Michael Porter Jr.

The Nuggets remain without Jamal Murray (hamstring), but it won't be Peyton Watson or Russell Westbrook who replaces him in Sunday's lineup. Pickett has received the nod in a change that gives him some fantasy relevance in deep leagues. Denver's other four starters are unchanged.

Porter has scored 20 points or more in three straight games for the first time since early February. However, despite the recent decrease in scoring, he has still provided top-50 value over the past month. Porter's efficiency has been a factor, as he has shot 49.7 percent from the field and averaged 17.4 points per game. Based on his Yahoo! ADP (73), fantasy managers expected Porter to be a top-75 player, and that has been the case. He'll look to end Week 22 on a high note when the Nuggets host the Pacers on Sunday.

Following a two-game absence, MPJ will be back in the lineup. Denver was without all five starters against San Antonio on Wednesday, but they should be back at full strength against Golden State, with only Jamal Murray listed as questionable.

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.

Gordon did some heavy lifting his last time out by scoring 30 points in 47 minutes while MPJ missed the contest for personal reasons. Peyton Watson could take advantage of Denver being short on lengthy wings, though he is also questionable due to right knee inflammation. There are too many unknowns at this point to know what the Nuggets' rotation will look like against San Antonio.
