Top Nuggets News

  • Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Dealing with low back pain

    Nnaji is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to low back pain.

    Nnaji has appeared in 16 straight games, averaging 10.9 minutes during that stretch. If he's sidelined Tuesday, Peyton Watson and DeAndre Jordan would be candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench.

  • Nuggets' Jalen Pickett: Recalled ahead of Sunday's game

    Denver recalled Pickett from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday.

    Pickett and Hunter Tyson were active for Sunday's loss to the Mavericks but didn't see any playing time. After appearing in four straight NBA games to end February, Pickett has played in just one of Denver's first eight March contests.

  • Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Elevated for Sunday's game

    Denver recalled Tyson from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday.

    Tyson and Jalen Pickett were available for Sunday's loss to the Mavericks, but neither saw playing time. Tyson has made just one NBA appearance in March, totaling three points and a rebound in a one-minute, garbage-time appearance during a blowout win over Utah.

  • Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Comes close to triple-double

    Jokic totaled 16 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks.

    Jokic finished just three assists away from recording what would've been his 22nd triple-double of the season, though to be fair, Jokic's shot was particularly off Sunday. However, if an "off game" means he'll still sniff a triple-double, fantasy managers don't need to be too concerned. Jokic is averaging 26.5 points, 11.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game since the beginning of March.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Strong two-way play Sunday

    Porter ended Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 37 minutes.

    Porter is having an outstanding year as a secondary offensive alternative in Denver's two-man game of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray but has been able to step up when needed. Porter has scored 20 or more points in four of his eight March appearances, averaging 18.8 points per game while shooting 47.3 percent from three-point range. He complements that scoring prowess with decent numbers in other categories, making him a valuable asset in fantasy and real life.

  • Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Scores 23 points in tight loss

    Murray closed with 23 points (7-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Mavericks.

    Murray has been on an absolute tear this month, reaching the 15-point mark in all but one of his eight appearances and posting three double-doubles in that span. Murray is averaging 23.3 points and 8.4 assists per game since the beginning of March, and the star floor general seems to be gearing up to be at his best once the regular season ends.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Keeps firing from downtown

    Porter contributed 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 117-106 win over the Spurs.

    Porter didn't have his best performance from a fantasy perspective, as he's shown the ability to fill the stat sheet in any given game, but he's been consistent when it comes to his three-point shooting. He's made multiple threes in all but two of his 12 appearances since the end of the All-Star break, a span in which he's averaging 19.9 points per game while shooting 42.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Sniffs triple-double Friday

    Murray amassed 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and four steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 117-106 win over the Spurs.

    Murray didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 16 shots to record 15 points. However, the star floor general still salvaged his fantasy line by ending two assists away from recording a triple-double. Murray is averaging 22.8 points, 7.2 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

  • Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Puts up 31 points vs. San Antonio

    Jokic logged 31 points (13-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Friday's 117-106 victory over the Spurs.

    Jokic didn't come close to a triple-double in this game, and he had to deal with the length of Victor Wembanyama most of the game, but the two-time MVP winner showed his versatility on offense to still find a way to reach the 30-point mark. Jokic has scored 30 or more points in three of his last five games, a span in which he's averaging 27.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.0 steals per game.
