Jamal Murray - Downgraded to questionable Murray (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Trail Blazers.

Impact Murray was initially listed as probable with a lingering ankle issue but has since been downgraded to questionable. While the point guard still has a chance to suit up, it appears he's trending in the wrong direction. Bones Hyland (ankle) is also questionable, so Ish Smith and Bruce Brown may be candidates for increased roles, though Nikola Jokic would presumably handle the majority of the ball-handling responsibilities if both of Denver's point guard are ultimately ruled out.

Vlatko Cancar - Iffy for Tuesday Cancar (lower leg) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Cancar missed Denver's last game due to a lower leg contusion and is at risk of missing a second consecutive contest. If that were to be the case, Christian Braun would be in line for another extended look off the bench.

Bones Hyland - Questionable Tuesday Hyland (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Hyland exited Sunday's game against the Magic due to a sprained right ankle, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available two days later. If he's sidelined against Portland, Bruce Brown could see increased playing time.

Collin Gillespie - Not playing Tuesday Gillespie (lower leg) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact The two-way rookie out of Villanova has yet to make his professional debut while he works his way back from the surgery he underwent earlier in the summer to repair a fractured right lower leg. The Nuggets haven't provided many specifics regarding where exactly Gillespie stands in his recovery, so he could still be a week or more away from playing in games. Expect the Nuggets to assign him to the G League's Grand Rapids Gold once he receives full medical clearance.

Jamal Murray - Likely to play Tuesday Murray is probable for Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Murray has been listed as probable before being upgraded to active in each of his last two games after exiting Wednesday's game due to an ankle injury. Tuesday's contest should be no different; however, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to tipoff considering the tilt is the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Jamal Murray - Closes with 14 second-half points Murray notched 18 points (6-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Orlando.

Impact Murray couldn't find his shooting rhythm in the first half, knocking down just one of six field goal attempts and two free throws for a total of four points, while adding five assists and three rebounds. He fared better in the second half with 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting to help the Nuggets hang on for their sixth straight win. The point guard shot 35.3 percent from the field in the contest, his worst shooting percentage this month by a wide margin, though he's now scored at least 18 points in eight of his last 11 games.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Jokic - Another triple-double in win Jokic amassed 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Orlando.

Impact As has become the norm, Jokic was on his way to a triple-double by halftime, scoring 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field to go along with nine assists and seven rebounds. He made only three more shots over the final two quarters for seven points but chipped in another five dimes and three boards to notch his third double-double in his last four games. Jokic also led the contest in assists (14) and rebounds (10) and continues to make his case for a third-consecutive MVP award following the 2022-23 season.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Gordon - Goes for game-high 25 points Gordon ended Sunday's 119-116 win over the Magic with 25 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-11 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes.

Impact Gordon led all scorers on the night, ending a streak of eight straight games in which he finished with 18 points or fewer. During the relative lull in his scoring production, Gordon still found a way to produce for fantasy managers, as he converted at a 50 percent clip from the field during that span while averaging 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest. He'll been a pleasant surprise for managers in category leagues who selected him with a late-round draft pick.
