Hyland (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Saturday's 128-108 win over the Hawks.
Hyland had been listed as probable heading into Saturday with a non-COVID-19-related illness, but his lack of playing time for the second game in a row looks to be the result of him moving outside of the rotation rather than the Nuggets having any concern about his health. The second-year guard continues to circulate in trade rumors leading up to the Feb. 9 deadline, and given that he's not currently seeing minutes with the 37-16 Nuggets, a move just about anywhere else would improve his fantasy outlook.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Available vs. Hawks
Rotowire
Hyland (illness) is available for Saturday's tilt against the Hawks, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Hyland's role has diminished significantly since mid-December, and he was a DNP-CD during Thursday's win over the Warriors. Plus, it's been reported the Nuggets are exploring trading him. So, he may not see the floor despite being available.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Probable Saturday

Hyland is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Hawks due to an illness.
Hyland's role has diminished significantly since mid-December, and he was a DNP-CD during Thursday's win over the Warriors. Plus, it's been reported the Nuggets are exploring trading him. So, even if he's cleared Saturday, it's not guaranteed he'll play.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Invisible in win
Rotowire
Hyland ended Tuesday's 122-113 victory over the Pelicans with two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist in five minutes.
Hyland's Tuesday result may be a strong indication of Denver's plans for the upcoming trade deadline, as Jamal Murray's resurgence has made the VCU product's services expendable. Hyland could find himself in a better situation if he is dealt, but it's still too early to consider him as a waiver-wire add if he's available in your league.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Scores 15 points off bench
Rotowire
Hyland chipped in 15 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 107-99 loss to the Bucks.
Hyland reached the 25-minute mark for the first time since late December and took advantage of the opportunity, as he scored in double digits for the first time since Jan. 11. He'd been dealing with some efficiency issues, and his numbers have been affected by that, as Hyland is averaging a mere 10.9 points per game while shooting 41.7 percent from the field in January.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Good to go Wednesday
Rotowire
Hyland (finger) will play Wednesday against the Bucks, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Hyland will return following a one-game absence. He should see plenty of touches Wednesday, as the Nuggets are out four starters. When seeing at least 24 minutes, Hyland has averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Iffy for Wednesday's contest
Rotowire
Hyland (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
A sprained left finger kept Hyland sidelined for the first half of Denver's back-to-back set Tuesday, and the second-year point guard is officially a question mark for Wednesday. He's one of five Nuggets listed as questionable, so Denver may be extremely shorthanded for a matchup against the Bucks, who recently got Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo back from multi-game absences due to knee injuries. If Hyland is ruled out again, his next chance to suit up won't come until Saturday in Philadelphia.

Hyland (finger) will be available for Sunday's game versus Oklahoma City.
Hyland was one of several Nuggets players on the injury report heading into Sunday, but he'll ultimately play through the sprained finger on his left hand that picked up during Friday's win over Indiana. Jamal Murray (hip) is also active for Denver, though Nikola Jokic (hamstring) and Michael Porter (personal) are unavailable, so Hyland could absorb some of the scoring burden.

Hyland (finger) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Thunder.
Hyland exited Friday's win over the Pacers due to a sprained finger, and it's unclear if he'll play Sunday. With Jamal Murray (hip) also questionable, Denver could be thin in the backcourt. That could lead to increased run for Ish Smith.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Injures finger Friday
Rotowire
Hyland left Friday's 134-111 victory over the Pacers early after spraining a finger on his left hand, Nuggets beat writer T.J. McBride reports.
Hyland accumulated five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3PT), two rebounds and one steal across nine minutes prior to exiting the game. The severity of his injury is not known, but his status for Sunday's matchup with the Thunder is now up in the air. Ish Smith would be in line for increased minutes backing up Jamal Murray at point guard if Hyland ultimately has to miss any time.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Unimpactful in victory Tuesday
Rotowire
Hyland ended Tuesday's 122-113 win over Portland with five points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes.
Hyland struggled again in the victory, highlighting just how temperamental his fantasy game can be. He has now scored fewer than eight points in three straight games, resulting in a dip in his playing time. The Nuggets can afford to simply run without him when his shot isn't falling, something that doesn't lend itself to overall fantasy appeal. He can be streamed for scoring, but as we saw in this one, there is an element of risk attached to that move.

Nuggets' Bones Hyland: Goes 5-of-5 from three in win
Rotowire
Hyland contributed 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 victory over the Suns.
Nearly all of Hyland's production came in the first half, where the point guard went 6-of-8 from the field for 17 points, including 5-of-5 from beyond the arc. He attempted only four more shots over the final two quarters as the Nuggets held a comfortable lead, finishing tied with Nikola Jokic with a game-high 21 points on the night. Hyland has broken the 20-point mark eight times this season and is now shooting 47.5 percent from three in the month of January.
