Denver Nuggets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Gordon is in line to miss his second straight game after suffering both a calf and ankle injury. These issues kept Gordon sidelined on Monday and it'll likely hold him out for at least one more game. The absence of Gordon should mean increased playing time for Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji in the rotation. Neither player is offering great fantasy value right now, but Watson should be able to hold some low-end streaming value.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Murray appears to have picked up a minor ankle injury during Monday's game. It didn't look like it was impacting his performance considering he finished with 34 points and six assists during Monday's contest. The expectation is that Murray will be out there and will handle his normal workload. If not, Russell Westbrook would likely see an expanded role in the rotation, which would make him a more appealing streaming option.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar big man continues to deal with lingering injuries, but they haven't forced him to miss time. Jokic has played in 10 straight games and continues to put up MVP-type numbers. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Jokic right now. Jokic will be out there unless he suffers a setback pre-game, but go ahead and lock him into your lineups for now.

Denver Nuggets forwardAaron Gordon(calf) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gordon experienced calf tightness in Sunday's contest against the Thunder. He finished with five points and two rebounds but exited the game after only seven minutes on the floor. The 29-year-old has had multiple stints on the shelf because of the calf injury this season, so nobody will be surprised if he misses more time moving forward. With Gordon sidelined,Russell Westbrookwill likely slide into the starting lineup. The 2016-17 MVP has averaged 12.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.1 assists in 27.6 minutes per contest across 57 games this season.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) didn't return to Sunday's loss to OKC. He looked good early on. However, the 29-year-old experienced calf tightness and exited the game after only seven minutes, finishing with five points and two rebounds. Gordon has had multiple stints on the shelf because of the calf injury this season, so nobody will be surprised if he misses more time moving ahead, including Monday's rematch with the Thunder. If Gordon is ruled out, Russell Westbrook will likely slide into the starting lineup. The 2016-17 MVP has averaged 14.5 points, 6.9 assists, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 29 starts this year.
