Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) will play on Tuesday against the Spurs. His injury designation isn't anything new, so he was anticipated to be out there for this one, assuming he didn't suffer a setback since his last game. With that in mind, the 28-year-old is always on the DFS radar. But with Jamal Murray (ankle) still sidelined, Gordon's fantasy ceiling is higher than usual.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist) will play on Tuesday versus the Spurs. He has frequently appeared on the injury report over the last week or so. However, Jokic only missed one game during that span, so most had anticipated he'd be out there. With that said, the multi-time MVP has averaged 35 points, nine boards, and seven assists in two games against San Antonio this season, making him an ideal option for all DFS lineups.
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) won't suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Spurs. Despite the questionable tag, most assumed he wouldn't be out there against San Antonio. But now that he's sidelined for a sixth consecutive contest, his next chance to suit up will be for Thursday's meeting with the Clippers in Los Angeles. For now, Reggie Jackson should remain in the starting lineup, with the 33-year-old averaging 16.1 points with the first five this season. Of course, Murray's absence should also mean more scoring chances for Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist), Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist) is probable ahead of Monday's clash with the Spurs. The multi-time MVP has routinely appeared on the injury report over the last few weeks. However, he only missed one game during that span. As usual, Jokic has had an excellent year. But considering he's averaged 35 points in two meetings with the Spurs this season, he's a lock for DFS contests for those willing to deal with his hefty rostering cost.
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) has been tagged as probable for their matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 28-year-old has played in each of the team's last three games and it looks like the right foot strain won't keep him out of this one. The Nuggets are fighting for the first seed in the West right now as they're tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gordon may not be scoring as much as he did last year, but he's an integral part of this team's success and has contributed more to fantasy teams outside of just scoring. He remains a solid option in DFS lineups and deep fantasy leagues.
