Jeff Green - Scores 11 points Thursday Green produced 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 113-102 loss to Golden State.

Impact Green missed Denver's previous game to accompany his wife for the birth of the couple's daughter, but he was back in the starting unit for the loss Thursday. The veteran forward didn't overwhelm offensively but was at least efficient in reaching 11 points, knocking down three of five field-goal attempts and going 5-for-5 from the charity stripe. Green has maintained a consistent role for the Nuggets, but his per-game averages of 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in over 50 games as a starter leave much to be desired.

Aaron Gordon - Registers double-double in loss Gordon logged 10 points (2-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 113-102 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Gordon struggled mightily as a shooter against the Warriors, converting just 2 of 11 field-goal attempts. However, he went 5-for-6 from the charity stripe and grabbed 11 boards to finish with his first double-double since Feb. 16. Gordon appears locked into around 30 minutes per night, but he is producing a modest 14.1 points, 5.2 boards, 2.0 assists and 0.7 three-pointers per game since the All-Star break.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Jokic's Nuggets didn't come out on top Thursday, but the big man once again led the team in scoring, rebounding and assists. He did struggle with his jumper, going 0-for-8 from three-point range, though he salvaged a respectable shooting line by making 9 of 13 shot attempts from inside the arc. Since the All-Star break, Jokic is averaging 26.5 points, 14.1 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks across eight games.
