Bones Hyland - Logs double-digit scoring again Hyland closed with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 win over the Lakers.
Impact Thanks to excellent assist totals in limited action, Hyland's fantasy point-per-minute results have been excellent. The rookie will continue to work with the second unit as the Nuggets begin their playoff run.
APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Drops 10 dimes in win Morris racked up six points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Morris didn't do much in the scoring column, but his 10 assists salvaged his fantasy total in Sunday's victory. The assist total was a season-high for Morris, who only totals 4.4 assists per game. It's a very low average for a starting point guard playing on a winning team
APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Logs second-straight 24-point total Gordon finished with 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 win over the Lakers.
Impact Despite a few hiccups in March, Gordon entered Sunday's contest on a great run, averaging 16.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists over his past 10 games. Gordon should be pumped to put in work with a contender, as he only made two playoff appearances over his seven years with the Magic, and only won a total of two playoff games.

Will Barton - Drains six threes in victory Barton totaled 25 points (8-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Barton turned in an outstanding total after coming into Sunday's game with a nagging knee injury. Barton was an accurate scoring machine, converting 66.6 percent of his shots and 75 percent of his attempts beyond the arc.
APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Continues to make MVP case Jokic finished with 38 points (15-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 18 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 victory over the Lakers.
Impact The Nuggets were expected to excel against the LeBron-less Lakers, and it was no surprise to see Jokic finish with a prolific total. Jokic will get his share of votes for the MVP title, especially after his recent string of games. He entered Sunday's game averaging 30 points, 12.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks over a ten-game span.

Cancar may have reached the day-to-day phase recovery at this point, but even if he's available for any of the Nuggets' final four regular-season contests, he's not expected to have a significant role off the bench.

The rookie launched a career-high 12 three-point attempts, and while he only connected on two, he now has multiple threes in 10 of his last 11 appearances. During that stretch, he's averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 threes.
