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.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. As expected, Caldwell-Pope will play after being tagged as probable earlier in the day. The expectation is that Caldwell-Pope will resume his normal role in the starting unit. There is no reason to believe that the finger issue is going to impact his play. Fantasy managers who have Caldwell-Pope rostered can feel safe starting him on Sunday.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

He'll likely remain in the starting five, which gives him a boost in fantasy value.
