Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Expected to play Monday
Watson is probable for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a right adductor strain.
This is a new injury for the youngster, but it doesn't look like it'll stop him from suiting up. Watson continues to fill in for Aaron Gordon (calf) and is averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 33.0 minutes per game as a starter.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Perfect from field Saturday
Braun chipped in 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 127-102 win over the Lakers.
Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter carried the Nuggets on offense. Still, Braun was highly efficient and made all of his seven shots to keep his streak of double-digit scoring performances alive in all 15 games he's played this season. Braun has scored at least 15 points in four of his last five outings while shooting 62.7 percent from the field in that span, and the young guard continues to deliver impressive offensive results in what has been a breakout year for him in his first season in a starting role.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Comes close to triple-double
Jokic closed Saturday's 127-102 win over the Lakers with 34 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes.
Jokic carried the Nuggets on offense in this huge win over the Lakers, and his playmaking and scoring prowess sparked Denver's impressive second-half comeback. The three-time MVP winner snapped his streak of five consecutive triple-doubles, though he finished just two dimes away from reaching that mark once again. The star big man has been absolutely dominant this season, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 29.8 points, 14.8 rebounds and 12.3 assists per game since the beginning of November.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Goes for 24 points Saturday
Porter supplied 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-102 victory over the Lakers.
Porter was extremely efficient Saturday and was one of the main reasons behind the Nuggets' impressive second-half performance in the win over the Lakers. Even though Porter finished just two points shy of his season-high mark, this was the third time over his last five outings in which he'a scored at least 24 points. The small forward is averaging 20.5 points per game in 11 outings this month.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Breakout campaign continues
Braun supplied 17 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to Dallas.
The third-year wing has scored in double digits in every game so far this season, the only Nugget to do so. Braun is also making an impact on the defensive end, racking up 10 steals over the last four contests, and through 14 appearances he's on pace for a career-best campaign. The Kansas product is averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 threes a game while shooting 55.7 percent from the floor and 44.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Double-double in Friday's loss
Murray amassed 14 points (4-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and three blocks over 39 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to Dallas.
It's the first double-double of the season for Murray. The veteran point guard has also rejected multiple shots in three straight games, and in six contests since returning from a concussion he's averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.5 boards, 3.0 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Triple-double in return
Jokic (personal) recorded 33 points (13-22 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 17 rebounds and 10 assists over 39 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to Dallas.
The perennial MVP candidate missed the prior three games to be with his family as his wife gave birth to their second child, but Jokic didn't miss a beat in his return, producing his fifth straight triple-double and seventh of the season in 11 contests. Friday's game was his first of 2024-25 in which he didn't record a block or a steal, however. Jokic is averaging 30.0 points, 14.0 boards, 11.5 assists, 2.2 three-pointers, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks to begin the season, numbers that would be career highs almost across the board if he can keep them up. He's also shooting an eye-popping 58.5 percent from three-point range.
