GAME LOG

Peyton Watson - Steps up off bench Watson notched 16 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors.
Impact Aaron Gordon left this game after four minutes with a calf strain, so Watson took advantage and posted a season-high mark of 16 points in 31 minutes. Watson has strong per-minute upside in fantasy basketball because of his steal and block rates, so he's someone to keep an eye on if Gordon ends up missing more time.

Michael Porter Jr. - Flirts with double-double in win Porter notched 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 121-119 victory over the Raptors.
Impact Porter was one rebound shy of a double-double, marking a third time where he's fallen just short of the milestone. Porter is trying to build on a solid 2023-24 campaign where he set new career highs in free throw percentage and minutes played. He also had 16 double-doubles last season, so these narrow misses should convert more often as the season progresses.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Russell Westbrook - Steps up with solid game Westbrook chipped in 21 points (6-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over Toronto.
Impact Although his stat line doesn't reflect it, Westbrook was excellent on defense, blanketing RJ Barrett for much of the game. He also thwarted Barrett's last-second attempt to tie the game, forcing him to take a off-balance, low-percentage shot. Thanks to Westbrook, Jamal Murray's (concussion) absence has had little effect on Denver's short-term outlook.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Delivers third triple-double in win Jokic finished Monday's 121-119 victory over the Raptors with 28 points (10-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes.
Impact Jokic's red-hot start is a surprise to no one, as the perennial All-Star is a nightly triple-double threat who can dominate in all facets of the game. Despite the temporary loss of Jamal Murray (concussion), the Nuggets have won three of their last four games due in large part to Jokic and strong performances from the supporting cast.

Aaron Gordon - Shut down with calf strain Gordon (calf) won't return to Monday's game against Toronto, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Gordon exited the contest in the first half due to a right half strain, and the team has elected to hold him out for the final two quarters. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information on his availability moving forward comes to light.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Questionable to return Monday Gordon is questionable to return during Monday's game against the Raptors due to a right calf strain.
Impact Gordon suited up Monday despite a right knee contusion and right calf inflammation, though it seems he aggravated the calf injury in the first quarter. If the 29-year-old forward is unable to return, Peyton Watson and Hunter Tyson are candidates for an increased role the rest of the way.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Goes to locker room Monday Gordon (leg) went back to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.
Impact Gordon limped back the locker room while favoring his leg with 7:44 remaining in the first quarter. The 29-year-old was cleared to play through a right knee contusion and right calf inflammation before tipoff, and it is unclear if his injury against Toronto is related.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Vlatko Cancar - Out once again Monday Cancar (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Cancar has appeared in only one regular-season game thus far, during which he played two minutes and logged one rebound in the season-opening loss to the Thunder. The 27-year-old's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday versus the Thunder.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Gets green light Gordon (knee/calf) will play Monday against Toronto.
Impact Gordon was considered probable leading up to tipoff, so his clearance to play comes as no surprise. He turned in a quiet performance in his last appearance Saturday against Utah, totaling 12 points, six rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes.
