Michael Porter Jr. - Sinks three triples in loss Porter scored 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and added four rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 loss to the Kings.
Impact Porter has now achieved double digit scoring outputs in his last eight straight games, averaging 16.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.3 steals in that span. However, his three-point efficiency has taken a dip recently, averaging only 34.3 percent from long distance. As the Nuggets look to bounce back after the break, they will likely need more consistency from beyond the arc from Porter.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Gordon - Leads team in scoring despite loss Gordon exploded for 25 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 loss to the Kings.
Impact Wednesday night also marked Gordon's fifth time eclipsing 20 points this season and seventh consecutive game scoring double digits. However, his most notable achievement was sinking all eight free throw attempts, bringing up to 64.1 percent from the line. Gordon is averaging 15.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.6 steals through 30.3 minutes in his last nine games, and he will look to continue his all-around contribution for Denver after the All-Star break.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Subpar performance in loss Jokic posted 15 points (6-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a block in Wednesday's 102-98 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Although Jokic did not turn the ball over, his efficiency from the field was very underwhelming, which may have been a part of why Denver lost. Not having Jamal Murray (leg) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) in the starting lineup also didn't help. Nonetheless, the Nuggets will look to reconvene after the All-Star break, where hopefully everyone will be healthy.

Justin Holiday - Gets starting nod Holiday is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Kings.
Impact Holiday will replace Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Holiday is averaging 7.0 points, 2.2 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 27.2 minutes across his last five starting appearances.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - Starting Wednesday Jackson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Sacramento, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact With Jamal Murray (leg) unavailable, Jackson will draw the start and he'll be joined by Justin Holiday, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. Across 14 starts this season, Jackson owns averages of 16.9 points, 5.4 assists, 2.1 triples and 1.9 turnovers per contest on 54 percent shooting from the floor.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Strawther - Ruled out for Wednesday Strawther (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact The ankle injury will force Strawther to the sidelines for Denver's final game heading into the All-Star break, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for next Thursday's game against Washington. With Jamal Murray (tibia), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) and Strawther all unavailable for Wednesday's game, Christian Braun could see some decent run in the rotation.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Ruled out Wednesday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Caldwell-Pope was deemed doubtful by Nuggets head coach Michael Malone and will, as expected, miss Wednesday's contest. With the Nuggets also down Jamal Murray (tibias), expect Christian Braun, Reggie Jackson, Justin Holiday and Collin Gillespie to handle the brunt of the backcourt work. Caldwell-Pope will have a full week to rest before the Nuggets play Washington on Feb. 22.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Downgraded to out Murray (lower leg) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Kings, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Murray has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to bilateral tibia inflammation, as expected. Reggie Jackson will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Murray's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star Break on Feb. 22 against Washington.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Strawther - Dealing with ankle sprain Strawther is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact After not appearing in 16 straight NBA games, Strawther has gotten action in back-to-back matchups, though both games were blowout losses. Jamal Murray (lower leg) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) are both questionable but not expected to play, so if Strawther is also unavailable, Denver's backcourt would be shorthanded.
