Bryn Forbes - Big 26-point explosion falls short Forbes registered 26 points (10-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 108-104 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Forbes was the offensive star for a shorthanded Nuggets squad that was missing Nikola Jokic (toe), Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and DeMarcus Cousins (foot) on Wednesday. He notched his second-highest point total of the campaign on an uber-efficient 10-for-13 mark from the field. Forbes has shown the ability to get hot from deep and pour in points in bunches, but he doesn't contribute much in the way of peripheral stats and isn't likely to see consistent enough playing time to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues moving forward.

Austin Rivers - Joins starting five Rivers will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact With Aaron Gordon currently dealing with a sore left hamstring, Rivers will take his place in the starting lineup on Wednesday for the second half of Denver's back-to-back set. The 29-year-old is averaging 6.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 21.3 minutes per game this season.

Zeke Nnaji - Starting Wednesday Nnaji will start Wednesday's game at Utah.

Impact Nnaji will make his first start of the season with Nikola Jokic (toe) and DeMarcus Cousins (foot) sitting out Wednesday. JaMychal Green should also see more action for Denver, which will also be without Aaron Gordon (hamstring) in the frontcourt.

Aaron Gordon - Won't play Wednesday Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact After Gordon picked up some left hamstring tightness in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, it's not surprising the Nuggets are opting to give him the night off for the second half of their back-to-back set Wednesday. With Gordon out, both Austin Rivers and Davon Reed figure to see increased run in Denver's rotation. Gordon's next chance to return will be Friday against the Pelicans if the hamstring feels better by then.

DeMarcus Cousins - Out Wednesday Cousins (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Jazz.

Impact Cousins is set to miss his third consecutive game due to a right foot sprain. With Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon also out, the Nuggets will have to rely heavily on Jeff Green, Zeke Nnaji and JaMychal Green to run the frontcourt. Cousins' next chance to return will be Friday against the Pelicans.

Nikola Jokic - Won't play Wednesday Jokic (toe) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jokic was considered questionable for Wednesday's contest after playing through the right toe soreness Tuesday against the Timberwolves, and he won't suit up for the second half of the back-to-back set. DeMarcus Cousins (foot), if he's available, and JaMychal Green and Zeke Nnaji should see more run at center for Denver with Jokic sidelined.

FEBRUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Gordon - Managing hamstring injury Gordon is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact Gordon was limited to seven points, six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, but he's dealing with a hamstring issue ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's held out, Austin Rivers and Davon Reed should see increased playing time.

FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

DeMarcus Cousins - Questionable against Jazz Cousins (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Cousins has missed the last two games due to a right foot sprain but has a chance to return Wednesday. Nikola Jokic (toe) is also questionable, so Zeke Nnaji and JaMychal Green could be in line for additional work.

FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Jokic - Questionable Wednesday Jokic (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Jokic played through right toe soreness during Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves and logged 21 points, 16 rebounds, eight assists and a steal in 30 minutes. If he's unable to play during the second half of the back-to-back set, DeMarcus Cousins (foot) and JaMychal Green could see additional run.

JaMychal Green - Puts up 12 points in 18 minutes Green finished with 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes Tuesday in the Nuggets' 130-115 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Green looked to be on the outside of the Denver rotation after he exited the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols last week, but he's been able to take on double-digit minutes in both of the past two games with DeMarcus Cousins (foot) out of the lineup. Though he turned in a productive outing as a scorer Tuesday, Green isn't a lock to play ahead of Cousins if the latter is cleared to go in the Nuggets' next game Wednesday in Utah.

Facundo Campazzo - Downward slide continues in loss Campazzo closed with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one block across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Campazzo was a non-factor in the loss, struggling to contribute despite the fact the game descended into garbage time quite early. After a brief stint as a streaming option, he has fallen off a cliff of late. Based on what we have seen over the past few weeks, he would need a lot to go his way should he hope to elevate himself in the rotation once again. For now, only those in very deep formats should give him a look.

Bones Hyland - Ice cold in thumping defeat Hyland totaled five points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Hyland was invisible in the loss, failing to deliver anything of note. While he has flashed some upside throughout the season, fantasy managers should not view him as a 12-team commodity just yet. The Nuggets have a host of backcourt options, meaning Hyland really needs to come out firing to sustain his playing time. For now, placing him on a watchlist is about all that needs to be done.

FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Jokic - Another elite performance in loss Jokic amassed 21 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Jokic was given very little support as the Nuggets were hammered by the Timberwolves. He once again led the team in multiple categories, something he has been doing all season long. While he remains in the discussion for the league's top honor once again, he is pretty clearly the number one fantasy player right now. With a clear path to minutes and production, there is little reason to think anything changes down the stretch.
