Peyton Watson Fantasy Stats

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will remain out on Thursday in Game 6 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 23-year-old suffered a right hamstring strain on April 1. There have been no updates on Watson, so it's unclear whether he will be able to return if the Nuggets survive the first-round series against Minnesota. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown have seen a lot of action off the bench during Watson's absence. However, Denver relied heavily on its first unit in Monday's elimination game and will likely do the same on Thursday night.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will miss a ninth consecutive contest on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is recovering from a left hamstring strain and doesn't have a timeline for his return. With Aaron Gordon (calf) also dealing with health issues again, the Nuggets look vulnerable against Minnesota. Cameron Johnson is in a position to benefit and play a larger role, but he has been quiet in the series so far. Across the first three games, Johnson has posted 10.3 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 28.3 minutes.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out for Thursday's Western Conference first-round Game 3 against Minnesota, extending his absence to eight straight games. He has yet to appear in this series and remains without a clear return timeline. Watson averaged 14.6 points and 1.5 three-pointers during the regular season, but Denver has adjusted without him. Christian Braun logged 16 points, five assists, and two steals in 35 minutes in Game 2, while Cameron Johnson added 13 points in 28 minutes. Both remain viable DFS options with stable roles.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out for Monday's Game 2 against Minnesota, extending his absence to seven straight games due to a right hamstring strain. His continued absence keeps Denver's wing rotation tight, with Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. handling steady bench roles. Brown posted eight points, seven rebounds, three assists, and five steals in 21 minutes in Game 1, offering strong DFS value through defensive stats, while Hardaway logged seven points with a three in 24 minutes. Both remain solid value options, while Spencer Jones is more of a risky tournament option.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Watson missed the final five games of the regular season due to a lingering hamstring issue. He has been limited to non-contact work in practice. With that being said, Watson hasn't made enough progress to get back on the court yet. Cameron Johnson should start with Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown seeing expanded roles off the bench. Johnson could be an interesting DFS option without Watson available for at least the first game of this series.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) practiced on Wednesday, but only in the non-contact portions, Brendan Vogt of DNVR Sports reports. Watson missed the last five regular-season games due to right hamstring tightness. He was labeled week-to-week at the start of the month. While Watson hasn't practiced fully, Nuggets head coach David Adelman still hopes he can play in Saturday's playoff opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Watson finished the regular season as Denver's fourth-highest scorer, putting up 14.6 points per game. Additionally, he tallied 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 blocks in 29.6 minutes. If he can't play on the weekend, the Nuggets will look to get more production from Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports. Watson suffered a new hamstring injury in Wednesday's win over Utah. He returned from a right hamstring strain just two weeks ago. The 23-year-old looked good in his first few games back, but unfortunately, Watson re-injured his right hamstring on Wednesday night. Julian Strawther could now have a bigger role off the bench during the final few regular-season games, while starting forwards Aaron Gordon and Cameron Johnson may also see an uptick in minutes.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will play on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Late last week, Watson returned from a hamstring injury, and Denver decided not to use him on Tuesday when the team kicked off a back-to-back with a victory over Phoenix. Watson's return aligns with Aaron Gordon's (hamstring) exit. He will help cover for his absence, along with Spencer Jones and Cameron Johnson. Despite missing six weeks, Watson was in fine form on Sunday against Portland, notching 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against Phoenix as the team manages his workload following a recent return from a lengthy absence. His absence could mean a few extra bench minutes for Tim Hardaway Jr., Spencer Jones, and Julian Strawther, though none are strong fantasy plays right now. Hardaway had six points, four rebounds, and one assist in his last game, while Jones chipped in five points with one three-pointer, one steal, and one block in 11 minutes. All three are risky deep-league streamers with unclear roles.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Portland after missing extended time with a right hamstring strain. Reports suggest he has a good chance to return, though he could face a minutes limit after the long layoff. Before the injury, Watson was averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.2 blocks in 30.7 minutes. He is worth monitoring in standard leagues, but managers may want to see his workload first. Spencer Jones and Julian Strawther could see fewer minutes once Watson is back.
