Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Won't play Saturday Caldwell-Pope (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Caldwell-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.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zeke Nnaji - Scores five off bench Nnaji 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.
Impact Nnaji 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.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Braun - Scores in double figures again Braun 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.
Impact Braun 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 win Jokic 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.
Impact After 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.

NETS at NUGGETS | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | December 14, 2023
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • YOUTUBE
Justin Holiday - Gets starting nod Holiday will slide into the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Impact Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is in the concussion protocol for Denver, and it's unclear how much time he'll miss. Holiday is not a high-usage player, but he'll provide some floor spacing and defensive versatility for the Nuggets. In four total starts this season, Holiday has averaged 10.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - Back to bench Jackson will move to the bench for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Impact No surprise here, as Jamal Murray is returning from his ankle issue to reclaim his starting spot. Jackson did a terrific job holding down the fort Tuesday against the Bulls, as he racked up 25 points with six assists, two rebounds and five three-pointers.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Available to play Gordon (heel) is available for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Impact Gordon continues to play through probable tags and will make his sixth straight appearance Thursday. He's been struggling since his return to action, posting averages of 12.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists in his last five games with a total of two steals, one block and two triples in that span.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Good to go Murray (ankle) will play in Thursday's game against the Nets.
Impact Murray was carrying a probable tag into Thursday's game prior to this update. He was held out of Tuesday's game against the Bulls, but that was the second leg of a back-to-back set and the Nuggets were likely exercising caution.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Likely to play Thursday Gordon (heel) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Gordon continues to deal with a right heel strain but is expected to suit up in his sixth straight game Thursday. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 12.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29.4 minutes across his last five appearances.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Expected to suit up Thursday Murray (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Murray is expected to return to action Thursday after missing Denver's previous game due to bilateral ankle sprains. The star guard will likely replace Reggie Jackson in the starting five against Brooklyn.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Out vs. BKN, in concussion protocol Caldwell-Pope (head) was placed in concussion protocol and is out for Thursday's matchup against the Nets.
Impact Caldwell-Pope exited Tuesday's game early after just 13 minutes due to a head contusion, and the Nuggets are holding him out Thursday. It will be the veteran's first missed game of the season. In his absence, more minutes could be available for Reggie Jackson, Christian Braun, Justin Holiday and/or Julian Strawther.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
DeAndre Jordan - Near double-double off bench Jordan ended with nine points (2-4 FG, 5-10 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 win over Chicago.
Impact Nikola Jokic was ejected in the first half, so Jordan saw extended playing time and made the most of it. The 35-year-old backup has been solid when given an opportunity this season, but his production is correlated to Jokic's availability.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Strawther - Another strong performance Strawther logged 16 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 win over the Bulls.
Impact With Nikola Jokic being ejected and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope leaving early with a heady contusion, Strawther stepped up in Denvers' win over Chicago on Tuesday. The rookie forward is averaging 19.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.5 assists in 25.5 minutes across his last two outings. If Strawther can maintain consistent production, he could become one of the Nugget's most important bench pieces.
