GAME LOG

Jamal Murray - Will start Friday Murray (quadriceps) will start Friday against the Hawks.
Impact Murray was downgraded to questionable earlier Friday due to a quadriceps injury, but he'll still be able to take his usual spot in Denver's starting lineup. Over his past three appearances, the point guard has averaged 26.0 points, 5.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bones Hyland - Listed as available Hyland (illness) is available for Friday's matchup against Atlanta.
Impact Hyland, who's been battling an illness, was deemed available for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets as well, but he didn't see the court for a fourth straight game. The extent of his situation remains unclear, but the second-year point guard will be a risky play until he finally reasserts himself as a core member of Denver's rotation.
DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Peyton Watson - Out Friday Watson (hamstring) will not take the floor Friday against the Hawks.
Impact Watson isn't a part of the rotation and his absence will not impact fantasy. His next chance to play comes Sunday in New Orleans.
DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Active Friday Murray (quadriceps) will play Friday against the Hawks.
Impact Murray was downgraded to questionable earlier Friday but will ultimately give it a go. With Bones Hyland (illness) also active, Denver should have its usual backcourt rotation going against Atlanta.
DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Porter Jr. - No timetable for return Porter (heel) doesn't have a timeframe for his return to the floor, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Head coach Michael Malone noted that Porter is making some improvements but said the forward didn't practice Thursday. Malone added that the team will stay patient and won't rush Porter back until he's ready. It certainly doesn't seem like Porter is close to suiting up for any games at this point, but his eventual return to practice should provide further clarity on his current heel injury.
DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeff Green - Could return Sunday Head coach Mike Malone indicated Friday that Green (knee) is progressing and could return Sunday versus the Pelicans, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Green can be ruled out for Friday's tilt versus the Hawks as a result, but it doesn't sound like he's far from returning after what will be a six-game absence following Friday's DNP. Green should play significant frontcourt minutes once he's cleared for game action, though he'll most likely return in a bench role.
DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Peyton Watson - Deemed questionable Friday Watson is questionable to play in Friday's game against the Hawks due to a right hamstring strain.
Impact If Watson is unable to play Friday, his next chance to suit up will be Sunday's game against the Pelicans. Watson has played only 2.5 minutes per game across six appearances this season, so his potential absence shouldn't affect Denver's rotation.
DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Downgraded to questionable Murray (quadriceps) was downgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Murray was initially listed as probable for Friday's matchup, but he's trending in the wrong direction a few hours before tipoff. If he's unavailable against the Hawks, Ish Smith will likely see increased playing time.

As the Nuggets surge in the Western Conference, so does Jamal Murray Murray has scored 20-plus points in three straight games: "The confidence is starting to come back."
DECEMBER 2, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Jeff Green - Unlikely to play Friday Green (knee) is doubtful to play in Friday's game against the Hawks.
Impact Green will likely miss his sixth consecutive game Friday due to a right knee contusion. Green's next chance to play will be Sunday's game against the Pelicans if he's unavailable versus Atlanta.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Porter Jr. - Out again Friday Porter (heel) is out Friday against the Hawks.
Impact Porter will miss a fifth straight game with a bruised left heel, and the Nuggets continue to evaluate his status on a game-by-game basis. Vlatko Cancar, Davon Reed and Bruce Brown remain candidates for increased roles while Porter is sidelined.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Probable Friday Murray is probable for Friday's game at Atlanta due to a bruised right quad.
Impact After a choppy October, Murray has been more consistent this month. In 11 November appearances, he's averaged 20.0 points on 46/40/84 percent shooting, 5.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.1 minutes. The quad issue isn't expected to slow him down Friday.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Sniffs triple-double in win Jokic produced 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 victory over the Rockets.
Impact Jokic finished just one rebound shy of posting what would've been his fourth triple-double of the campaign, but the star big man and two-time MVP winner has been flirting with that accomplishment every time he steps on the court. Jokic has been playing extremely well of late and has returned to the level of consistency and dominance he showed in each of the last two seasons. Over his last five games since returning from a spell in the league's health and safety protocols, Jokic is averaging 27.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game while recording five double-doubles.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Vlatko Cancar - Scores 13 points off bench Cancar produced 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and five rebounds across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 victory over Houston.
Impact Cancar has been playing well off the bench for the Nuggets and delivered another strong performance here, missing just one shot from the field and recording double-digit scoring numbers for the third time across his last four appearances. While Cancar is not expected to start anytime soon, he's averaging 11.3 points per game during that four-game stretch.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Getting in groove Murray closed with 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 win over Houston.
Impact Murray had lots of consistency issues in the opening weeks of the season, but that was to be expected considering he didn't play at all during the 2021-22 campaign while rehabbing from an ACL injury. The point guard is starting to find his rhythm, however, and he's now scored at least 20 points in three games in a row for the first time in the current season. Murray averaged 20.0 points, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game across 11 appearances in November.
