Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Probable vs. 76ers
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope (wrist) is probable for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers.
Caldwell-Pope should be back in the fold following a one-game absence, though fantasy managers need to keep an eye out for the statuses of Jamal Murray (hip) and Bruce Brown (knee), who are both questionable. In January, KCP is averaging 10.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.3 minutes.

Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Delivers full line Tuesday
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope amassed seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 99-98 victory over the Pelicans.
Caldwell-Pope did a bit of everything in the victory, chipping in across the board. While he ticked every box when it came to statistical variance, his volume left a bit to be desired. Caldwell-Pope continues to put up backend 12-team value, although he is certainly not a must-roster player. He is fine to roster if you simply need a plug-and-play guy who has a consistent role, although streaming his spot is also a viable option.

Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Raking in steals
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope finished with nine points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three assists, three steals, one rebound and one block across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 122-113 win over the Trail Blazers.
Caldwell-Pope has notched multiple steals in four straight games and has blocked one shot in three straight contests. While the defensive production is a welcome sight, Caldwell-Pope's scoring output is almost always tied to him knocking down three-point shots. He came up empty from downtown Tuesday, making it unsurprising that he finished with a single-digit scoring total for the first time in six games.

Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Scores 15 in first half
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 victory over the Suns.
Caldwell-Pope was highly efficient in the first half, going 5-of-6 from the field with 15 points while also knocking down all four of his shots from beyond the arc. However, the shooting guard failed to connect on his only shot attempt in the second half while adding three rebounds, one assist and a steal. He's now scored in double figures in four of his last five contests and has shot 52.3 percent from three over that stretch.
Caldwell-Pope provided 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 121-108 win over Cleveland.
Caldwell-Pope scored in double-digits for just the third time in his past six games, adding very little tangible production. While technically a viable commodity in 12-team leagues, Caldwell-Pope is not someone who needs to be rostered. He sits just inside the top 110 for the season, although mostof his value hinges on low turnovers and decent percentages.

The Nuggets couldn't have asked for much more out of Caldwell-Pope on Friday as the shooting guard made all seven of his shot attempts in the contest for a team-high 20 points. Caldwell-Pope scored nine points in the first half and 11 in the second half while knocking down four threes for just the fourth time in his 2022-23 campaign. It was also just his third time reaching the 20-point mark.

Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Posts 20-point effort in victory
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope produced 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five assists and four rebounds over 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-115 victory over Charlotte.
Caldwell-Pope topped 20 points for just the second time this season, a welcome sight for anyone who has sat through his recent struggles. Despite being a regular in the starting five, Caldwell-Pope has ranked outside the top 150 in nine-category leagues on a per-game basis over the past month. The bulk of his value comes from low turnovers and a sprinkling of three-pointers, categories that can both be streamed with relative ease.

Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Likely to play versus Portland
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope (right wrist sprain) is probable to play in Thursday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
Caldwell-Pope was questionable to play Tuesday due to his wrist injury before ultimately taking the court, so an upgrade to probable certainly bodes well. The veteran guard is averaging 11.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.1 minutes across 23 games this season.

Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Quiet in win Monday
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope registered eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Monday's 129-113 victory over the Rockets.
Caldwell-Pope stumbled again in the win, continuing what has been a downward trend over the past two weeks. During that time, he is well outside the top 150, thanks primarily to his steal numbers falling from 1.2 per game to 0.6. As a player with very little upside, Caldwell-Pope has no margin for error when it comes to overall fantasy value. He remains a 12-team option but could end up on waivers across a few leagues should his current trajectory continue.

Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope produced 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 115-109 win over San Antonio.
Caldwell-Pope cobbled together another serviceable performance Monday, continuing what has been an encouraging start to the season. He currently sits just outside the top 60 in standard leagues, despite scoring just 11.3 points per game. His value is primarily tied to his defensive production, sitting at 1.6 steals per contest. While the upside is limited, he is doing enough to warrant a roster spot across all formats.
