Denver Nuggets

According to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) is expected to play versus the Miami Heat on Friday. Murray has missed three straight games after being placed in concussion protocol on November 1st after suffering a concussion versus the Timberwolves. If the 27-year-old's time on the court is limited on Friday, expect Christian BraunandPeyton Watsonto grab some of the minutes that could be potentially available.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol and is considered questionable for Friday night's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran combo guard has already missed the last three consecutive games and is in danger of missing a fourth. Murray first suffered the concussion against Minnesota on November 1. If he can't get back on the floor, Christian Braun and Peyton Watson have been solid streaming options while Russell Westbrook runs with the starting five as well.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) won't play on Wednesday versus OKC. Murray suffered a concussion during a recent meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. As a result, he's been sidelined for the Nuggets' previous two contests. It's not an ideal scenario for Denver, with the team also expected to be without Aaron Gordon (calf) for a few weeks. Of course, Nikola Jokic will do all he can to pick up the slack on the offensive end. But Russell Westbrook, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 3.0 steals in two starts this season, should remain in all fantasy lineups.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) was only able to play a few minutes before exiting Monday's game due to injury. At first, the Nuggets didn't believe it was a serious issue and considered him day-to-day. That is not the case as Gordon has suffered a right calf strain and will miss multiple weeks of action. This is a tough break as Gordon who has been excellent through the first handful of games. The absence of Gordon means that Peyton Watson should see more involvement in the rotation. He finished with 16 points, two steals, and two blocks over 30 minutes of action on Monday. He'll be a decent streaming choice until Gordon gets back on the court.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is not dealing with a long-term injury. Gordon played only four minutes in Monday's matchup against Toronto, exiting the action with a calf strain. He already carried a questionable tag ahead of the game due to a calf problem, and he has also been battling a knee injury. According to Nuggets head coach Michael Malone, Gordon is dealing with "bumps and bruises," and he doesn't think the 29-year-old forward will be a long-term absentee. With Gordon out, Peyton Watson surpassed the 30-minute mark for the first time this season on Monday. He could play a bigger role again in Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City, assuming Gordon is not in the lineup.
