Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Fantasy Stats

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope may be on the Magic and 76er's radars. But first, he must decline his $15.4 million player option. TNT's Chris Haynes reported that KCP might decline his player option if he doesn't reach an extension agreement with the Nuggets before the deadline. However, even if he reaches unrestricted free agency, both sides could still work things out, although Philadelphia and Orlando have the cap space needed to make an enticing offer. The 31-year-old has played in Denver for the last two seasons, appearing in 76 games in each of them. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 10.1 points and shooting 40.6% from behind the arc. Caldwell-Pope will likely remain a starter wherever he ends up moving ahead, which isn't bad for fantasy purposes, even if he's not the most consistent producer.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will likely decline his player option if he doesn't agree on a contract extension with his current team. Haynes added that even if KCP declines, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll leave Denver. However, Caldwell-Pope will have a "plethora of teams at his doorstop" if he hits the open market. The 31-year-old has spent the last two seasons with the Nuggets, where he has been instrumental in the team's success. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 10.1 points and 1.3 steals while shooting 40.6% from behind the arc. With that said, if Caldwell-Pope stays in Denver, he'll have to fight with Nikola Jokic and the rest of the starters for scoring chances. Yet, if he lands on a new team for the 2024-25 season, his production could increase.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has had two solid years with the team but might land elsewhere for the 2024-25 campaign. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Nuggets are "concerned" that Caldwell-Pope will decline his $15.44 million player option and enter unrestricted free agency. It is believed that the two-time NBA champion could attract a similar deal to the one Bruce Brown signed with Indiana last summer when he left Denver on a two-year, $45 million contract. Caldwell-Pope, who turned 31 in February, posted 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists with 40.6 percent three-point shooting in 2023-24.

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Nuggets may be unable to re-sign guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. While Denver would like to keep him on the roster, some project a deal that could exceed $20 million per year, something the Nuggets may not entertain due to tax purposes. The 31-year-old suited up for the Pistons, Lakers, and Wizards before landing in Denver, where he's played arguably the best basketball of his career. With that in mind, Caldwell-Pope hasn't been a consistently reliable fantasy option, although his durability gives him value in any format.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (abdomen) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Minnesota. The Nuggets are down two games in this series, so the abdominal contusion likely won't be enough to keep him out of the lineup. While KCP has logged heavy minutes during the playoffs, he averaged just 8.4 points in the previous series versus the Lakers. Caldwell-Pope has played worse against the Timberwolves, so he's not a recommended DFS option for Game 3 and beyond, although he can get hot whenever he's on the floor.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (shoulder) is anticipated to play in Friday's game in San Antonio. KCP has played as well as expected during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 10.1 points and shooting 40.7% from behind the arc. He also hasn't missed much time, so the shoulder injury shouldn't keep him off the floor versus the Spurs. Unfortunately, Caldwell-Pope scored only four points in each of his previous two games against San Antonio, so DFS managers should think twice before putting him in their lineups.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It looks like Caldwell-Pope is back in the mix after sitting out of Saturday's game due to personal reasons. Christian Braun received the start in his place but didn't do much with the additional playing time. In fact, Justin Holiday actually outplayed him, but neither are reliable fantasy options with Caldwell-Pope back in action on Tuesday.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets could be shorthanded here with Jamal Murray (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. Justin Holiday figures to fill the spot in the starting five left by Caldwell-Pope. Despite the extra minutes, Holiday doesn't offer great streaming value. He has a limited ceiling and isn't even an above-average option on a small-slate night like Saturday.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) is listed as questionable before Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Nuggets Jamal Murray (ankle) is also doubtful. Christian Braun and Peyton Watson could log more minutes at guard should both players be unavailable. Caldwell-Pope will be missed if unavailable, as he registered 20 points in one matchup against Los Angeles on October 21st. He's averaging 10.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 55 regular season contests.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is good news after Caldwell-Pope was considered questionable earlier in the day due to a right finger sprain. The Nuggets are shorthanded, so Caldwell-Pope could see an increased role on Friday. However, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday should remain in the mix as well, so Caldwell-Pope has a limited ceiling on Friday.
