GAME LOG

Jamal Murray - Likely to play Friday Murray is probable for Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a right quadriceps contusion.
Impact Murray hasn't appeared to have many limitations early in the year, averaging 18.8 points, 7.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 33.4 minutes per game. While he's dealing with a quad issue, he'll likely be able to play through it during Friday's matchup.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Probable Friday Jokic is probable for Friday's game against Dallas due to low back pain.
Impact Jokic has had a dominant start to the 2023-24 season, averaging 26.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 33.2 minutes per game. Although he's managing a back issue, it seems unlikely that the injury will prevent him from suiting up Friday.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Pickett - Sees action blowout Pickett accumulated two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across five minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Pickett made just his second appearance of the season in Wednesday's loss. While the rookie guard tallied his first two rebounds of 2023-24, he doesn't appear to be a regular part of Denver's rotation.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hunter Tyson - Scores two in loss Tyson contributed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in four minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Tyson hasn't been a consistent part of the Nuggets' rotation this year, as he's appeared in just two of the team's first five games. The rookie second-rounder has averaged just 4.0 minutes per game over his two appearances.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Braxton Key - Dishes out three dimes Key closed Wednesday's 110-89 loss to the Timberwolves with zero points (0-2 FG) and three assists over five minutes.
Impact Key has been on the fringes of the Nuggets' rotation early this year, averaging just 3.0 minutes per game over three appearances. It seems likely that he'll head to the G League once the season gets underway.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Strawther - Plays double-digit minutes Strawther racked up five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two blocks and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Strawther played double-digit minutes off the bench for the first time this season Wednesday, but he wasn't very efficient from the floor. While he had some defensive success through his two blocks, he's unlikely to have much fantasy upside this year unless the Nuggets deal with injuries at some point.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zeke Nnaji - Scores nine in defeat Nnaji produced nine points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Nnaji signed a four-year contract extension with the Nuggets during the offseason, and while he's had consistent minutes off the bench, he hasn't displayed much fantasy upside. He had one of his best performances of the young season during Wednesday's defeat but is unlikely to see a significant uptick in production as long as the Nuggets stay fairly healthy.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Braun - Decent output off bench in loss Braun registered eight points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact No Denver player scored in double digits outside of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, but Braun had a strong performance off the bench, ending two points and one rebound away from reaching a double-double. Braun is widely expected to take a step forward this season after Denver lost several key bench players in the offseason, and he's answering the call to start the campaign. Through five games, Braun is averaging 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks across 21.8 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Can't win on his own Wednesday Jokic supplied 25 points (11-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Jokic and Jamal Murray were the only Denver players who scored in double digits in this one, and while the star big man did everything he could to carry the team to victory, he couldn't do it alone. The fact that Jokic had a "subpar" game but still notched 25 points and 10 rebounds is a testament to how dominant he's been to start the campaign, and he should remain an elite fantasy option every time he takes the floor. His next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Friday.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Struggles from field in loss Murray ended Wednesday's 110-89 loss to the Timberwolves with 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
Impact Murray and Nikola Jokic were the only two players who scored in double digits in this loss, as the Nuggets looked exhausted while seeing the end of their perfect start to the campaign. Despite the loss and the efficiency issues in this particular game, Murray is enjoying a solid start to the season. He should remain Denver's second-best player behind Jokic on most nights.

Jay Huff - Good to go Wednesday Huff (ribs) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Impact Huff will be available to make his season debut Wednesday after missing the Nuggets' first four contests with a rib injury. However, Huff isn't expected to receive much playing time in Denver's rotation.

Michael Porter Jr. - Little involvement in win Porter closed with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over the Jazz.
Impact Porter picked up three fouls in his 19 minutes of action and never found offensive rhythm. Denver shot just 42.9 percent as a team, so there will be better days ahead for both parties. A matchup against Minnesota on Wednesday is up next.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Scores eight points Caldwell-Pope racked up eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over the Jazz.
Impact Caldwell-Pope will rarely fill up the box score, but he's known for quietly providing a steady supply of defensive stats and three-pointers for Denver. Through four games, Caldwell-Pope is averaging 10.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 1.0 block and 1.8 three-pointers.

2023 NBA odds: James Harden trade to Clippers shifts title odds
Aaron Gordon - Booms for 21 Gordon finished with 21 points (10-12 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 110-102 victory over the Jazz.
Impact Coming off a championship campaign in which Gordon shot a career-best 56.4 percent from the field, he's connecting on 63.4 percent of his shots through Denver's first four games of 2023-24. The 28-year-old continues to be the Nuggets' two-way lynchpin at power forward.
