Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Probable versus Toronto
Johnson (lower body injury management) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Johnson has already missed three games. However, it doesn't appear he will be sidelined Wednesday versus the Raptors. The 30-year-old veteran hasn't played well throughout the 2026-27 campaign, averaging a career-low 8.0 points along with 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 26.3 minutes per contest in three regular-season appearances.

Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Probable for Wednesday
Diallo (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Diallo played through the wrist issue Monday and logged six minutes off the bench in a 118-110 loss to Portland. He should see a similar workload Wednesday.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Still sidelined
Jones (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Jones is still battling bilateral hamstring problems. He can be considered out indefinitely until the Nuggets offer another update on his recovery.

Nuggets' DaRon Holmes: Team option declined
The Nuggets have declined Holmes' $5.55 million rookie-scale team option for the 2027-28 season, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.
The decision puts Holmes, the 22nd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, on track to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2027. Denver's decision raises questions about the young big man's long-term future with the franchise, though it doesn't immediately affect his role or fantasy outlook for the current campaign.

Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Returns to action
Diallo posted zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound in six minutes during Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Diallo returned to action for the first time since Opening Night. However, he played 22 minutes in his first appearance and only six minutes Monday. As long as Denver's starting unit stays healthy, Diallo will struggle to get consistent playing time.

Nuggets' DeMar DeRozan: Scores nine points
DeRozan posted nine points (3-7 FG, 3-3 FT) and a rebound across 20 minutes in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
DeRozan endured another subpar showing in what has been a disappointing start to the season for the veteran scorer. The lack of playing time has been an issue to open the season, as DeRozan has failed to reach the 25-minute mark in three of his last five appearances, including the last two. That reduction in playing time, as well as his limited role offensively, limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Solid production despite loss Monday
Braun finished with 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Braun delivered efficient scoring while continuing to impact the game defensively, as this was his fifth straight outing with at least two steals. His 36-minute workload reinforced his established role in Denver's starting lineup, although his limited rebounding and playmaking restrict his overall ceiling. Braun's steady playing time and defensive contributions support his fantasy relevance, particularly in category-based formats, even when scoring isn't his strongest suit. That said, he has scored at least 14 points in four of his last five games, so at least he's putting up consistent numbers in that regard as well.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Fills stat sheet in loss Monday
Jokic registered 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, four steals and a block across 35 minutes in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Jokic narrowly missed another triple-double, finishing one rebound and two assists short despite a strong all-around performance. His four steals provided a substantial fantasy boost, helping compensate for relatively inefficient shooting. Jokic remains one of fantasy basketball's most reliable contributors thanks to his exceptional involvement across scoring, rebounding and playmaking, with defensive production offering additional upside. He's averaging 22.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.3 blocks per game to open the season.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Cooks for 35 points in loss
Murray dropped 35 points (10-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
After erupting for 39 points during Friday's 127-120 win against Phoenix, Murray posted game highs with 35 points and four three-pointers while going a pristine 11-for-11 at the charity stripe. Through six regular-season appearances thus far, he's gone for 35-plus in three of them, each coinciding with his ability to drain four or more triples and earn double digit free-throw attempts. Murray's scoring heroics were not enough to get the win, however, but he's clearly found a groove after finishing with six points (2-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and six turnovers in the season-opening loss to the Thunder.

Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Available Monday
Diallo (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Diallo hasn't appeared in a game since the regular-season opener due to a personal issue and a wrist injury, but he's been cleared to suit up Monday. He logged 22 minutes in the opener and could see a similar workload Monday due to Spencer Jones (hamstring) remaining sidelined.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Still out Monday
Jones (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Jones has yet to play during the 2026-27 campaign due to bilateral hamstring issues. He should be considered day-to-day, meaning his next opportunity to get on the floor will come Wednesday versus Toronto.

Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Questionable to play Monday
Diallo (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus Portland.
Diallo made his only appearance of the 2026-27 campaign in the 96-84 Opening Night loss to Oklahoma City. Since then, he has missed the Nuggets' last four games. While the personal issue that contributed to his absence has seemingly been resolved, a right wrist sprain may keep him off the floor for the fifth time this season.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Struggles with shot in victory
Johnson accumulated 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 127-120 victory over the Suns.
Johnson battled through a tough shooting night, going two-of-eight from deep, but came one rebound shy of a double-double. With Julian Srawther out until at least Thanksgiving, Johnson is the frontrunner to hold down a starting role at the wing.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Solid perfornance in win
Gordon notched 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Friday's 127-120 win over the Suns.
Gordon was steady in the victory, and the forward was one of five Nuggets starters to reach double figures. His physicality on both ends remains a key piece of Denver's starting group. He'll look to keep it rolling Monday against the Trail Blazers.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Logs double-double in victory
Jokic posted 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 127-120 win over Phoenix.
Jokic didn't need to carry the scoring load Friday, but he still filled the box score effectively. The three-time MVP shot efficiently and picked up three steals while letting the red-hot Jamal Murray and Christian Braun take over. Denver won consecutive games for the first time this season, and Jokic's playmaking remains the engine of the offense.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Stellar with 31 points
Braun registered 31 points (11-16 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 127-120 win over the Suns.
Braun was on fire in the win, hitting seven of his nine three-point attempts, including all six in the first half. The wing gave Denver a huge second scoring punch alongside Jamal Murray, who had 39, as the Nuggets knocked down 20 threes as a team. Performances like this make Braun an essential part of the starting five, and he'll look to stay hot Monday at home against Portland.
