Nuggets' Dario Saric: Remains out for Friday
Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Saric will miss a third consecutive outing while he deals with a sprained left ankle. The big man has fallen out of the rotation as of late, and he was held out of five consecutive games due to coach's decision before picking up the ankle injury.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Probable for Friday
Gordon (calf) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Gordon was able to take the court Sunday after being listed as questionable with the same calf issue, so he looks to be on track to get the green light ahead of tipoff. Denver should have more clarification on his status closer to Friday's matchup.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Probable for Friday vs. LAC
Braun is listed as probable for Friday's matchup against the Clippers due to a right quad contusion.
Braun has yet to miss a game this season and will likely give it a go Friday. The 23-year-old has played well in an increased role thus far, and in his last five outings he has averaged 12.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 53.1 percent from the field across 36.2 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Questionable for Friday
Murray (hamstring) was able to go through portions of Wednesday's practice, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Murray has missed the past two games for Denver due to right hamstring inflammation. Coach Michael Malone said Murray is still limited in what he can do, and noted that the guard will likely be listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers. If Murray is unable to return, Russell Westbrook could draw another start, with Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther possibly seeing an uptick in minutes.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Quiet in win
Gordon logged six points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 win over Atlanta.
After missing Saturday's loss to the Wizards due to injury management, Gordon was quiet for the second leg of this back-to-back set. His minutes were held in check due to the lopsided score, so his fantasy managers can chalk this up as an outlier. Gordon played really well in his previous two outings, averaging 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Well-rounded outing in victory
Braun finished Sunday's 141-111 victory over the Hawks with 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block over 32 minutes.
Braun stuffed the stat sheet while extending his double-digit scoring streak to 22 games this season. The 23-year-old was efficient from the field in the blowout win and tied his season high in rebounds. Braun's availability and productivity have made him a viable fantasy option this season. Through five appearances in December, he has averaged 12.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 53.1 percent from the field in 36.2 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Leads bench in blowout victory
Strawther closed Sunday's 141-111 win over the Hawks with 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes.
Strawther led the bench in scoring while posting his most efficient outing with more than five shot attempts on the season. The 22-year-old forward has provided a valuable spark off the bench this season, and in the club's last two games with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, Strawther has totaled 31 points (12-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks over 55 total minutes.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Bounces back in blowout win
Porter ended with 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 victory over the Hawks.
The 26-year-old delivered a productive performance while amassing the second-highest scoring mark behind Nikola Jokic (48 points). Porter had an extremely efficient bounce-back outing after he struggled in Saturday's loss to the Wizards, during which he totaled only 11 points while shooting 5-for-14 from the field. The forward has shot only 1-for-10 from three-point range over his last two games, though he is still shooting 38.8 percent from downtown across 22 regular-season games.

Jokic followed up a career-high 56 points during Saturday's loss to the Wizards with another stellar performance in Sunday's blowout victory. The three-time MVP logged game highs in both points and rebounds while recording his 16th double-double across 19 regular-season outings. Over his last five appearances, Jokic has averaged 39.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.6 steals while shooting 55.3 from the field in 38.4 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Back to bench
Watson won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
With Aaron Gordon (rest/calf) unavailable Saturday, Watson drew a spot start and finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during a 122-113 loss to the Wizards. Gordon is back in the starting lineup Sunday, so Watson will assume his usual reserve role. Watson has scored in double figures only once across nine appearances as a reserve.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Ready to play Sunday
Strawther (wrist/ankle) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Despite being listed on the injury report with a right wrist sprain and an ankle strain, Strawther has been cleared to play Sunday. The 22-year-old should see ample playing time off the bench with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined. In his last five outings, Strawther has averaged 9.8 points, 1.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 51.4 percent from the field across 19.8 minutes per game.

Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Likely to play Sunday
Strawther is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks due to a right wrist sprain and an ankle strain.
The 22-year-old wing should suit up for Sunday's matchup despite injuries to his wrist and ankle, and with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined again, Strawther will likely see an uptick in playing time. Strawther has yet to miss a contest this season, and in his last five outings, he averaged 9.8 points, 1.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 51.4 percent from the field across 19.8 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Downgraded to questionable Sunday
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Hawks.
Gordon has been downgraded from probable to questionable due to right calf injury management following a multi-week absence due to a right calf strain. Prior to missing the first leg of the back-to-back set in Saturday's loss to the Wizards, the forward played in three consecutive outings (two starts), during which he averaged 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 30.3 minutes per game. If Gordon is sidelined, Peyton Watson and Hunter Tyson are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
