Russell Westbrook

Gordon has missed Denver's last two games, but he could return to the lineup on Wednesday. Russell Westbrook has played well as a starter in place of Gordon, but he would likely return to the bench if Gordon is available on Friday.

Initially probable for Wednesday's game, Jokic and Murray are available to play. They'll occupy their usual places in the Nuggets starting lineup alongside Russell Westbrook, Christian Braun and Michael Porter Jr.

Wednesday's game will be the second Gordon has missed with ankle and calf injuries. Russell Westbrook will remain in the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. He should already be rostered in standard leagues.

Gordon is expected to miss a second-straight game due to an ankle injury that he suffered on Sunday, though he also is still nursing the calf injury that forced him to miss a lot of time earlier this season. Russell Westbrook should get another start in his place.

With Aaron Gordon sidelined, Westbrook will make a return to the starting lineup. In his most recent start, Westbrook contributed 25 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and four three-pointers in 35 minutes.
