Impact Despite nursing back pain, the veteran will be available for the Nuggets on Wednesday. The forward has totaled 28 points across his last three matchups.

Jeff Green - Active Tuesday Green (back) is active Tuesday against Memphis, T.J. McBride of Denver Stiffs reports.
Michael Porter Jr. - Downgraded to out Porter (heel) won't play in Tuesday's game versus Memphis, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Porter hasn't played since Nov. 22 due to a heel injury. While he won't return Tuesday, Nuggets coach Mike Malone said there's a chance Porter comes back for Friday's matchup with Portland.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Active Tuesday Caldwell-Pope (leg) is active Tuesday against Memphis, T.J. McBride of Denver Stiffs reports.
Impact Caldwell-Pope will presumably resume his normal starting duty despite nursing a leg injury. The veteran posted 20 points, five assists and four rebounds in 32 minutes during Sunday's win over Charlotte.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Questionable Tuesday Caldwell-Pope is questionable for Tuesday's contest against Memphis with a left lower leg contusion.
Impact Caldwell-Pope is at risk of missing his second game of the season after popping up as questionable for Tuesday. If the veteran guard is unable to suit up, Bones Hyland, Bruce Brown and Christian Braun all emerge as candidates to receive more usage against Memphis.

Jeff Green - Dealing with back pain Green is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to low back pain.
Impact Green has appeared in six straight contests since returning from a seven-game absence due to a knee injury. However, the veteran forward may be sidelined again Tuesday after experiencing back pain. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (leg) and Jamal Murray (knee) are also listed as questionable, so it's currently unclear what Denver's rotation will look like against Memphis
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Porter Jr. - Doubtful Tuesday Porter (heel) is doubtful for Tuesday's contest against the Grizzlies.
Impact While Porter's chances of playing Tuesday still seem slim, it is encouraging to see the 24-year-old's injury status improve in some regard. If Porter ultimately can't suit up, his next chance to return comes Friday against the Trail Blazers.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Listed as questionable Murray is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to left knee injury management.
Impact Murray was recently dealing with a sprained ankle, but he's now in danger of sitting out Tuesday to rest his surgically repaired left knee. Over his past three contests, the point guard has averaged just 11.3 points while shooting 36.4 percent from the field, so a night off could be advantageous for Murray's overall production in the long run.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Deemed probable for Tuesday Jokic is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to a right knee contusion.
Impact Jokic is coming off a ridiculous 40-point, 27-rebound and 10-assist performance Sunday, becoming just the third player in NBA history to post a 40-25-10 line. However, he appears to have picked up a minor injury during the contest as well, though it doesn't look like the issue will sideline him Tuesday. If available, Jokic figures to handle his usual workload against Memphis.

Michael Porter Jr. - Could return before end of 2022 Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Porter (heel) has made steady progress in his rehabilitation and is nearing a return to game action, Dennis Georgatos of The Asso...
Impact Porter was once again sidelined for Sunday's 119-115 win over the Hornets, marking his 12th consecutive absence due to a left heel strain. Based on Malone's comments about Porter possibly returning in the next 7-to-10 days, the forward can probably be ruled out for the entirety of the Nuggets' upcoming three-game week. A return for one game of the Nuggets' Dec. 27 and 28 back-to-back set in Sacramento could be a realistic target for Porter if he continues to avoid setbacks while ramping up his on-court activity.

Aaron Gordon - Another strong performance Sunday Gordon posted 19 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-115 victory over the Hornets.
Impact Gordon put together another solid performance in the win, continuing what could be described as a breakout season. Despite being 27, he is in the midst of his best season, sitting inside the top 70 thanks to averages of 17.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 triples on 61.2 percent shooting from the floor. The eventual return of Michael Porter from a heel issue could cut into Gordon's opportunity but until then, simply keep rolling him out there on a nightly basis.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Posts 20-point effort in victory Caldwell-Pope produced 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-115 victory over Charlotte.
Impact Caldwell-Pope topped 20 points for just the second time this season, a welcome sight for anyone who has sat through his recent struggles. Despite a regular starting role, Caldwell-Pope is outside the top 150 over the past month. The bulk of his value comes from low turnovers and a sprinkling of three-pointers, both categories that can be streamed with relative ease.

Nikola Jokic - Historic night Sunday Jokic ended with 40 points (13-26 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 12-17 FT), 27 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 119-115 victory over Charlotte.
Impact Jokic became just the third player in NBA history to record a 40-25-10 line, another incredible feat for the reigning two-time MVP. After a somewhat slow start to the season -- at least by his lofty standard -- Jokic is slowly edging back to being the No. 1 fantasy player he was drafted as in most points and categories leagues. Over his last five games, Jokic is averaging 34.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 2.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers on elite shooting from the field (59.4 percent).
