Aaron Gordon DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) is expected to suit up on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers, as the team lists him as probable on the injury report. A calf injury has troubled the veteran throughout the campaign, but Gordon has only missed a couple of games over the last six weeks. His performances have been inconsistent, with Gordon averaging 10.0 points per game in February, despite reaching double figures in scoring only twice in six games. However, the 29-year-old has impressed with his playmaking lately, averaging 5.7 assists for the month.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gordon is ready to play after being listed as probable heading into this contest. He did sit out the final game before the All-Star break, but that was likely just for additional rest purposes. Fantasy managers should expect Gordon to have his normal workload on Thursday. Gordon hasn't been an ideal fantasy option this season, but he has posted seven assists or more in three of his last four games. His fantasy value will certainly be on the rise if he continues to dish out the ball like that.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is probable for Thursday's meeting with the Hornets. Gordon has battled a calf injury at various times throughout the year. Fortunately, he's remained relatively healthy of late, although he's received time off periodically to rest. Still, the 29-year-old has had one of the worst seasons of his career from a statistical standpoint, averaging only 12.1 points and 4.8 rebounds. While that won't make Gordon an attractive fantasy option for most, he's worth stashing, considering there's a good chance he'll return to form sometime soon. At any rate, if Gordon can't go for some reason, Zeke Nnaji, averaging 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, and 1.5 steals in two starts, will at least see increased value interest from DFS managers, regardless of his role.
