Aaron Gordon's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) won't play on Monday against Memphis. The veteran had a 22-point, 12-rebound double-double with three blocks in Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Unfortunately, he popped up on the injury report late on Monday because of a right Plantar Fascia strain. There hasn't been anything to suggest the injury will keep him out beyond Monday night, meaning he could be back for Wednesday's showdown with the Suns. But as fas as the meeting with Memphis is concerned, Peyton Watson, averaging 11.8 points, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals in four starts this year, should fill the void in the lineup.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Nursing a right plantar fascia strain, Gordon is a late addition to the injury report. With four Denver starters listed as questionable, there could be plenty of vacated usage on Monday. The 28-year-old playmaking forward has been a top-100 player in points leagues across his latest seven appearances, averaging 14.1 points on 55.7% shooting from the floor, 6.9 boards, and 4.4 assists during 32.5 minutes. There likely wouldn't be a clear fantasy beneficiary of Gordon's absence, but Christian Braun and Peyton Watson would be in line for an uptick in playing time at power forward. The 24-47 Grizzlies pose an unimposing matchup for the defending champions, but it's too early to determine at this juncture how the rotation might shape up for the Western Conference-leading Nuggets.

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) continues to sit on the injury report with a probable designation ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Indiana. He's been playing through a right shoulder sprain lately and is fully expected to continue to do so on Tuesday. This will be a great matchup for Gordon and the Nuggets against a pacy team that struggles on the defensive end. The two teams had their first meeting of the season not long ago, and Gordon produced one of his best performances of the campaign with a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Washington Wizards. The veteran has been on and off the injury report this season, so his probable designation shouldn't be enough to cause fantasy managers to panic. However, with the Nuggets expected to take a decisive lead against the seven-win Wizards at some point during the contest, Gordon, assuming he's active, along with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr., could spend more time on the bench, which isn't ideal for fantasy purposes.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) gets a probable tag heading into Friday's game against the Celtics. After fully recovering from a heel injury, the 28-year-old is back on the injury report for a shoulder injury this time, but he should be all good to go for their game tonight. Gordon has played a major role as a cutter off the ball for Nikola Jokic, resulting in some very solid fantasy output. He looks to be an above-average option ahead of a big game against the Celtics.
