Questionable against New Orleans

Gordon missed Monday's win against the Pelicans while nursing his right calf injury. However, he might be able to get back on the floor for the Nuggets for the team's second straight game against New Orleans, which would improve the squad's chance of coming out on top against the injury-riddled Pelicans in Denver.

Scores 15 off bench

Aaron Gordon (calf) and Russell Westbrook (hamstring) sat this game out, while Peyton Watson (knee) is expected to miss at least four weeks. That means Strawther will have a big opportunity in front of him to make some noise with the second unit. Through 50 games this season, he's averaging 9.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 21.8 minutes.

Notches 12 points

Aaron Gordon (calf), Russell Westbrook (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (knee) were all sidelined, so Nnaji was given his first start since the 2022-23 season. Nnaji has been used sparingly this season for an average of 6.0 minutes over 29 appearances, but he made the most of his minutes Monday. He'll be a name to monitor ahead of the trade deadline as he's been in the rumor mill quite a bit.

Porter set a new season-high mark with 36 points, leading the Nuggets in scoring in the process. He's currently on pace to return sixth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats, averaging 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.6 three-pointers on 51.3 percent shooting from the field.

Starting Monday vs. NOLA

Nnaji will make his first regular-season start since the 2022-23 campaign due to the absences of Aaron Gordon (calf) and Peyton Watson (knee). Nnaji played a season-high 22 minutes in Saturday's 107-104 win over the Nuggets and finished with six points, three rebounds, five blocks and one steal.
