Christian Braun

DEN Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Christian Braun posted 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Thunder.

Between injuries and lackluster production when available, this season has been a letdown for those who selected Braun in drafts. However, he had a good night against the Thunder, shooting 5-of-8 from inside the arc. The 23 points represent a new season-high for Braun, who recorded his fourth 20-point game. He’s still rostered in 72 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is more about Braun’s status as a starter than his production. Hopefully, Friday’s performance serves as a catalyst for the Nuggets’ guard.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić accounted for 23 points (9-of-25 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 17 rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Thunder.

Jokić finished Friday’s overtime defeat with his third double-double in six games and 22nd of the season. He didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, making two of his ten three-point attempts, but fantasy managers will live with that thanks to The Joker’s points, rebounds and assists. Jokić and the Nuggets have one more game in Week 18, as they host the Timberwolves on Sunday.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray tallied 39 points (12-of-26 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and seven three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Thunder.

Back in the lineup after an illness forced his early exit from Wednesday’s win over the Celtics, Murray still didn’t look his best physically on Friday. However, he still put up 39 points, the most in a game for the Nuggets’ guard since he hit that number in a February 4 loss to the Knicks. And the schedule won’t get any easier, as Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves is the first of two in as many games for Murray and the Nuggets.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones (shoulder) and Jalen Pickett (knee) are available for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Of the two, Jones’ availability is more impactful on fantasy basketball, although he is not a must-roster player since being moved back to the bench. Jones logged 26 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics, while Pickett was not available.
Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Julian Strawther (toe) is available for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Strawther is set to play after initially being listed as probable. Due to injuries, he has recently started alongside Jamal Murray, and his production has been solid enough to make Strawther a streaming option in deep leagues.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (illness) is available for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Limited to a handful of minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics due to illness, Murray is good to go for Friday night. He’ll take on his usual role as the Nuggets’ starting point guard.
Spencer Jones

DEN Forward #21

Spencer Jones (shoulder) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Jones logged 26 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics, recording six points and seven rebounds. While his potential absence would not affect most fantasy leagues, it could potentially lead to a few more minutes for fellow reserve Tim Hardaway Jr.
Jalen Pickett

DEN Guard #24

Jalen Pickett (knee) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Friday.

Pickett has missed Denver’s last two games but could return to take on OKC. Jamal Murray (illness) is also questionable, so if he is sidelined, Pickett could start. The next point guard in line if both are sidelined would be KJ Simpson.
Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Julian Strawther (toe) is probable for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Strawther was also probable ahead of Wednesday’s win over the Celtics, a game that he started and logged 26 minutes. He should take on a similar workload against the Thunder, but there may be a few more touches available if Jamal Murray (illness) can’t go.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (illness) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Friday.

Murray exited just a few minutes into Wednesday’s game due to this illness and could remain sidelined for another game. Jalen Pickett (knee) is also questionable, though he typically starts at point guard when Murray is out. KJ Simpson played 14 minutes off the bench in their last game and could get the nod if both Murray and Pickett are sidelined.
