Nuggets' Murray joins Jokic in protocols, out against Mavs
Jamal Murray has joined Denver star Nikola Jokic in the health and safety protocols and is out for Friday night’s game at the Dallas MavericksNOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ish Smith - Out as expected Smith (calf) will not play Friday against the Mavericks.
Impact Friday's contest marks eight straight absences for Smith due to a right calf strain, and with Jamal Murray (COVID-19 protocols), Nikola Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) and Aaron Gordon (illness) out, the Nuggets will be short-handed. Bones Hyland and Bruce Brown should receive plenty of run in the backcourt Friday. Smith's next opportunity to take the floor will come on Sunday in a rematch with Dallas.

Aaron Gordon - Out Friday Gordon (illness) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Mavericks.
Impact Gordon was unable to participate in the Nuggets' shootaround Friday morning due to an illness and ultimately did not recover enough to give it a go. In his absence, Jeff Green figures to draw another start.

Aaron Gordon - Misses shootaround due to illness Gordon (illness) wasn't present during Denver's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's matchup against Dallas, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Gordon remains questionable for Friday's matchup due to an illness, but his lack of availability during shootaround doesn't bode well for his chances to suit up. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray were away from the team as well, but they have both been ruled out for the game already due to health and safety protocols. If Gordon misses a second straight contest, expect Jeff Green to draw another start alongside DeAndre Jordan.

Ish Smith - Unlikely to play Friday Smith (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Smith was listed as doubtful ahead of Denver's previous game before ultimately being ruled out for a seventh consecutive contest. It appears he'll likely remain sidelined Friday, so Bruce Brown and Bones Hyland should handle most of the point guard duties with Jamal Murray (COVID-19 protocols) out.

Aaron Gordon - Questionable Friday Gordon (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Gordon missed Wednesday's loss to the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness. The injury designation suggests there is a chance Gordon returns Friday, but head coach Michael Malone didn't seem optimistic when asked about Gordon's status after Wednesday's game. If Gordon ultimately remains sidelined, Jeff Green would likely draw another start alongside DeAndre Jordan in the frontcourt with Nikola Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) ruled out.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Out Friday Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Jokic will miss a second consecutive game as he remains in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. As a result, DeAndre Jordan will likely draw another start at center in his absence. Jokic's next chance to return will arrive Sunday in a rematch with Dallas if he clears protocols by then.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - In protocols, out Friday Murray is out Friday against the Mavericks due to health and safety protocols.
Impact The Nuggets appear to be dealing with a COVID-19 issue within the team, and both Murray and Nikola Jokic are out due to protocols. Bones Hyland should see plenty of extra usage in Murray's stead.

Aaron Gordon - Likely to sit Friday Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said after Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Knicks that he doesn't expect Gordon (illness) to be available for the team's next game Friday in Dalla...
Impact While Malone said that a final decision hasn't been made on the statuses of Gordon and Nikola Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) for the first of two games in Dallas this weekend, the Nuggets are proceeding as though neither player will be ready to play while they work through their respective ailments. In Wednesday's game, Jeff Green replaced Gordon in the starting five and finished with 10 points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and two rebounds in 28 minutes.

Nikola Jokic - Could sit again Friday Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said after Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Knicks that he doesn't expect Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) to be available for the team's next game Frida...
Impact Jokic missed Wednesday's contest and remains stuck in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, and while a final decision on the two-time MVP's status hasn't been made for Friday, Malone said he's proceeding as though both Jokic and Aaron Gordon (illness) won't be ready to play. The Nuggets will likely wait until after shootaround Friday morning to decide on Jokic's status, but if he's sidelined for a third straight contest, DeAndre Jordan would likely be in store for another start at center.

Bones Hyland - Bangs in five triples in return Hyland (COVID-19 protocols) ended Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Knicks with 21 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes.
Impact After missing the Nuggets' last two games, Hyland picked up right where he left off with another impressive offensive performance. Though he got off to a slow start to the season, Hyland has accelerated his production of late, finding his rhythm and scoring at least 20 points in three of his past five games. He's not necessarily a must-add player in 12-team leagues, but given the trajectory, he's worth a look for managers with an open roster spot who are looking to chase upside.

DeAndre Jordan - Grabs eight boards in spot start Jordan produced four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to New York.
Impact Jordan played a season-high 26 minutes in the loss, filling in for Nikola Jokic, who was placed in the health and safety protocols. Despite the promotion, Jordan offered very little in terms of fantasy value, proving to be a non-factor on both ends of the floor. If Jokic misses more time, which is likely, Jordan should be viewed as nothing more than a possible streaming candidate.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Zeke Nnaji - Lands additional playing time Nnaji chipped in 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to New York.
Impact Nnaji stepped into a larger role with both Nikola Jokic (health and safety protocols) and Aaron Gordon (illness) on the sideline, putting up a season-high 13 points. While it is always nice to see fringe players getting an opportunity, given the fact he had failed to see more than nine minutes in any game prior to Wednesday, this is not something fantasy managers need to pay attention to moving forward.

DeAndre Jordan - Starting for Jokic Jordan will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Impact With Nikola Jokic (health and safety protocols) and Aaron Gordon (illness) both sidelined, Jordan will start alongside Jeff Green in Denver's frontcourt Wednesday. While Jordan's best years are clearly behind him at this point, he has remained fairly consistent as a backup, averaging 5.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per contest this season.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeff Green - Starting Wednesday Green will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Impact With Aaron Gordon (illness) sidelined Wednesday, Green will make his first start of the 2022-23 campaign. The veteran is averaging 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 20.0 minutes per contest this season.

Ish Smith - Won't play Wednesday Smith (calf) won't play in Wednesday's game against Golden State.
Impact Smith will remain on the sidelines for at least one more contest due to a right calf strain. The veteran hasn't played since logging eight minutes off the bench Oct. 30 against the Lakers.
