Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Trending up for Denver
Watson had nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 win over the Rockets.
Watson is trending in the right direction for Denver and is worth a look as a pickup in deeper fantasy leagues. Outside of a poor free-throw percentage lately, Watson has been solid over his last four games. In that span, he produced averages of 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers on 51.4 percent shooting from the field in 27.1 minutes. His minutes will likely remain healthy as long as Nikola Jokic (ankle) is still sidelined.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Pouts in 39 points in win
Murray accumulated 39 points (15-28 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 win over the Rockets.
Murray, who has been dealing with a right ankle sprain, was able to make his second straight appearance Sunday. Nikola Jokic (ankle) is still sidelined, however, allowing Murray to soak up some additional usage. Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, but there's been no mention of a possible maintenance day for Murray just yet.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Makes most of start
Jordan finished Sunday's 116-111 win over Houston with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
With Nikola Jokic (ankle) still sidelined, Jordan started at center Sunday, pushing Russell Westbrook to the second unit. According to coach Michael Malone, Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but he's expected back at some point during the team's five-game homestand. If Jordan remains in the starting lineup, he'll be worth a look as a streamer after his eruption Sunday night.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Unlikely against Chicago
Head coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but he will play at some point during the team's five-game homestand, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Jokic has missed the last four games due to a left ankle issue, but he will be returning to the lineup at some point during the team's homestand, which begins Monday against the Bulls and concludes April 2 against San Antonio. Coach Malone's comments make it seem unlikely that Jokic will suit up Monday, so he could be aiming for a return Wednesday against the Bucks. In the meantime, Jamal Murray will likely carry the load offensively, with Aaron Gordon also getting extra looks, and DeAndre Jordan figures to continue seeing increased run at the center position.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting sans Jokic
Jordan will start in Sunday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Aaron Gordon has been serving as the club's starting center due to Nikola Jokic (ankle) being sidelined, though Jordan will suit up for the first time since March 2, pushing Russell Westbrook to the bench. Jordan made two starts during January, accumulating 12 points, 17 rebounds, three blocks, three steals and two assists across 46 total minutes.

Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Slotted to bench
Westbrook will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Westbrook will move to the bench Sunday after starting the last four games, and he'll be replaced by veteran big man DeAndre Jordan in the first unit. In his last three games in a reserve role, Westbrook has averaged 11.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 28.3 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Good to go vs. Houston
Braun (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
As expected, Braun will shake off a probable tag Sunday due to a strained left foot. The 23-year-old shooting guard has missed only one game in March, during which he has averaged 15.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steals across 35.5 minutes per game over 10 outings.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Available Sunday
Murray (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Murray has been dealing with a right ankle sprain of late, but he will be able to make a second straight appearance Sunday. The 28-year-old pro has averaged 18.0 points, 5.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 36.5 minutes per game over his last four contests.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Cleared to suit up Sunday
Gordon (ankle/calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
As expected, Gordon will shake off a probable tag due to right calf injury management and a lingering left ankle sprain. The 29-year-old forward will likely continue to draw the start at center due to Nikola Jokic (ankle) being sidelined. Gordon has played in four of the club's last five games, averaging 26.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers and 2.8 assists across 32.5 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Probable for Sunday
Gordon (calf/ankle) has been listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Gordon has had to shoulder the load in the paint for Denver with Nikola Jokic (ankle) on the mend. Over the last three games, the veteran big man has averaged 29.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 61.7 percent from the floor and 55.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Likely to play Sunday
Braun is probable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a left foot strain.
Even though Braun has landed on the injury report once again, the probable tag suggests he should play and handle something close to his regular workload. Braun has started in each of his last 22 appearances, averaging 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game over that stretch.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Likely to play vs. Houston
Murray (ankle) has been listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Murray has missed two of the last three games for Denver due to a sprained right ankle, but that likely won't keep him off the court to take on the Rockets on Sunday. The veteran guard is averaging a career-high 21.3 points per game this season, and the Nuggets will need that production with Nikola Jokic (ankle) set to miss this game in Houston.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Remains out for Sunday
Jokic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Jokic will miss a fourth straight game for the Nuggets while nursing a left ankle issue. With the superstar big man still on the mend, Denver will likely continue to lean on Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Hits for 18 in Portland
Westbrook accumulated 18 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 128-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The veteran guard added to an impressively consistent March that has seen him score in double digits in 10 of 11 games (eight starts) while recording at least one steal in nine of 11. On the month, Westbrook is averaging 15.5 points, 6.6 assists, 5.5 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.6 steals in 32.7 minutes a contest. That elevated workload could be scaled back if Julian Strawther (knee) is able to return before the end of the regular season, but time is running out for the second-year wing to get back into the rotation.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Supplies team-high 23 in loss
Gordon ended with 23 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Friday's 128-109 loss to Portland.
With Nikola Jokic (ankle) still sidelined, Gordon led the Nuggets in scoring while putting together his busiest performance of the season from the free-throw line. The 29-year-old forward has topped 20 points in all three games Jokic has missed so far, averaging 29.0 points, 6.7 boards, 3.3 threes and 2.3 assists during the big man's absence while shooting 61.7 percent from the floor and going 10-for-18 (55.6 percent) from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Returning to bench
Watson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
The Nuggets will have Jamal Murray (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (ankle/calf) back in the first unit, so Watson will return to the bench while Russell Westbrook will slot alongside Murray in the backcourt. Due to his second-unit role, Watson's upside should be reduced considerably for this matchup.
