Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Iffy for Wednesday
Hardaway is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to illness management.
Hardaway may need to sit out consecutive games, considering he missed Monday's win over Philadelphia as well. More playing time would become available for Spencer Jones and Bruce Brown on the wing if Hardaway remains out, especially if Christian Braun (ankle) is also downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Questionable with ankle sprain
Braun is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.
Braun recently returned from nearly a two-month absence with the injury, and the Nuggets are continuing to monitor his health. If Braun doesn't gain clearance for action, Bruce Brown and Spencer Jones would be in line for an expanded role, especially with Tim Hardaway is also iffy for Wednesday due to an illness.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable for Wednesday
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Gordon remains day-to-day after getting a maintenance day Monday versus the 76ers. With Gordon out of the lineup Monday, Peyton Watson put on an offensive clinic for Denver, and guys like Hunter Tyson and Spencer Jones saw more reps as well.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Listed as questionable
Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus Boston.
The questionable tag comes as a bit of a surprise, as it was assumed that he was given a maintenance day Monday against the 76ers -- several other Nuggets sat out as well. With Murray's ankle issue still lingering, Jalen Pickett could potentially be asked to step up again after his dominant performance Monday.

Nuggets' DaRon Holmes: Another quiet showing
Holmes provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and four assists over 21 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime victory over the 76ers.
Holmes was soundly outplayed by Zeke Nnaji, who tied a career high with 21 points off the bench Monday. Holmes has mostly squandered the opportunity left behind by Nikola Jokic's (knee) absence so far, averaging 5.5 points, 3.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game in his last four outings (three starts).

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Sees 19 minutes in win
Tyson closed Monday's 125-124 overtime victory over Philadelphia with 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes.
Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, Tim Hardaway and Christian Braun all took the night off for maintenance during the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Tyson to get some rare fun for Denver. He responded with a season-high 14 points, giving the coaching staff something to think about going forward. Tyson has just 13 appearances to his name this season for an average of 5.3 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Erupts for 24 points
Watson registered 24 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 44 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime win over the 76ers.
With Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, Tim Hardaway and Christian Braun all getting the night off for maintenance during the second leg of this back-to-back set, Watson was cast in an unfamiliar role with a ton of usage. He certainly delivered, combining with Jalen Pickett to put up 53 points as the Nuggets shocked the 76ers. Watson is trending up with averages of 23.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers over his last four games.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Scores 21 points in win
Nnaji closed Monday's 125-124 overtime win over the 76ers with 21 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes.
Nnaji matched his career-high mark of 21 points, as he was able to take advantage of some extra minutes with the Nuggets sitting multiple starters for the second leg of this back-to-back set. DaRon Holmes has been pretty underwhelming as Denver's fill-in starter at center, so it will be interesting to see if Nnaji can leapfrog him. If that happens, Nnaji could certainly be an interesting pickup in the short term.

Nuggets' Jalen Pickett: Monster outing in win
Pickett accumulated 29 points (11-20 FG, 7-11 3Pt), five rebounds and seven assists in 42 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime win over Philadelphia.
With Jamal Murray (ankle) getting a maintenance day on the second leg of this back-to-back set, among several other key players, Pickett drew the start and put up quite the performance as the Nuggets pulled out the win. Pickett really struggled in his previous three starts this season, posting averages of 7.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Starting Monday
Brown will start against Philadelphia on Monday.
The Nuggets will be without all five of their Opening Night starters, giving Brown the chance to enter the starting lineup for just the second time this season. The 29-year-old guard last started in a win over Orlando on Dec. 18, during which he recorded 11 points, two rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes.

Nuggets' Jalen Pickett: Back with first unit
Pickett is starting Monday's game against the 76ers.
Pickett will return to the starting lineup to make his third start in four games. The Nuggets have only nine active players Monday, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Pickett to pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Quiet outing in win
Jones closed with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.
The Nuggets are going to be very thin Monday against the 76ers, as Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Jamal Murray and Tim Hardaway are sitting out for maintenance. Jones isn't loaded with upside by any means, but he's likely to see a significant workload against the 76ers.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Sitting due to illness
Hardaway will sit out Monday's game against the 76ers due to illness management.
After logging 34 minutes in Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets and finishing with 26 points, two rebounds and one assist, Hardaway is joining several other teammates on the sideline Monday in what looks to be a maintenance day. Along with Hardaway, the Nuggets have ruled out seven other players for the second leg of the back-to-back set, leaving the team with just nine available players.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Won't play Monday
Gordon is out for Monday's game against the 76ers due to right hamstring injury management.
Gordon's absence comes as little surprise after he made his first appearance since Nov. 21 in Sunday's game against the Nets. He looked sharp in the 127-115 loss, finishing with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes off the bench. Though Gordon will take a seat for the second leg of a back-to-back set, he'll presumably return to action Wednesday in Boston.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Will rest Monday
Braun is out for Monday against the 76ers due to left ankle injury maintenance.
After an extended absence due to a left ankle sprain, Braun made his first appearance since Nov. 12 in Sunday's loss to the Nets, finishing with three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes. The Nuggets will hold him out for the second leg of a back-to-back set as a precaution, however. Expect Braun to return to action Wednesday in Boston.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Won't play Monday
Murray (ankle) won't play Monday against the 76ers.
Murray had been listed as probable due to a left ankle sprain prior to Sunday's game against the Nets, but he proceeded to play through the injury en route to producing 27 points (11-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 assists and six rebounds over 40 minutes in the Nuggets' 127-115 loss. The Nuggets will exercise caution and hold him out Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set, however. With Murray sidelined, the Nuggets could rely heavily on Jalen Pickett out of the backcourt. Murray will likely return to action Wednesday in Boston.
... See More ... See Less -
Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Scoreless in 18 minutes
Brown chipped in zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.
With the Nuggets getting Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon back in the mix, minutes will be harder to come by for Brown. He was already just a deep-league fantasy asset while those two players were out, so his fantasy appeal could be lacking going forward.
