Impact Watson assumedly bruised his knee in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder but isn't expected to miss Friday's contest. If Nikola Jokic (back) is ruled out yet again, Watson could remain in Denver's starting lineup.

Peyton Watson - Likely to suit up Friday Watson is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a left knee contusion.
Jamal Murray - Expected to play against Portland Murray is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a left knee contusion.
Impact It's unclear when Murray suffered his knee injury, but it isn't expected to keep him out of Friday's contest. If Nikola Jokic (back) is ruled out, Murray will likely be relied upon to carry more of the offensive load.

Nikola Jokic - Questionable for Friday Jokic (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact Jokic is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to lower back pain. If the superstar center is ruled out against Portland, Peyton Watson and DeAndre Jordan will likely continue to receive increased playing time.

Peyton Watson - Scores nine points in spot start Watson totaled nine points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 105-100 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Watson got the starting nod after Nikola Jokic was ruled out due to a back concern. Despite the promotion, Watson saw just 21 minutes of playing time, basically mirroring what he has been playing for the past three weeks. While he is unlikely to make too much noise when it comes to fantasy this season, he is a name to watch should he ever carve out a consistent role for himself.

Justin Holiday - Back in rotation Wednesday Holiday accumulated five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 105-100 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Holiday moved back into the rotation, seeing action for just the second time in the past six games. The veteran provides the Nuggets with a useable depth piece, although his days of being fantasy-relevant are now well behind him. There is no reason to consider him, even in deeper formats.

Christian Braun - Pops for 10 points in loss Braun contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 105-100 loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact Braun scored double-digits for the first time in more than two weeks, continuing his lean spell of late. He has played fewer than 20 minutes in 10 of the past 11 games, failing to take his performances to the next level. He is now outside the top 300 for the season and can be safely left on waiver wires in all competitive leagues.

Peyton Watson - Starting Wednesday Watson will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Watson is getting the spot-start with Nikola Jokic (back) taking the night off, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon. Watson can put up decent stats when given the minutes, so he could be worth a dice roll Wednesday night.

DeAndre Jordan started in Jokic's absence during that contest and turned back the clock with 21 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes.
