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

Denver Nuggets forwards Michael Porter Jr. (knee) and Aaron Gordon (heel) are both suiting up on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's a clean sweep in terms of the starters' availabilities for Denver, who will be at full strength for Tuesday's matchup between two of the Association's juggernauts. Porter is managing inflammation in his left knee, but the oft-injured marksman has stayed as healthy as one could ask for with 41 games played at 2023-24's halfway point and is nearly supplying fifth-round value in 12-team nine-category fantasy leagues overall. Gordon is nursing a lingering strain in his right heel but will play through it on Tuesday, looking to build on a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double in Sunday's win over the Indiana Pacers.

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon (heel) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers. The 28-year-old has landed on the injury report with a right heel strain. Peyton Watson will likely pick up his third start of the campaign if Gordon is out on Tuesday. He filled in for him for a couple of games late last month, averaging 17.0 points and 3.5 rebounds with a pair of assists. Watson could get an even bigger opportunity to contribute on Tuesday, as all of the Nuggets starters have landed on the injury report with a questionable tag.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (dog bite) was originally listed as questionable heading into the team's Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Michael Malone said that the plan is for Gordon to suit up and play. According to Katy Winge of AltitudeTV, he'll likely wrap his hand so that he doesn't ruin the stitches. Fantasy managers may want to be patient during his first couple of games back because stitches in his hand could affect his ball security and ball handling. He's an important part of the team's success though, so he should get as many minutes as he can handle.

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon (face/hand) is ready to jump back into action on Monday versus Charlotte. He was bitten by his dog on Christmas and was initially ruled out indefinitely, but Gordon was back in practice on Sunday and is officially regarded as questionable for Monday's game. The high-flying forward has sat out two games, with Peyton Watson providing cover for Gordon in the starting unit. Watson played well but is set to be bumped back down to the bench with Gordon's return.
