Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: To miss time with knee bone bruise
Johnson (knee) is expected to miss "some time," Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After leaving Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks, the forward has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee. The Nuggets begin a seven-game road trip with Saturday's matchup in Orlando following Thursday's home tilt against the Timberwolves, and it's unknown if Johnson will be able to return at some point during that swing. With Johnson likely sidelined for at least Denver's next few contests, both Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown are worthy of roster consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Scores 23 off bench
Hardaway ended with 23 points (8-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks.
Hardaway was lights-out from deep Tuesday, drilling a game-high seven three-pointers in the Nuggets' narrow loss. After scoring just eight points in a spot start Saturday, the veteran has bounced back with consecutive 20-point outings off the bench to open the week. While streakiness has long been part of his profile, Hardaway is shooting better than 40.0 percent from beyond the arc through 29 games this season, a mark he has never sustained over a full campaign.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Double-double in defeat
Jokic registered 29 points (12-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 14 assists, seven rebounds and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks.
Jokic delivered a strong all-around showing Tuesday but fell short of a triple-double and couldn't will the Nuggets to a win. The star center was active from beyond the arc, matching a season high with five made three-pointers. Jokic has tallied 26 double-doubles and 14 triple-doubles on the season, underscoring his continued dominance.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Massive double-double in loss
Murray contributed 31 points (12-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks.
Murray led the Nuggets in scoring Tuesday while notching his fifth double-double of the season, his first since Dec. 5. The outing also marked the guard's fourth 30-point performance over the past seven games. The 28-year-old has been outstanding in the 2025-26 campaign, posting career-best averages in points, rebounds, assists, field-goal percentage and three-point percentage.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Unable to return Tuesday
Johnson sustained a sprained right knee in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette, and did not return.
Johnson landed awkwardly on his right leg and grabbed at his knee before limping to the locker room with 9:18 remaining in the final quarter. He was deemed questionable to return but never checked back in, finishing with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 24 minutes. The Nuggets are expected to provide an update on his status for Thursday's matchup against Minnesota by Wednesday night.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Questionable to return Tuesday
Johnson is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a right knee sprain, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Johnson went to the locker room early in the fourth quarter after sustaining a knee injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be brought back to Tuesday's game. Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway are poised for larger roles down the stretch if Johnson is not cleared to return.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Leaves for locker room
Johnson exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right knee injury in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Johnson landed awkwardly on his right leg and stayed down for an extended period. He grabbed at his knee before limping to the locker room with 9:18 remaining in the final frame. If the 29-year-old swingman is unable to return, Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Cleared to play Tuesday
Valanciunas (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Dallas.
Valanciunas has been battling through an illness over the last couple of days, but it hasn't prevented the veteran center from playing. He has served as the primary backup center behind Nikola Jokic, and the former is averaging 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 13.0 minutes per game in his first season in Denver.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Good to go vs. Dallas
Watson (lower body) is available for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Watson has been cleared to play in a second consecutive game while managing a right trunk contusion. The third-year forward has been a permanent member in the Nuggets' starting lineup since Nov. 15, and over his last 15 outings he has averaged 14.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.1 blocks over 30.1 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Team-high 27 points Monday
Murray notched 27 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 135-112 victory over the Jazz.
Murray led the Nuggets in scoring Monday, draining at least six triples for the fourth time this season. The star guard is churning out early-round fantasy numbers, having averaged 25.8 points, 7.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 35.4 minutes per contest in his last 19 games.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Probable for Tuesday
Watson is probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks with a right trunk contusion.
Watson was able to play through this injury Monday against the Jazz, finishing with 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes. For now, the Nuggets expect him to push through the pain once again.

Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Probable against Dallas
Valanciunas is probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks with an illness.
The 37-year-old center ultimately shed a probable tag ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz and is likely to do the same Tuesday. Valanciunas has averaged 9.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes per contest through nine games this month.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Quiet in starting lineup
Jones closed Monday's 135-112 win over the Jazz with three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes.
Although he continues to start, Jones has been pretty underwhelming in terms of fantasy appeal. Over his last five games, he's averaging 6.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 25.9 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' DaRon Holmes: Recalled to NBA
Denver recalled Holmes from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Tuesday.
Holmes has appeared on an NBA court for just four total minutes this season and likely won't play Tuesday even though he has been recalled. Denver will continue to have Holmes split time with their G League affiliate.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Serviceable again in win
Brown produced 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 135-112 win over the Jazz.
Brown tallied double-digit points for the third straight game, continuing to play a meaningful role off the bench. During that time, he has averaged 12.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 29.8 minutes per game, good enough for top-80 value in standard leagues. His ability to chip in across multiple categories makes him a viable target, even more so for anyone punting points. With that said, his upside remains limited, while his value likely has a shelf life that's tied in to Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) eventually returning to action.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Muted role continues
Strawther registered zero points (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Monday's 135-112 win over Utah.
Strawther continues to work his way back from injury, albeit very, very slowly. In three games since returning, Strawther has scored a total of four points, serving as nothing more than a depth piece. Although his role could increase at some point, it is unlikely he will see enough playing time to make him a viable fantasy asset outside of deeper formats.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Strong performance in return
Watson closed Monday's 135-112 victory over Utah with 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes.
Watson returned to action after missing the past two games due to a trunk injury. In what was clearly a favorable matchup, Watson delivered an efficient 20 points, continuing his breakout season. Both Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) remain sidelined, making Watson an intriguing addition to any standard league roster.
