Aaron Gordon Fantasy Stats

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. After he returned from a hamstring injury on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets, Gordon sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Monday night versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The team will not want to risk an injury setback and may keep Gordon out of action again on Wednesday. Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji are in a position to contribute more if Gordon doesn't play.

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is returning on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. After not playing since November 22nd, Gordon is off the injury report and will play under a minutes restriction. In only 13 games this season, Gordon has averaged a career-high 18.8 points, while adding 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists. With Gordon back in action, power forward Spencer Jones is set to head back to the bench, while Peyton Watson could have less of an impact as well. With superstar center Nikola Jokic (knee) out indefinitely, the Nuggets need the reinforcements, even if Gordon sees limited playing time.

Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports that Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman said there's a chance we see forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and guard Christian Braun (ankle) on this roadtrip for Denver. "Hoping at the back end of this road trip we see them," said Adelman. The Nuggets are in the midst of a seven-game road trip that began on Saturday in Orlando. Gordon has been out since November 21 due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Braun has been dealing with a left ankle sprain and has been sidelined since November 12. Both players are on the team's road trip and participated in a pregame workout before Saturday's 127-126 loss in Orlando. Fantasy managers should expect them to return likely during the first week of the new year.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and guard Christian Braun (ankle) are not expected to return until after Christmas, per coach David Adelman. When asked about Gordon and Braun's recovery, Adelman said, "I would imagine they celebrate the holiday without playing, but we'll see." Braun was given a six-week timeline about four weeks ago, so it's not surprising that he still has a ways to go, but Gordon was given a timeline of four to six weeks three weeks ago, so he could have been nearing a return. Without Gordon and Braun, Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones should continue to have a chance to shine while veterans Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown Jr. continue to get more playing time on the wings as well.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) will miss at least four to six weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, removing one of Denver's key frontcourt pieces for the foreseeable future. Gordon was producing 18.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 28.3 minutes on 53.2 percent shooting before the injury, making him an IL stash in most formats. Peyton Watson steps in as the primary replacement and should see a clear bump in minutes, while Cameron Johnson gains added stability across scoring and rebounding. With Christian Braun (ankle) also out, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. remain viable short-term streamers for threes, points, and supplemental defensive stats.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) exited Friday's win at Houston after just three minutes and is expected to miss time, according to head coach David Adelman. Gordon has been in and out of the lineup recently, sitting two games earlier in the month. He was in the middle of a strong season, averaging 18.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 28.3 minutes. His last five games included 16.6 points and 6.8 rebounds on 50.9 percent shooting and 40.9 percent from deep. Peyton Watson should be the primary beneficiary, with Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown gaining wing minutes and Jonas Valanciunas seeing a small bump.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) won't return to Friday's NBA Cup clash with the Houston Rockets. The 30-year-old didn't suit up for the win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. While he received the green light to get on the floor on Friday, his night came to an abrupt end due to a right hamstring strain after only three minutes of work. Gordon is having the best season of his career, averaging 20.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 45.2% shooting from behind the arc. With that in mind, if he ends up missing time, Tim Hardaway Jr. or Bruce Brown could find themselves in the starting lineup, with Spencer Jones getting more minutes from off the bench. Of course, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray should continue to lead the way offensively.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Houston Rockets after missing the previous game. Whenever Gordon is available, he delivers steady counting stats. He's averaging 20.3 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 53.6 percent overall and 45.2 percent from long range. His return should stabilize Denver's forward rotation and push Peyton Watson back into a secondary role after Watson delivered 32 points and 12 rebounds on Wednesday. Gordon remains a locked-in starter with steady efficiency, but Christian Braun's (ankle) multiweek absence keeps minutes available on the perimeter. Gordon's return limits the ceiling for the bench group, yet Watson should continue to see enough run to stay on the radar in deeper leagues.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) will sit out Wednesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Gordon was a late addition to the injury report and was initially handed a questionable designation. The veteran is managing a hamstring problem and may also miss time later in the week, when Denver has a back-to-back scheduled. With Gordon unavailable, Tim Hardaway Jr., Bruce Brown, and Spencer Jones are likely to absorb more minutes. Of the three players, Hardaway Jr. offers the most fantasy upside.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is considered probable for Tuesday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. He looks set to return from a one-game absence. Gordon didn't play in Saturday's win over the Indiana Pacers as he is managing a hamstring injury. Another rest day could be on the horizon for Gordon, with Denver also in action on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Peyton Watson might have another chance to start in that game, but he is anticipated to make way for Gordon in the first unit on Tuesday. Gordon is off to a hot start to the season, averaging a career-high 20.1 points on 46.3 percent three-point shooting.
