Denver Nuggets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The star guard has not suited up in the past seven games, and there is a chance he could miss another contest as he is recovering from right knee inflammation. With the regular season winding down, the Nuggets are certainly going to take precautions with their starting point guard to make sure he is healthy for the playoffs. Reggie Jackson will likely continue to lead the first unit as long as Murray is unable to play.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is considered probable for Saturday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The 28-year-old has played through a right foot strain and has not been limited by the injury. He continues to see his regular minutes as a starter, taking on more responsibility since Jamal Murray (knee) has been sidelined. Gordon can typically be relied on to fill the stat sheet in various ways on both sides of the ball. He has scored at least 18 points in two straight games while contributing to the rebound and assist columns. In addition, he has recorded a steal in three consecutive contests.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. The MVP candidate will likely suit up despite dealing with left hip inflammation. He was also previously battling a wrist injury, but that ailment is no longer listed on the injury report. A healthy Jokic is terrific news for both the Nuggets and fantasy managers as he continues another season of dominance. In his most recent game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, he recorded a triple-double (36 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists).

Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. Nnaji has suited up for only two of the last 10 games due to an ongoing issue with tendinitis on his right thigh. Denver only plays Nnaji 9.7 minutes per contest. But his absence opens more bench minutes for players like Peyton Watson, Justin Holiday, DeAndre Jordan, and Julian Strawther. The Nuggets starters will likely play their usual minutes since Nnaji is not a difference-maker in their rotation.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is expected to play on Thursday versus the Clippers. He remains bothered by a strained right foot. However, it didn't stop him from suiting up for Tuesday's narrow win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 28-year-old looked good in that one, ending the night with 23 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. DFS managers should plan on Gordon being active for Thursday night, barring a setback, and he could continue to produce beyond his usual expectations if Jamal Murray (ankle) is ruled out.
