Denver Nuggets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Porter missed the final three games before the All-Star break due to a left hamstring strain. He'll be back in action on Thursday and won't have any minutes restrictions, according to head coach Mike Malone. Porter has been on a hot streak lately as he's averaging 28.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists across his last five games. Fantasy managers better make sure to get him in their lineups ahead of Thursday's tip-off.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gordon is ready to play after being listed as probable heading into this contest. He did sit out the final game before the All-Star break, but that was likely just for additional rest purposes. Fantasy managers should expect Gordon to have his normal workload on Thursday. Gordon hasn't been an ideal fantasy option this season, but he has posted seven assists or more in three of his last four games. His fantasy value will certainly be on the rise if he continues to dish out the ball like that.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. As expected, Murray is ready to go after being listed as probable heading into this contest. Before the break, Murray posted a 55-point outing, so hopefully he's able to keep that momentum going into the second half. He figures to handle his regular workload with Russell Westbrook likely starting alongside him. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Murray active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
