Rotoworld Player News

Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Julian Strawther (toe) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

Strawther is dealing with a strained left great toe, but he is listed as probable for Wednesday’s game. He has started Denver’s last six games in place of the injured Peyton Watson, providing solid deep-league streaming value during this stretch.
Jalen Pickett

DEN Guard #24

Jalen Pickett (knee) has been ruled out against the Celtics on Wednesday.

Pickett will miss a second straight game with soreness in his right knee, but with Jamal Murray (hamstring) listed as probable, Pickett’s absence won’t impact Denver’s rotation.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

Murray is back on the Nuggets’ injury report due to tightness in his right hamstring, but he is listed as probable. Fantasy managers should assume that he will play, as the Nuggets’ guard has not missed a game since January 23.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić had 35 points (11-of-21 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), 20 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Warriors.

Jokić had five turnovers, but otherwise completely dominated this game from a fantasy perspective. He had a triple-double with 35 points and 20 rebounds in addition to three steals and two blocks on the defensive end. Jokić appeared at full strength as he played 36 minutes on Sunday. The Nuggets have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (hamstring) is available to play against the Warriors on Sunday.

Murray was initially questionable for this game, but he’ll be good to go. He played through the hamstring injury on Friday as well and scored 25 points with six three-pointers. Murray should occupy his typical workload, which has led to tons of production this season.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

Murray was also questionable ahead of Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers with tightness in his right hamstring. He logged 25 minutes, with the playing time affected by Denver’s franchise-record 54-point win. With Jalen Pickett (knee) already ruled out, even more of the playmaking responsibilities may fall upon Nikola Jokić’s shoulders if Murray sits.
Jalen Pickett

DEN Guard #24

Jalen Pickett (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

Pickett’s sore right knee has landed him on the injury report for the last three games, but this is the first he will miss. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, provided Jamal Murray is available.
Julian Strawther

DEN Guard #3

Julian Strawther finished Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers with 19 points (9-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

Several Nuggets players performed well in their 54-point win over the Trail Blazers on Friday, including Strawther, who was one of seven players on Denver to score in double figures. Quietly, Friday’s contest marked the seventh straight game that Strawther has scored at least 10 points. His three-point production has fluctuated, but that hasn’t stopped him from making positive contributions on that end of the floor. He’ll have a chance to extend his streak to eight games on Sunday against the Warriors.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray tallied 25 points (6-of-12 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and six three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

All of Murray’s shot attempts came from beyond the arc in Friday’s contest, accounting for two-thirds of his scoring; the other third came from the charity stripe. He was one of two Nuggets players to score in double figures and one of three to notch at least six assists. Murray’s time on the floor was limited to 25 minutes, thanks to the large margin Denver led by in the second half. Still, he made the most of his minutes and provided good fantasy production.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić tallied 32 points (10-of-15 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, four steals and three three-pointers in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Despite Friday’s contest coming on the second night of a back-to-back, Jokić performed more like his usual self than he did on Thursday. The three-time MVP shot efficiently and tallied more points than he did minutes. He cut back on his turnovers, contributed as a rebounder and passer, per usual, and even led Denver in steals. Limited minutes were the only thing to get in Jokić’s way on Friday.
