Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope finished Sunday's 130-101 win over Cleveland with 22 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
The 31-year-old guard stepped up his production on the offensive end with Jamal Murray (knee) sidelined, setting a new season-high scoring mark and delivering at least 20 points for the first time since Nov. 24.

Through 14 games in March, Caldwell-Pope averaged 9.5 points, 2.7 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent from beyond the arc in his secondary role.

Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Solid total in loss
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope racked up 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to the Suns.
Denver's backcourt continues to deal with Jamal Murray's (ankle) absence, and although Caldwell-Pope can be a volatile fantasy prospect, he's delivered solid assist and rebound totals alongside one of his best scoring results over the past two weeks. Short of putting Murray and Reggie Jackson on the floor at the same time, the Nuggets lack playoff experience in the backcourt, so they'll need to see more production from Caldwell-Pope down the stretch.

Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope is listed as questionable to face the Warriors on Sunday due to a right finger sprain.
The veteran sharpshooter has been dealing with a finger injury over the last few days, and while he was able to play through it against the Trail Blazers on Friday, he remains questionable to face Golden State.
