Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Washington Wizards. The veteran has been on and off the injury report this season, so his probable designation shouldn't be enough to cause fantasy managers to panic. However, with the Nuggets expected to take a decisive lead against the seven-win Wizards at some point during the contest, Gordon, assuming he's active, along with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr., could spend more time on the bench, which isn't ideal for fantasy purposes.
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) gets a probable tag heading into Friday's game against the Celtics. After fully recovering from a heel injury, the 28-year-old is back on the injury report for a shoulder injury this time, but he should be all good to go for their game tonight. Gordon has played a major role as a cutter off the ball for Nikola Jokic, resulting in some very solid fantasy output. He looks to be an above-average option ahead of a big game against the Celtics.
Denver Nuggets forwards Michael Porter Jr. (knee) and Aaron Gordon (heel) are both suiting up on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's a clean sweep in terms of the starters' availabilities for Denver, who will be at full strength for Tuesday's matchup between two of the Association's juggernauts. Porter is managing inflammation in his left knee, but the oft-injured marksman has stayed as healthy as one could ask for with 41 games played at 2023-24's halfway point and is nearly supplying fifth-round value in 12-team nine-category fantasy leagues overall. Gordon is nursing a lingering strain in his right heel but will play through it on Tuesday, looking to build on a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double in Sunday's win over the Indiana Pacers.
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (leg) is ready to roll for Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Murray is experiencing inflammation in his lower legs, but it won't be enough to make him inactive for this clash of the titans with Philly. The 26-year-old star has been limited to 27 games but hasn't missed a game since Dec. 12 and is returning third-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues, putting up 20.6 points, 6.4 assists, and 2.3 threes on a career-high 41.2% shooting clip from long distance. Going head-to-head with Sixers star Tyrese Maxey, Murray could engage himself in a point-guard duel on Tuesday.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is good to go for Tuesday's battle against the Philadelphia 76ers. Dealing with a strained left hip, Jokic has been upgraded from probable to available and hasn't missed a game since Nov. 27. The Joker is notching top-five fantasy numbers on averages of 25.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.0 triples, and 2.1 combined steals plus blocks this season and will duke it out with fellow MVP candidate Joel Embiid in Wednesday's clash. Make sure Jokic is in all season-long lineups for the start of Denver's five-game East Coast road trip against the Sixers.
