Injured Nikola Jokic Won't Suit Up On Friday Versus ClippersDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) has been officially ruled out on Friday due to a right wrist issue. The injury doesn't seem to be serious as it's listed as injury management, so it sounds like more of a rest day. Either way, the Nuggets will have to fill his minutes with some sort of combination of DeAndre Jordan, Vlatko Cancar, and even Zeke Nnaji. Cancar would probably be the safest streaming option of the three since he's already getting some steady minutes.

Injured Jamal Murray Probable For FridayDenver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Cleveland. He has returned from a bad knee injury and the team has managed his workload carefully, with Murray not yet playing both games of a back-to-back this season. However, it appears that this will change with Friday's matchup after Murray enjoyed an easy 21-minute night against the Clippers on Thursday in a blowout win. Murray did some very efficient scoring Thursday, getting 18 points with only 10 attempts from the field, and will look to do so again against a weakened Cavaliers backcourt that will be missing Donovan Mitchell (rest).

Injured Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon Questionable For Friday’s GameDenver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) and power forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) have been tagged as questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Miami. Murray sat out the second leg of a back-to-back earlier this week as the team continues to monitor his injury progress after missing all of last year; Gordon has missed the prior two outings due to a strained right shoulder, which has paved the way for Zeke Nnaji to join the starting five. Bones Hyland would be in line for added usage should Murray be held out again, while Nnaji, Vlatko Cancar and Christian Braun would all figure to get roll-of-the-dice DFS appeal if Gordon misses another outing.

Injured Bruce Brown To Miss Wednesday's GameDenver Nuggets guard Bruce Brown (ankle) will be sidelined for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is not good news for the Nuggets with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon already sidelined. The Nuggets will be forced to move Bones Hyland into the starting five on Wednesday. He certainly has the potential to do damage, so he could be a sneaky streaming option here. He averaged 13.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists during his rookie campaign.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) will be sidelined for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The 27-year-old will sit this game out due to a right shoulder strain. Zeke Nnaji will draw his second straight start with Gordon on the sideline for Wednesday's contest. He wasn't too sharp during his last time out, so Vlatko Cancar is the better streaming option between the players for this game.

Injured Jeff Green Ruled Out For Four WeeksDenver Nuggets forward/center Jeff Green will be re-evaluated in four weeks after he sustained a left finger sprain and hand fracture Friday against Portland. Green isn't much of a fantasy factor these days anymore, but he's been an important member of the bench unit for Denver, and losing him is a blow for the team. The veteran is averaging 7.5 points per game for the year with 2.8 rebounds in 19.3 minutes of action. Zeke Nnaji is in line to take care of most of the available minutes, and he could have some fantasy appeal if he can carve out a regular role.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) and small forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) have been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Portland. Murray was held out of Tuesday's game as he works his way back from a knee injury that cost him all of last season, while Porter looks to suit up for the first time since Nov. 22. Christian Braun made his first NBA start in place of Murray and would figure to be an upside DFS play again should the 25-year-old remain sidelined. Bruce Brown has seen his role expand in the month that Porter has been unavailable, although the 24-year-old will likely be eased back into the rotation whenever he is officially given the green light to return. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Denver's final injury report.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been given the questionable tag for Tuesday night's game due to injury management for his left knee. The 25-year-old hasn't had a day off since before Thanksgiving, and it seems as though the team is going to play it by ear to see if he might need a rest day. He's been averaging around 32 minutes per game lately and boasts a solid 19.3 points and 6.3 assists per game stat line. If he can't suit up, Bones Hyland would be a very promising streaming option.

Injured Michael Porter Jr. Remains Out On FridayDenver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) will miss an 11th consecutive game Friday against the Lakers. The 24-year-old continues to work his way back from a left heel strain. Bruce Brown has played a very active role in Porter Jr.'s absence and should continue to do so Friday as well. As a very versatile player, Brown can help fantasy teams in many ways, and he should be guaranteed to get a massive workload against a desperate Lakers team.

Denver Nuggets small forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) was able to shoot and do light work during Monday's practice, per Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post, but he will miss Wednesday's contest against Washington, marking a 10th consecutive absence. Bruce Brown has primarily taken over Porter's role on the wing and among the starting five, giving him some short-term season-long value as he has averaged 12.6 points per game across an average of 33 minutes per night as a starter. Porter has impressed offensively when available this year, particularly from behind the arc, as he has knocked down 2.9 threes per game while shooting at a 42.7 percent clip from deep. With Denver mum about when a potential return could come, fantasy managers will want to check back for word as it becomes available.
