Aaron Gordon

Gordon recorded eight assists for the second time in five games on Friday, finishing the Nuggets' defeat with a solid stat line. Over the past two weeks, he has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats. On nights when the Nuggets are without Jamal Murray, there's a little more room for Gordon to provide value as a playmaker, with Friday being a prime example. The Nuggets end Week 22 on Sunday against the Pacers.

Gordon (calf/illness) is available for Friday's game against Golden State.

No surprise here as Jokic was listed as probable with an ankle injury. Jokic, Gordon and the rest of the Denver starters missed Wednesday's game after playing a double overtime game against the Timberwolves the night before. Jokic and Gordon could have more playmaking opportunities with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined Friday.

Braun and Gordon were among the many Nuggets that missed Wednesday's game following the double overtime loss to the Timberwolves Tuesday. It appears both will be back in the starting lineup Friday against the Warriors given their probable listings.

Less than 24 hours after losing a double-overtime thriller to the Timberwolves, Denver will play Wednesday's game without its entire starting five. Porter and Gordon's absences free up minutes for Peyton Watson (if he can play) and Hunter Tyson. Watson is a game-time decision due to an inflamed right knee. If cleared, Watson would be the preferred streamer, but Tyson is also worth the risk.
