Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (groin) is not listed on the injury report, indicating his availability for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old was ruled out late before the team's last game before the All-Star break but appears ready to play as the season resumes. With Markelle Fultz (knee) sidelined, Suggs may see a slight increase in usage, providing an opportunity for him to further showcase his skills. So far this season, Suggs has been averaging 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 26.9 minutes per game.
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is expected to play on Thursday against Washington. The former Wizard has logged only nine minutes across Denver's last four games due to a hamstring issue, missing three of them completely, but the All-Star break has given him enough time to get healthy. Caldwell-Pope practiced fully on Tuesday and appears ready to return without any restrictions. Justin Holiday has started in Caldwell-Pope's spot lately but will now drop back to the bench and into fantasy obscurity.
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) won't play on Wednesday against Sacramento. He's been battling a hamstring issue, keeping him out of the lineup for the previous two games heading into Monday's meeting with Milwaukee. Although Caldwell-Pope was available for that one, he logged only nine minutes before exiting. With Jamal Murray (leg) also out, the Nuggets will rely on Reggie Jackson and Justin Holiday to hold things down in the backcourt. Of course, Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, and Michael Porter Jr. should remain the top offensive contributors.
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) missed the team's last two games with hamstring tightness but was upgraded to active and played on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. After playing just nine minutes, he was forced to leave the game as the hamstring flared up. Initially, he was listed as questionable to return but never did end up coming back into the game. Caldwell-Pope may have to miss some additional time after re-aggravating the issue, especially since hamstring issues tend to linger. If he does have to sit out longer than only through the All-Star break, then Reggie Jackson and Justin Holiday would become streaming options.
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is in danger of missing his third consecutive game due to hamstring tightness. The 30-year-old missed both games in their back-to-back on Thursday and Friday, and now he's officially listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Caldwell-Pope has usually been a good source of points, threes, and steals for category fantasy leagues, but tends to be a little more favorable in deeper leagues. If he's unable to play again, Justin Holiday would remain in the starting five and could be a streaming option for fantasy managers that are desperate for three-point shooting.
