In addition to Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets will be without Nikola Jokic (personal reasons) in New Orleans. As a result, Saric moves into the starting lineup, and he has a shot at fantasy relevance due to Denver's lack of depth.
Scotty Pippen Jr., Jose Alvarado, and Peyton Watson are among the low-rostered players fantasy managers should target ahead of Week 4.

The Nuggets are without Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, with the latter suffering a calf strain expected to sideline him for weeks. Westbrook will again fill in for Murray, while Watson makes his first start of the season as Gordon's replacement. Watson is worth streaming until Gordon is cleared to return.
Aaron Gordon is set to miss 2-4 weeks with a calf strain, and Watson got the start in his place in this game. It wasn't a spectacular first day, but it should be his job for a few weeks. He came up with a big block on a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander layup attempt on the final play that sealed the win for Denver, which came right after he missed two free throws that would've put the game away. He showed great resilience on that play, and he should continue to provide defensive numbers in an increased role for the next few weeks.
