Denver Nuggets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (foot) is tagged as probable for Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. He continues to deal with inflammation in his left foot, but this hasn't yet kept Braun out of the lineup. His only absence this season came on Dec. 16. The 23-year-old has had a few quiet outings lately, but his overall numbers remain strong. Over eight March appearances, Braun has averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals. On Monday, Braun might be called upon to do even more, as Denver leaders Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) and Jamal Murray (ankle) could miss the action.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) may remain out for a second consecutive game on Monday against the Golden State Warriors after the team listed him as questionable for the contest. Gordon has been bothered by a calf injury all year and is now also dealing with a left ankle sprain. With him out on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, Russell Westbrook returned to the starting lineup. Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji, and Christian Braun (foot) also gain fantasy value with Gordon out of the lineup. The latter remains on the injury report but is listed as probable, which suggests that Braun will likely be available Monday night.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Murray has been on the injury report for much of the season due to inflammation in his left knee, but he hurt his right ankle on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, and this new injury may prevent him from playing on Monday night. Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is also uncertain for Monday night, so the keys to the offense could be handed to Russell Westbrook.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The three-time MVP has been dealing with elbow and ankle issues recently. However, he has previously had a probable designation on the injury report. Jokic last missed a game on Jan. 15 against the Houston Rockets, leading to DeAndre Jordan being promoted to the starting unit. If Jokic is absent again on Monday, Jordan might return to the rotation; however, Zeke Nnaji has recently moved ahead of him on the depth chart and is likely a better fantasy option.

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (foot) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Braun is dealing with a minor foot issue, but it isn't a big enough issue to force him to the sideline. The 23-year-old finished with 22 points, five rebounds, and six assists across 34 minutes on action on Friday. He could take on a bigger role offensively with Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) ruled out for this game. Regardless, fantasy managers who have Braun rostered can go ahead and get him active in their lineups on Saturday.
