Dorian Finney-Smith - Probable for SaturdayFinney-Smith is probable for Saturday versus the Warriors due to left knee soreness,Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

ImpactFinney-Smith missed a game on Dec. 2 with left knee soreness, but he's been powering through it ever since. Over his last five appearances, the veteran averaged 8.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Aaron Gordon - Probable for SaturdayGordon (heel) is probable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

ImpactGordon has been a regular on Denver's injury report recently, but the heel issue hasn't caused him to miss a game since Dec. 1. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 12.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 28.5 minutes per game.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Won't play SaturdayCaldwell-Pope (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

ImpactCaldwell-Pope landed in concussion protocol during Tuesday's win over the Bulls and will miss a second straight game Saturday. Justin Holiday drew the start in Caldwell-Pope's absence Thursday and will likely do so again versus Oklahoma City, but Reggie Jackson, Christian Braun and Julian Strawther are also candidates for increased roles.

Zeke Nnaji - Scores five off benchNnaji closed Thursday's 124-101 victory over the Nets with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over six minutes.

ImpactNnaji has fallen out of the Nuggets' rotation recently, but he saw a handful of minutes during Thursday's comfortable win. While he was relatively efficient off the bench, he isn't a fantasy-relevant option as long as Denver's frontcourt is relatively healthy.

Christian Braun - Scores in double figures againBraun provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 24 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 victory over Brooklyn.

ImpactBraun has had a limited impact on the scoreboard in recent weeks, but he scored in double figures for a second consecutive matchup Thursday. He also made an impact on the defensive end with a season-high two blocks. Over seven appearances in December, the 22-year-old has averaged 8.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18.1 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 15, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Nikola Jokic - Posts triple-double in winJokic provided 26 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 victory over the Nets.

ImpactAfter being ejected from Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Jokic bounced back Thursday with his third triple-double over his first seven appearances in December. While the 28-year-old has been tossed from two games to begin the 2023-24 campaign, he's been consistently dominant for the Nuggets. Over his seven appearances this month, he's averaged 22.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.0 assists in 32.3 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 15, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Armoni Brooks - Plays 15 minutes off benchBrooks closed with six points (2-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 15 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 loss to the Nuggets.

ImpactBrooks wasn't particularly efficient during Thursday's matchup, but he played double-digit minutes for Brooklyn for the third time this season. He's had a limited impact in the NBA early in the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game over seven appearances.
