Won't play Wednesday Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact After Gordon picked up some left hamstring tightness in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, it's not surprising the Nuggets are opting to give him the night off for the second half of their back-to-back set Wednesday. With Gordon out, both Austin Rivers and Davon Reed figure to see increased run in Denver's rotation. Gordon's next chance to return will be Friday against the Pelicans if the hamstring feels better by then.

Managing hamstring injury Gordon is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact Gordon was limited to seven points, six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, but he's dealing with a hamstring issue ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's held out, Austin Rivers and Davon Reed should see increased playing time.

Impact Gordon and Nikola Jokic (18 points, 15 assists) carried Denver to a big win over the Bucks on the road. Gordon's 24 points marked a team-high, and he showed no lingering signs of a non-COVID illness he's been battling. Gordon put a bow on his most production month of the season Sunday. Across 16 January contests, Gordon averaged 15.4 points and 5.6 rebounds while shooting 52.6 percent from the field.

Will start Sunday Gordon (illness) will start Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact A non-COVID illness landed Gordon on the initial injury report, but he'll play through it and start at his usual forward spot. Gordon is coming off of a 20-point, four-rebound, two-assist, one-steal effort against the Pelicans on Friday.

Dealing with non-COVID illness Gordon is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bucks due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Over his last eight games, Gordon is averaging 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.0 minutes. If he's unable to suit up, JaMychal Green and Austin Rivers would be the most likely candidates for increased minutes.

Nikola Jokic had 26 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, Austin Rivers added 25 points off the bench and the Denver Nuggets outlasted the Brooklyn Nets 124-118 on Wednesday night

All-around performance in win Gordon notched 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Pistons.

Impact Gordon scored in double figures for the sixth straight game. During that stretch, he's averaged 17.3 points, 5.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.8 minutes. With Michael Porter (back) and Jamal Murray (knee) out for the foreseeable future, Gordon should continue to operate as a secondary option behind Nikola Jokic, which should be an advantageous role fantasy managers.

Subdued in Sunday's victory Gordon closed with 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-111 victory over Detroit.

Impact Gordon did enough to at least keep himself relevant but once again, failed to deliver anything of note during the win. Despite a clear path to playing time, Gordon has once again been more of a disappointment than anything this season, continuing to be one of the more frustrating fantasy options. He is doing enough to maintain backend value but for anyone seeking some fun and adventure, he is not the man for the job.
