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.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Erupts for 39 points in win
Murray finished with 39 points (10-18 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 37 minutes in Friday's 127-120 win over Phoenix.
Murray narrowly missed scoring at least 40 points for the second time this season, though it was still a solid all-around effort to lead the Nuggets to a win. The 29-year-old is having an All-Star-caliber season, averaging 25.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists, all career highs, along with 1.2 steals over 38.2 minutes per contest in five regular-season games. He's also shot an efficient 53.5 percent from behind the arc.

Nuggets' Trevon Brazile: Sliding to second unit
Brazile won't start Friday's game against the Suns.
The rookie got the starting nod in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans, but he'll slide back to the second unit Friday with Cameron Johnson (ankle) back in action. Brazile has averaged 9.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks across 21.0 minutes per game in three outings off the bench this season.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Suiting up Friday
Johnson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.
Johnson was deemed likely to play Friday, so it's not surprising to see him suit up after missing the last three games with an ankle sprain. The veteran forward hasn't played since the season-opening loss to the Warriors on Oct. 22, when he had five points in 11 minutes.

Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Ruled out Friday
Diallo (personal/wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Phoenix, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Diallo will miss a fourth consecutive contest while attending to a personal matter. He's also dealing with a right wrist sprain. The 29-year-old's next opportunity to return to action will come Monday against the Trail Blazers.

Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Unlikely to play Friday
Diallo (personal) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Suns.
Diallo is not expected to rejoin the Nuggets in time for Friday's action. Assuming he's eventually ruled out, his next chance to return comes Monday against Portland.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Expected to play Friday
Johnson (ankle) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Suns, per John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
Johnson appears to be primed to end a three-game absence with an ankle sprain. Less playing time should be open to Trevon Brazile and Bryce Hopkins on Friday.

Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Could return Friday
Diallo (personal) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.
Diallo was held out of Wednesday's win over the Pelicans due to personal reasons, and he missed each of the two prior games while nursing a wrist injury. Bryce Hopkins and DeMar DeRozan would continue to see more playing time if Diallo is held out of Friday's contest.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Listed questionable for Friday
Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix.
The fact that Johnson has been upgraded to questionable is a sign he's nearing a return, as he was added to the injury report as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's clash before being downgraded to out ahead of tipoff. He hasn't been able to take the floor since suffering a right ankle sprain Oct. 22 against the Thunder.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Goes for 15 points Wednesday
Braun tallied 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four assists, three steals and a block across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 104-91 win over the Pelicans.
Braun matched his previous season-high scoring mark and also delivered multiple steals for the third straight game. The main issue with Braun early in the season has been a lack of consistency -- he's failed to hit double-digit points in two of his four games, and while he had a strong defensive outing in this one, he also failed to record a single rebound. His playing time and steady role as a starter will give him a decent floor, but the lack of consistency hurts his upside considerably.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Posts double-double Wednesday
Gordon registered 15 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 104-91 win over the Pelicans.
Gordon compensated for a difficult shooting performance by collecting 11 rebounds and converting seven free throws. His double-double was encouraging, particularly after struggling to establish consistent rebounding production earlier in the season. Gordon's ability to contribute on the glass and from the perimeter gives him useful fantasy versatility, although his scoring remains dependent on opportunities alongside Denver's primary offensive options. This was his first double-double of the season and just the second time he scores in double digits, so the next step is to show more consistency on a game-to-game basis.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Leads Nuggets in scoring
Murray posted 23 points (9-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt), a rebound, six assists and two blocks across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 104-91 win over the Pelicans.
Murray led Denver in scoring and extended his impressive start to the season as a reliable go-to scoring threat alongside Nikola Jokic. He was limited to six points in the season-opening loss to the Thunder on Oct. 22, but he's averaged 28.0 points per game while shooting 48.5 percent from three-point range. His six assists and two blocks added valuable fantasy production as well.
