Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Quiet in win
Rotowire
Gordon logged six points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 win over Atlanta.
After missing Saturday's loss to the Wizards due to injury management, Gordon was quiet for the second leg of this back-to-back set. His minutes were held in check due to the lopsided score, so his fantasy managers can chalk this up as an outlier. Gordon played really well in his previous two outings, averaging 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Ruled out Saturday vs. Washington
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Gordon was initially deemed probable for Saturday's contest, but his status downgraded to questionable after he missed shootaround, and he will now observe the game in street clothes. His absence Saturday also jeopardizes his availability for the Nuggets' second leg of a back-to-back against the Hawks on Sunday. Peyton Watson, Hunter Tyson and Julian Strawther should all see their playing time increase Saturday due to Gordon's absence.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Contributes in paint in defeat
Rotowire
Gordon accumulated 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
Gordon took the court in Thursday's contest after being listed as probable due to injury management following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. The forward put together a balanced performance in the paint, ending as one of four Nuggets players with at least 15 points while finishing second on the team in rebounds. Gordon's production has steadily improved in the three outings since his return, and it's safe to assume he is nearing full health after that lengthy injury absence.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Nears double-double
Rotowire
Gordon accumulated 15 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 119-115 win over the Warriors.
Gordon returned to the starting lineup in this matchup and made his presence felt right away, finishing just one rebound away from a double-double and allowing Nikola Jokic to play with even more freedom in the frontcourt. Gordon, who missed 10 games between Nov. 6 and Nov. 27, should remain in a starting role going forward due to the rapport he has with Jokic in the frontcourt. Given that he cleared the 30-minute threshold in Tuesday's win, he's not likely to have any sort of minutes restriction going forward.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Chips in off bench in return
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) tallied 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal across 24 minutes in Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.
Though he's eventually expected to supplant Peyton Watson in the starting five, Gordon was eased back into action in a bench role after missing the Nuggets' previous 10 games with a right calf strain. The Nuggets also managed Gordon's playing time in his return, but he was still able to make some useful contributions across the board during his time on the court. Regardless if he starts in the Nuggets' next game Tuesday versus the Warriors, expect Gordon to see at least a mild boost in minutes.

Gordon has missed 10 straight outings due to a right calf strain, though his status being upgraded from doubtful to questionable bodes well for his potential return to game action soon. Even If the 29-year-old forward is deemed available Sunday, he will likely remain under a minutes restriction.
