Aaron Gordon DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) managed to suit up for Sunday's playoff loss to OKC. Unfortunately, he finished with only eight points, adding 11 rebounds while turning the ball over four times. Had the hamstring strain occurred during the regular season, Gordon likely wouldn't have been out there. However, he gave it his all, although it wasn't enough to stop the Thunder from earning a 32-point win. The 29-year-old finished the regular season by averaging 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. He also shot a career-high 43.6% from deep and was also instrumental in the Nuggets' success throughout the postseason. Still, injuries were an issue for Gordon. But if he stays healthy during the 2025-26 campaign, he should stay relevant for fantasy managers.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nuggets interim head coach David Adelman labeled Gordon a game-time decision for the matchup after he was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain ahead of Sunday's winner-takes-all clash. If the Nuggets cannot count on him on Sunday, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther may have larger roles in the rotation. The two youngsters have made little impact in the postseason, but Strawther will carry some momentum into the game, having notched 15 points in 20 minutes during Thursday's Game 6 win.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) will be active on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was listed as probable on the initial injury report, as Gordon continues to manage a calf injury. The team upgraded his status to available before tip-off. The 29-year-old played a key role in Saturday's 112-110 overtime victory against the Clippers, scoring 25 points and picking up eight rebounds with two steals. This means Gordon has scored 25-plus points in three of his last seven outings.
