Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Decent line off bench
RotowireBrown closed Wednesday's 122-116 victory over the Grizzlies with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes.
This was a solid showing for Brown, but even with so many injuries in Denver, he's yet to break through with consistent fantasy output. Over his last eight appearances, he's seen 28.4 minutes per contest with 8.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

RotowireHardaway posted 21 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Grizzlies.
Hardaway is in the midst of a solid string of performances heading into the All-Star break. Over the past four games, he's averaged 18.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists. His scoring and rebounding averages during the stint are well above his seasonal averages in those categories. Absences from Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) are probable reasons for the boost.

RotowireMurray finished Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Grizzlies with 23 points (7-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one block in 33 minutes.
Murray has been dealing with a hip injury over the past week, but he's cobbled together excellent performances despite the limitations. The veteran is playing at a high level heading into the All-Star break, averaging 25.2 points, 9.2 assists and 4.7 rebounds over six games in February.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Jalen Pickett: Leaves early Wednesday
RotowirePickett (knee) didn't return to Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Grizzlies after checking out of the game with 6:36 remaining in the second quarter. He finished the game with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across nine minutes.
TheNuggets labeled Pickett as questionable to return to the contest due to right knee soreness, but he didn't end up checking into the game at any point in the second half. He'll have the All-Star break to rest up and recover before Denver's next game Feb. 19 against the Clippers. The Nuggets could get Spencer Jones (concussion) back from a three-game absence coming out of the break, which might result in Pickett losing his spot in head coach David Adelman's rotation.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Jalen Pickett: Questionable to return
RotowirePickett is considered questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Memphis due to right knee soreness.
Pickett picked up a seemingly minor knee injury during Wednesday's game, and the issue could prevent him from returning. While Pickett is sidelined, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway could pick up more minutes.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Jamal Murray: Will play Wednesday
RotowireMurray (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Murray will shed his probable tag due to left hip inflammation and play in Denver's final game before the All-Star break. Over five February appearances, the star point guard has averaged 25.6 points, 9.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 37.4 minutes per contest.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Christian Braun: Officially in
RotowireBraun (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Braun will shed a probable tag in time to suit up Wednesday. He's fresh off his third 20-point game of the season, as he logged 20 points, five rebounds and two assists in Monday's loss to Cleveland.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Nikola Jokic: Good to go Wednesday
RotowireJokic (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
As expected, Jokic will shed his probable tag due to a left ankle sprain and suit up in Denver's final game before the All-Star break. The superstar has appeared in each of theNuggets' last six games, averaging 24.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 33.0 minutes per game over that stretch.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Spencer Jones: Out Wednesday
RotowireJones (concussion) won't play Wednesday against the Grizzlies, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Jones is in the final stages of the league's concussion protocol, so while he won't be available for Wednesday's game, there's a reasonable chance he'll be cleared for Denver's first match after the All-Star break Feb. 19 against the Clippers. Julian Strawther has been the primary beneficiary with Jones sidelined.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Christian Braun: Expected to play vs. Grizzlies
RotowireBraun is probable for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a left ankle sprain.
Braun also carried a probable designation leading up to Monday's game against the Cavs and was ultimately able to suit up, so he'll presumably have a good chance to take the court Wednesday in his team's final game before the All-Star break. Braun is averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in four showings since returning from a 12-game absence due to the ankle injury.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Spencer Jones: Tabbed questionable
RotowireJones (concussion) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Jones has missed back-to-back games due to a concussion, but he has a chance to return Wednesday night. Julian Strawther has filled in for Jones in the starting lineup and would likely do so again if Jones can't play Wednesday.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Nikola Jokic: Likely to play Wednesday
RotowireJokic (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Jokic has been a regular on the injury report of late due to a left ankle sprain, though he's expected to suit up for a seventh straight game. The three-time MVP has racked up three consecutive triple-doubles, averaging 24.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 12.7 assists and 2.7 combined steals-plus-blocks per game during that stretch.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Jamal Murray: Still dealing with hip issue
RotowireMurray is probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to left hip inflammation.
Murray picked up a hip injury during Saturday's win over the Bulls, but it hasn't forced him to miss any additional action thus far. He should have a good chance to suit up Wednesday after being tagged as probable.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Christian Braun: Logs second-highest total of season
RotowireBraun amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 119-117 loss to Cleveland.
Braun got his stat line to acceptable levels after struggling through his first three appearances following a 12-game absence. He's showing no ill effects from the ankle injury that sidelined him, and Monday's effort was a positive indicator that he'll return to his usual level of production heading into the All-Star break.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Julian Strawther: Logs 20 points in second start
RotowireStrawther closed Monday's 119-117 loss to the Cavaliers with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and six rebounds over 29 minutes.
Strawther put together another solid number in his second start of the season. He's coming in handy as a placeholder amid absences from Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (concussion). Jones may return before the All-Star break, which may send Strawther back to the bench.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Nikola Jokic: Logs third straight triple-double
RotowireJokic had 22 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 119-117 loss to Cleveland.
Jokic is still playing through a recent ankle injury, but he's still averaging 24.2 points, 12.7 rebounds and 9.2 assists since returning from a 17-game absence due to a knee issue. The All-Star lacks the support of Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) for at least a few more weeks, requiring Jokic to carry a heavy load in the frontcourt.
... See More... See LessNuggets' Nikola Jokic: Collects another triple-double
RotowireJokic contributed 22 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 119-117 loss to Cleveland.
Jokic posted yet another strong all-around performance, resulting in his third consecutive triple-double. The big man hasn't needed much time to acclimate after putting a 16-game absence behind him due to a left knee bone bruise, as he's averaging 24.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks since his return Jan. 30.
