Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Will miss regular-season finale
Watson (hamstring) will miss Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Watson is considered week-to-week due to right hamstring tightness, so it's not surprising to see him sit out the final game of the regular season. He will finish the regular season with averages of 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while starting 40 of his 54 appearances. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for the start of the playoffs.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Considered week-to-week
Watson (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
This is a tough blow for Denver after Watson suffered the setback during Wednesday's win over the Jazz. With the playoffs quickly approaching, the Nuggets are likely to tread carefully. In the meantime, Cameron Johnson and Julian Strawther are likely to be more involved for Denver.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Doesn't return Wednesday
Watson exited Wednesday's 130-117 win over the Jazz in the second quarter and did not return due to right hamstring tightness, finishing with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds across nine minutes.
Watson checked out with 7:03 remaining in the first half and never checked back in. The fourth-year forward recently missed 19 straight games due to a right hamstring strain, so the team may have been exercising caution with him. Watson's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Spurs.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Questionable to return vs. Jazz
Watson is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to right hamstring tightness.
Watson logged just over nine minutes in the first half before checking out with 7:03 remaining in the second quarter. If he's unable to return, he'll finish with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Won't start Wednesday
Watson won't start Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
With Aaron Gordon (calf) back in the lineup after a one-game absence, Watson will retreat to the second unit. The fourth-year forward has averaged 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest over his last three appearances off the bench.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Starting Sunday
Watson will start Sunday versus the Warriors.
Watson is getting the spot-start with Aaron Gordon (calf) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson and Nikola Jokic. As a starter this season, Watson owns averages of 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 triples, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per contest.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Pops for 21 points in win
Watson produced 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 142-135 victory over Dallas.
Watson found some rhythm on the offensive end, scoring 21 points in what was just his second game back since returning from a hamstring injury. While the scoring was impressive, he was limited to just 23 minutes and failed to record a defensive stat for the second straight game. Given the likely limitations, Watson is a borderline asset right now, depending on your league format and season-end date.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Will play Wednesday
Watson (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Watson will shed a questionable tag in time to face Dallas, marking his return from a one-game absence due to a strained right hamstring. The 23-year-old forward has appeared in just one game following his 19-game absence, so it's likely he'll play limited minutes off the bench once again.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Questionable for Wednesday
Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
After missing the front end of this back-to-back set Tuesday against the Suns, Watson is not a lock to play Wednesday. If he's held out once again, the Nuggets will likely lean on Tim Hardaway and Spencer Jones.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Ruled out for Tuesday
Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Watson will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set following his return from a 19-game absence due to a strained right hamstring. With the 23-year-old forward out, Spencer Jones and Tim Hardaway are candidates to see increased playing time.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Scores 14 points in return
Watson (hamstring) accumulated 14 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-112 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Watson brought some gritty energy to the second unit, and he was moving around great in his first game back following a seven-week absence. That said, the Nuggets open Week 22 with a Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back set, so managers will need to be on alert for a potential maintenance day.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Officially active Sunday
Watson is officially active for Sunday's game against Portland.
Watson was already expected to be available after missing over seven weeks because of a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old will operate under a minutes restriction, according to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, so it's unknown how much he'll impact things on both ends of the floor.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Facing minutes restriction Sunday
Watson (hamstring) will operate on a minutes restriction in Sunday's game against Portland, according to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post.
Watson is still officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, but according to a recent report from Shams Charania of ESPN, he's expected to suit up. The 23-year-old was enjoying a career-best season prior to his injury, and considering he's been sidelined since Feb. 7, he's likely to operate under a minutes restriction.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Officially listed as questionable
Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Portland.
A previous report from Shams Charania of ESPN noted Watson is expected to be available for Sunday's contest, but the 23-year-old forward has been officially labeled questionable. Still, fantasy managers should plan for Watson making his return from a 19-game absence. Given the lengthy layoff, Watson could be under a minutes restriction Sunday.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Slated to return Sunday
Watson (hamstring) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Watson has not played since Feb. 4 due to a right hamstring strain, but it appears the fourth-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return for the Nuggets on Sunday. He'll likely operate under a minutes restriction, and his return would mean that less bench minutes would be available for the likes of Tim Hardaway and Julian Strawther. Prior to his injury, Watson was averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals over 30.7 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Remains out for Friday
Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Toronto.
Watson hasn't played since Feb. 4 due to a right hamstring strain. While he'll miss a 19th consecutive contest Friday, the Nuggets are hopeful that the fourth-year forward will return to the hardwood in the near future. Spencer Jones will likely continue to see increased burn for as long as Watson is sidelined. His next chance to return will come Sunday against Portland.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Ruled out Wednesday
Watson (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Although Watson will miss an 18th straight contest due to a right hamstring strain, it sounds like he's on the cusp of making his return to the floor. The Nuggets expressed optimism Monday that Watson would play at some point this week, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette, so the forward will next set his sights toward Friday's tilt against Toronto as a possible return date.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Remaining out Tuesday
Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Watson will miss a 17th consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain, but he's closing in on a return. According to Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette, Watson was able to take part in 3-on-3 work after Monday's practice, and head coach David Adelman suggested afterward that he's optimistic that the fourth-year forward will be back in action by the end of the week. With that in mind, Watson will likely remain out for the second leg of the Nuggets' back-to-back set Wednesday in Memphis, but Friday's game against the Raptors may be a more realistic target for his return.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Targeting return this week
The Nuggets remain hopeful that Watson (hamstring) will be able to play at some point this week, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Benedetto notes that it's unlikely Watson will play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers or Wednesday's tilt versus the Grizzlies, which would make Friday's matchup against the Raptors the next most realistic return date for the forward. Until Watson is cleared to return from a hamstring strain, Tim Hardaway remains worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Could return next week
Nuggets head coach David Adelman said Wednesday that Watson (hamstring) could be cleared to return to action at some point next week, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Given Adelman's comments, Watson -- who had already been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Houston -- will likely be sidelined for at least two more games beyond that. According to Adelman, Watson has healed from the right hamstring strain that has kept him out of action since Feb. 7, and the forward's next step is to get reconditioned. Watson had been in the midst of a breakout season prior to getting hurt, appearing in 49 games and shooting 49.6 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from downtown while averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 triples, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 30.7 minutes.
