Michael Porter Jr.

With Christian Braun back after a one-game absence, Westbrook returned to playing a role off the bench. However, he was still able to make an impact on this game, especially late in the fourth. He had a big block on Anfernee Simons that set up a dunk for Michael Porter Jr. that gave Denver a late lead. It wasn't enough to help them win, and he wasn't able to put up the same numbers that he did during his recent starts. However, Westbrook is playing far better than he did for either Los Angeles team and will continue to be an important reserve piece for the Nuggets.

LaVine is certainly available, but the price likely would be Michael Porter Jr. and more.

With Christian Braun (back) sidelined, Westbrook will start alongside Murray. This should mean more time off the ball for Jamal, possibly resulting in a more productive night for him as a scorer. Julian Strawther will also have increased fantasy value, but he takes a hit remaining on the bench instead of replacing Braun.

Typical game from MPJ. With Jamal Murray out, the 26-year-old small forward hasn't seen an uptick in usage as Nikola Jokic has gone absolutely nuclear in the last two games. Porter Jr. can provide points, rebounds and 3-pointers, though, and will continue to do so.
