Not listed on injury report Green (conditioning) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Nets.

Impact Green was active for Tuesday's win over the Pistons, but as expected, he didn't see the court. However, the veteran forward is expected to play in the second half of Denver's back-to-back. He'll likely operate as the primary backup to Jeff Green.

Questionable Wednesday Barton (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.

Impact Barton sat out Tuesday's five-point win over the Nuggets. He's been a key contributor for the Nuggets, averaging 15.3 points, 4.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds over his past 14 appearances. If he sits out again, more minutes could be available for Markus Howard, Austin Rivers, Monte Morris and to a lesser extent Jeff Green.

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.

JANUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance off bench Nnaji amassed nine points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over Detroit.

Impact Nnaji continues to operate as Nikola Jokic's primary backup, which doesn't warrant much fantasy consideration. Nonetheless, over his last seven games, the 2020 first-round pick has averaged 8.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.6 minutes. He's making the most of his limited playing time, but there just isn't enough production to make rostering him worthwhile.

JANUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Monster double-double Jokic accumulated 28 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 21 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Pistons.

Impact Jokic notched his fourth double-double with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds and fell just one assist shy of his 12th triple-double of the season. Over his last five games, he's averaged 29.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 36.0 minutes. The reigning MVP is making a strong case to repeat again this season, especially given he's kept the Nuggets in the playoff mix without Jamal Murray (knee) and Michael Porter (back).

JANUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient performance in win Green accumulated 20 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Pistons.

Impact Green returned to action after missing the Nuggets' last game with a minor quad injury. With Will Barton (hamstring) sidelined, he drew his 30th start of the season. The veteran forward has scored in double figures in eight of his last nine appearances and has averaged 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.7 minutes during that stretch. As long as Barton remains sidelined, Green is expected to see increased usage and playing time.

May play Tuesday Howard (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Howard missed the first matchup with Detroit on Sundaydue to a non-COVID illness, but he has a chance to return for the rematch Tuesday. Either way, he's only made one appearance since mid-December, so his status isn't expected to impact the Nuggets' rotations.
