Hornets Starting Five vs. Denver Nuggets A look at the first five on the floor for the Hornets.
JANUARY 2 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Peyton Watson - Heads to bench Watson isn't starting Monday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Watson drew a pair of spot starts while Aaron Gordon (face) recovered from injury, but the UCLA product will return to his usual bench role Monday with Gordon back in action. Watson is averaging 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last five contests off the bench.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - Good to go Jackson (calf) will play Monday against the Hornets.
Impact As expected, Denver's training staff has cleared Jackson for Monday's contest. He's averaging 8.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists over his last seven matchups as a reserve.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Available for Monday Gordon (face) has been cleared to play Monday against Charlotte.
Impact As expected, Gordon has been given the green light to return for Monday's contest. He figures to slot right back into the starting lineup following a two-game absence.

Terry Rozier Ruled Out vs. Nuggets The Hornets’ injury report for tonight’s game.
JANUARY 2 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Aaron Gordon - In line to play Gordon (face) is expected to play Monday against the Hornets, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Gordon is still listed as questionable on the team's injury report after requiring 21 stitches from a dog bite, but head coach Karl Malone's latest update indicates the Arizona product is trending in the right direction. Peyton Watson would presumably retreat to the bench once the team confirms Gordon's availability closer to tipoff.

Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon back at practice after dog bite, hopes to play Monday against Hornets
Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon rejoined the team for practice Sunday, one week after he was bitten by his 4-year-old RottweilerJANUARY 1 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Aaron Gordon - Officially questionable Gordon (face/hand) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte.
Impact This comes straight from Denver's official injury report, but it's worth noting that Gordon said Sunday afternoon that he's ready to play. Gordon needed 21 stitches after a dog bite on Christmas Day, but he returned to full practice Sunday and is expected to take the floor against the Hornets. If he does return, Peyton Watson will likely head back to the second unit.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - Probable for Monday Jackson is probable for Monday's game versus Charlotte with left calf tightness.
Impact Jackson briefly left Friday's game versus the Thunder with this same issue, but it sounds like he'll be fine going forward. Jackson has been limited to minutes in the teens in recent games as Jamal Murray's primary backup.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Practices, ready to play Gordon (face/hand) practiced Sunday and said he feels ready to play in Monday's game against the Hornets, Bennett Durando of the Denver Post reports.
Impact Gordon needed 21 stitches after an incident on Christmas Day involving a dog, and it was unclear when he'd be able to return. Per Durando, it'll be Gordon's final call on when he'll suit up again, but his status for Monday's game likely won't be known until Denver releases its injury report Sunday night.

Michael Porter Jr. - Poor shooting display Friday Porter produced 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Friday's 119-93 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Porter had a woeful shooting performance and struggled badly against one of the top-ranked defenses in the league. However, the struggles are beginning to look like a trend for the big man, who has now failed to surpass the 15-point mark in five of his last seven appearances. Porter will aim to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Hornets on Monday.
DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Peyton Watson - Scores 14 points in loss Watson totaled 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 119-93 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Watson started for the second game in a row, and while he couldn't repeat the 20-point outing he delivered against the Grizzlies on Thursday, he posted another solid outing while handling a bigger workload on offense. Watson is expected to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future with Aaron Gordon sidelined indefinitely due to injuries from a dog bite.
DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Nearly perfect from field Jokic recorded 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 119-93 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Jokic missed just one shot from the field and ended three assists away from recording a triple-double while also dealing with the threat of Chet Holmgren on the defensive side of the ball. However, this game was the perfect proof that he can't do everything on his own to carry the Nuggets, especially against top-rated defenses such as the Thunder's. Jokic remains an elite fantasy asset and probably the best player in the NBA across all categories. Plus, he has had double-doubles with six assists or more in his last six appearances.
