Aaron Gordon - Good to go vs. Celtics Gordon (shoulder) will start Sunday's game against Boston, Brendan Vogt of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact As anticipated, Gordon will be available and start at his usual power forward spot. The Arizona product is coming off of an 11-point, five-rebound, three-assist, two-steal effort in Friday's win over Miami.

Bruce Brown - Will start for Murray Brown (ankle) will start Sunday's game against Boston, Brendan Vogt of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Brown was listed as probable due to a sprained right ankle, but it looks like he'll play through the issue and start at point guard in place of Jamal Murray (injury management). In 18 starts this season, Brown is averaging 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 threes in 33.2 minutes per contest.

Jamal Murray - Ruled out Sunday Murray (injury management) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, TJ McBride of Denver Stiffs reports.
Impact As has been the case all season, Murray will be held out of one half of the Nuggets' upcoming back-to-back set. The expectation is that he'll return return for Monday's game against Minnesota, though fantasy managers may want to brace for a potential two-game week from the star guard, as Denver has another back-to-back set coming up Thursday (vs. LAC) and Friday (vs. CLE).

Jamal Murray - Iffy for Sunday Murray (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Celtics due to injury management.
Impact Murray is at risk for resting Sunday given the contest is the first of a back-to-back set. He has yet to play both legs of a back-to-back this season, having sat in one portion of each set thus far. Bones Hyland would likely enter the starting lineup and become a strong fantasy option if Murray sits.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Likely to play Sunday Gordon (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's meeting with the Celtics.
Impact Gordon returned from a two-game absence due to a right shoulder strain and logged 33 minutes Friday. He should be expected to play and handle a full workload Sunday barring any setbacks.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bruce Brown - Likely to play Sunday Brown is probable for Sunday's game versus Boston with a right ankle sprain.
Impact Brown is expected to play through a nagging ankle injury that forced him to miss last Wednesday's game. He is averaging 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.8 minutes across his last five appearances.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Perfect from field in win Caldwell-Pope recorded 20 points (7-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 124-119 win over Miami.
Impact The Nuggets couldn't have asked for much more out of Caldwell-Pope on Friday as the shooting guard made all seven of his shot attempts in the contest for a team-high 20 points. Caldwell-Pope scored nine points in the first half and 11 in the second half while knocking down four threes for just the fourth time in his 2022-2023 campaign. It was also just his third time reaching the 20-point mark this season.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Records seventh triple-double Jokic racked up 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 124-119 win over Miami.
Impact Jokic scored just four points on 2-of-6 shooting in the first half but also managed six assists and four rebounds. He was much more productive in the second half, knocking down six of nine shots from the field for 15 points while adding another eight rebounds and six dimes to notch his seventh triple-double of the season. The reigning MVP is now averaging a triple-double in the month of December (29.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 10.1 assists) and has dished out 10 or more assists in six of his last seven contests.

Bones Hyland - Slides back to second unit Hyland will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Heat.
Impact Hyland received the spot start last time out with Jamal Murray (knee) absent, however, with Murray back he will return to the second unit. He nabbed a double-double across 33 minutes in the start but should see fewer minutes. However, Hyland has shown the capability to produce in limited minutes and remains a solid option in deeper formats.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Zeke Nnaji - Heads to bench Nnaji will return to the second unit Friday.
Impact Nnaji received a pair of spot starts in the place of Aaron Gordon (shoulder), but with Gordon back he will shift back to the bench. Prior to the starting stint, Nnaji hadn't logged 15 minutes since Nov. 28.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bruce Brown - Active Friday Brown (ankle) will play in Friday's game against Miami, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Brown was tabbed as questionable alongside Aaron Gordon (shoulder) and Jamal Murray (knee), but all three will be active for the contest. Upon Brown's return, Christian Braun and Vlatko Cancar will likely see fewer minutes.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Starting Friday Murray (knee) is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Heat, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Murray was in danger of missing his second straight game due to a knee issue. However, Denver has given him the green light and the star guard will presumably take on his usual workload assuming his knee is up to the challenge.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Returning Friday Gordon (shoulder) is good to go and in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Heat, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Gordon will return from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Look for him to return to his usual workload assuming he avoids any type of setback.
