Watson accumulated 14 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-112 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Watson brought some gritty energy to the second unit, and he was moving around great in his first game back following a seven-week absence. That said, the Nuggets open Week 22 with a Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back set, so managers will need to be on alert for a potential maintenance day.

Officially active Sunday Watson is officially active for Sunday's game against Portland.

Impact Watson was already expected to be available after missing over seven weeks because of a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old will operate under a minutes restriction, according to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, so it's unknown how much he'll impact things on both ends of the floor.

Facing Minutes Restriction Sunday Watson will operate on a minutes restriction in Sunday's game against Portland, according to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post.

Impact Watson is still officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. However, according to a recent report from Shams Charania of ESPN, he'll be good to go. The 23-year-old was having his best season before a hamstring injury put him on the shelf. It will likely take him time to get back up to speed, considering he's been sidelined for over seven weeks.

Officially listed as questionable Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Portland.

Impact A previous report from Shams Charania of ESPN noted Watson is expected to be available for Sunday's contest, but the 23-year-old forward has been officially labeled questionable. Still, fantasy managers should plan for Watson making his return from a 19-game absence. Given the lengthy layoff, Watson could be under a minutes restriction Sunday.

Slated to return Sunday Watson (hamstring) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Watson has not played since Feb. 4 due to a right hamstring strain, but it appears the fourth-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return for the Nuggets on Sunday. He'll likely operate under a minutes restriction, and his return would mean that less bench minutes would be available for the likes of Tim Hardaway and Julian Strawther. Prior to his injury, Watson was averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals over 30.7 minutes per game.

Remains out for Friday Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Toronto.

Impact Watson hasn't played since Feb. 4 due to a right hamstring strain. While he'll miss a 19th consecutive contest Friday, the Nuggets are hopeful that the fourth-year forward will return to the hardwood in the near future. Spencer Jones will likely continue to see increased burn for as long as Watson is sidelined. His next chance to return will come Sunday against Portland.

Ruled out Wednesday Watson (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Impact Although Watson will miss an 18th straight contest due to a right hamstring strain, it sounds like he's on the cusp of making his return to the floor. The Nuggets expressed optimism Monday that Watson would play at some point this week, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette, so the forward will next set his sights toward Friday's tilt against Toronto as a possible return date.

Won't play Tuesday Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Watson will miss a 17th consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain. The Nuggets are hopeful the young forward can return to game action this week, with opportunities Wednesday against the Grizzlies and Friday versus the Raptors looming. Until Watson is cleared, Tim Hardaway should continue to see extended run on the wing.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Targeting return this week The Nuggets remain hopeful that Watson (hamstring) will be able to play at some point this week, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Benedetto notes that it's unlikely Watson will play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers and Wednesday's tilt versus the Grizzlies, which would make Friday's matchup against the Raptors the next most realistic return date for the forward. Until Watson is cleared to return from a hamstring strain, Tim Hardaway remains worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Could return next week Nuggets' head coach David Adelman said Wednesday that the hope is Watson can return sometime next week, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Watson, who had already been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Houston, will be sidelined for at least two more games. According to Adelman, Watson's next step is to get his conditioning level to the appropriate level. The Nuggets' first game next week is Tuesday, the first leg of a back-to-back.

Ruled out for Wednesday Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Watson hasn't played since Feb. 4 due to a right hamstring strain and is without a clear timetable for a return. He's expected to be re-evaluated soon, though the 23-year-old forward should be considered doubtful for Thursday's game in San Antonio until Denver offers an update on his status.
