Bones Hyland - Numbers, minutes trend down Hyland posted five points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds across 17 minutes Wednesday in the Nuggets' 117-116 win over the Warriors.
Impact As expected, Hyland's three-game run as a starter came to an end with Monte Morris (concussion) gaining clearance to return to the lineup Wednesday. With the demotion to the second unit came a reduction in playing time, and though Hyland was solid enough during his time on the court from a counting-stats standpoint, the rookie probably needs a consistent 25-plus-minute role to become a worthy back-end roster option in most 12-team leagues.

Toyota Game Recap: Nuggets 117 - Warriors 116
FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Bryn Forbes - Scores 22 points in win Forbes posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 win over the Warriors.
Impact Forbes was Denver's second-leading scorer behind Nikola Jokic (35 points) in the contest. The reserve guard notched his second game of 20-plus points so far in February and led all players with four three-pointers. Forbes has the ability to get hot from deep on occasion, but his inconsistency and lack of peripheral stats make him difficult to roster in most fantasy leagues.

Monte Morris - Nails game-winning triple Morris (concussion) provided 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists and four rebounds across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 win over Golden State.
Impact Morris took only six shots in the game, but he converted a three-pointer from the right wing with the clock expiring in the fourth quarter to give Denver a one-point win. The fifth-year guard had missed each of the Nuggets' previous three games due to a concussion, yet he played more minutes than any Denver player aside from Nikola Jokic on Wednesday. Morris is providing moderate fantasy value this season with per-game averages of 12.7 points, 4.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 treys.
FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Posts near triple-double Jokic contributed 35 points (13-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 17 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 victory over the Warriors.
Impact Jokic registered his first performance of 30-plus points since Jan. 23 and his highest scoring total since Jan. 19. He posted 11 points and eight boards in the first quarter alone and finished with his 12th consecutive double-double. Jokic leads all NBA players in that category with 46 this season and continues to push for his second consecutive NBA MVP award. The big man is averaging 26.0 points, 13.8 boards, 7.9 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 57.0 percent from the field over 52 games.
