Jamal Murray - 'Not close' to returning to lineup Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Murray (knee) is "not close" to rejoining the team's lineup, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Murray was back with the Nuggets on Sunday after a stint with the Grand Rapids Drive during which he practiced with the Nuggets' G League affiliate. All indications are that Murray continues to make progress as he works back from a torn ACL, but Malone's words Sunday are not the most encouraging update. There's still hope that the star guard could be back before the end of the regular season, but with only three weeks remaining, that's far from a guarantee.

Zeke Nnaji - Out Sunday Nnaji (knee) won't play Sunday against the Celtics.
Impact Nnaji will miss a sixth straight game due to bilateral knee soreness. His next opportunity to retake the court will be Tuesday against the Clippers.

Bones Hyland - Solid production off bench Hyland chipped in 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 119-116 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Hyland continues to provide a spark off the bench and has scored in double figures in five consecutive games. During that stretch, the rookie has averaged 16.4 points, 4.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest. Hyland has also connected on multiple threes in four straight games and is shooting 50.0 percent from deep during that span.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Near triple-double not enough Jokic ended with 32 points (15-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 119-116 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Jokic finished with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the eighth time this season, but his stellar production was not enough as Denver fell to Cleveland in overtime. Across nine appearances in March, Jokic has averaged 30.0 points, 13.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals in 34.0 minutes per game. He'll look to continue his dominant play Sunday against the Celtics.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Scores 20 points in loss Gordon totaled 20 points (9-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 35 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 119-116 overtime loss to the Cavali...
Impact Despite not connecting on any of his three-point attempts, Gordon still managed to score 20-plus points for the second time in March and the 13th time this season. He also finished with at least eight rebounds and five assists in the same game for just the second time during the campaign. However, the forward also committed seven turnovers and fouled out, so it was far from a flawless performance. Across nine appearances in March, Gordon has averaged 13.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30.1 minutes per game.

Zeke Nnaji - Questionable Friday Nnaji (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland, Nuggets reporter T.J. McBride reports.
Impact Nnaji continues to be listed as questionable on a game-to-game basis, but he's made just one appearance since Feb. 11, so it's unclear if he truly has a realistic chance to return Friday.

DeMarcus Cousins - Heathy usage in win Cousins accumulated 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 127-109 victory over the Wizards.
Impact Cousins led the Denver second unit in field-goal attempts Wednesday, capitalizing on the blowout game script but also symbolizing the healthy role he's carved out in Denver. Cousins has averaged 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.5 minutes per game over last five contests.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Solid in win Morris chipped in 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-109 win over the Wizards.
Impact in Wednesday's contest, Morris fell in line with his season averages of 13.0 points and 4.3 assists. Although Bones Hyland (17 points, 24 minutes) has been ascending of late, Morris remains the starter and is routinely logging more than 30 minutes per game. His ceiling may be slightly lower than earlier in the season, but Morris can be counted on for this level of production moving forward.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bones Hyland - Strong play continues Hyland finished with 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-109 win over the Wizards.
Impact Hyland is amid his best three-game stretch of the season, scoring at least 17 points in each game while shooting 52.8 percent from the field. He led the Denver bench in scoring, rebounding and assists Wednesday. Hyland is gaining steam for deeper leagues down the final stretch of the season.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Excellent again Jokic totaled 29 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, eight asists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-109 win over the Wizards.
Impact With Denver up 21 points at halftime and coasting to victory, Jokic was able to have a lessened workload -- playing less than 30 minutes for just the second time in his past 19 games. The lessened workload didn't lead to lessened production, however, as Jokic scored at will against a porous defense. Jokic has accumulated a staggering 18.6 wins above replacement this season. Jayson Tatum ranks second with WAR at 10.8.
