Reggie Jackson - Leads Denver without Jokic Jackson contributed 25 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Jackson moved to the starting lineup with Jamal Murray (ankle) out, and he was sensational, ending as the Nuggets' leading scorer in this tight win, though that also happened because Nikola Jokic was ejected in the first half. Jackson has proven he can deliver strong performances when deployed in a starting role, but ultimately, his upside going forward will be tied to Murray's availability.

Michael Porter Jr. - Goes for 17 points in win Porter amassed 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 victory over Chicago.
Impact Porter bounced back from an ugly three-point outing (1-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) against the Hawks on Monday, and he's now cleared the 15-point plateau in four of his last six contests. Porter was forced to handle a bigger role on offense once Nikola Jokic got ejected, and while he struggled in terms of efficiency, his final stat line was decent across the board.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Decent output in win Tuesday Gordon ended Tuesday's 114-106 victory over Chicago with 14 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes.
Impact Gordon once again logged a full workload, so his heel injury is not likely to be an issue going forward, but the power forward continues to deliver inconsistent numbers for the Nuggets. He has scored at least 14 points in three of his last five outings since returning from a four-game absence between late November and early December, but he also posted two single-digit scoring outputs in that span. Gordon is probably the fourth-best option on offense when the Nuggets are at full strength, however, so as long as he continues to score in double digits, he should remain a decent fantasy asset.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic ejected in second quarter against Bulls, Chicago fans boo
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Now ruled out for remainder of game Caldwell-Pope won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Bulls due to a head contusion, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports. Caldwell-Pope will end the game four points (2-4 FG)...
Impact Caldwell-Pope initially exited Tuesday's game and was deemed questionable to return with a head contusion before returning and playing an additional nine minutes. However, it appears that an evaluation done during halftime has ruled out the veteran guard for the remainder of Tuesday's contest. Christian Braun, Julian Strawther and Justin Holiday are all candidates to receive extended playing time in Caldwell-Pope's absence.

Nikola Jokic - Tossed from Tuesday's contest Jokic was assessed with a technical foul and ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Bulls with 1:08 remaining in the second quarter. Jokic ends the contest with four points (2-5 FG...
Impact Jokic was ejected after arguing with the officials, as the superstar big man thought he was fouled on a layup attempt over Nikola Vucevic. Deandre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji are candidates to receive increased playing time in Jokic's absence.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Returns to action Caldwell-Pope (head) has returned to Tuesday's game versus the Bulls, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Caldwell-Pope was deemed questionable to return Tuesday with a head contusion but has already checked back in against Chicago. The veteran guard is shooting 40.4 percent from three this season and is one of Denver's top perimeter defenders.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Iffy to return against Chicago Caldwell-Pope is questionable for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Bulls due to a head contusion, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Caldwell-Pope recorded two points in four minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If the veteran guard is unable to return, Christian Braun, Julian Strawther and Justin Holiday are candidates to receive increased minutes.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - Starting sans Murray Jackson is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Jackson will replace Jamal Murray (ankle) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Jackson is averaging 16.3 points, 5.3 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 29.9 minutes across his previous 13 starting appearances.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Will not play Tuesday Murray (ankle) will not play Tuesday versus the Bulls, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Murray has been battling bilateral ankle sprains, so it's no surprise to see the Nuggets exercise caution on the second leg of this back-to-back set. Reggie Jackson will likely step into the starting lineup in Murray's place, and it's a role he's familiar with.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Will play Tuesday Gordon is active for Tuesday's game against Chicago, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Gordon logged a full workload in Monday's victory over Atlanta, posting 18 points and 12 rebounds in 29 minutes, so his availability Tuesday isn't overly surprising. Denver will be at full strength with the likely exception of Jamal Murray (ankles), who is doubtful.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Downgraded to doubtful Murray (ankles) is listed as doubtful to play Tuesday against Chicago, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Murray has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for the second half of Denver's back-to-back Tuesday. Reggie Jackson would likely move into the starting lineup if Murray is unable to suit up.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Probable for Tuesday Gordon is probable for Tuesday's game against Chicago with a right heel strain.
Impact Gordon's right heel forced him to miss four straight games towards the end of November, but he's been active in Denver's last four games. Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Gordon played 29 minutes Monday night. It's possible the Nuggets watch his minutes closely against the Bulls for that reason.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Battling bilateral ankle sprains Murray (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday against Chicago.
Impact Murray's status for the second game of Denver's back-to-back set Tuesday is undetermined, but he logged a full workload in Monday's win over Atlanta, delivering 29 points in 29 minutes. Murray is tending to soreness in both ankles, and although he didn't suffer any aggravation in Monday's contest, Denver could opt to be cautious in ramping up the 26-year-old.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Strawther - Best game of season Monday Strawther chipped in 22 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and five steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 129-122 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Strawther came out firing off the bench, and the Nuggets rode his hot hand in Monday's tight road win over Atlanta. As a result, Strawther posted a season-high mark in both minutes played and points scored. However, he's not expected to score in double digits off the bench regularly, as he's achieved that feat just four times in the current campaign. Fantasy managers should temper their expectations with the rookie out of Gonzaga, as there's a strong chance this game might have been an outlier and not a sign to come for him soon.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Shines on both ends Monday Jokic accumulated 25 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 129-122 win over the Hawks.
Impact Jamal Murray and Julian Strawther stood out on offense for the Nuggets, and while Jokic still posted the second-highest scoring mark on the team, he made his presence felt in other areas, as evidenced by the fact that he ended just two rebounds and one assist away from a triple-double. Filling out the stat sheet is nothing special for the star big man, as he continues to deliver first-round value even when he doesn't play at his best. Through his last 10 games, Jokic is averaging an outstanding 27.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 10.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Sniffs double-double in win Murray contributed 29 points (12-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 129-122 victory over Atlanta.
Impact The Nuggets had to work harder than expected down the stretch to close out the win over the Hawks, and Murray played a prominent role in the victory -- he led the team in scoring and finished just one rebound shy of posting his third double-double of the campaign. The star point guard has endured a tough time due to several injuries and has logged just seven games since the start of November, but he's excellent when available. As long as he's healthy, he should play a prominent role on offense for the Nuggets operating as the second-best option behind Nikola Jokic.
