Gordon logged 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 victory over Washington.
Gordon had not made a three-pointer in his previous four games, but that changed in the first quarter, as the Wizards were not aggressive when closing out to Gordon. Denver's power forward has put up double-digit points in 11 straight games, but he hasn't topped 20 in that stretch either. Outside of the threes, Gordon's overall performance was disappointing, notching a single rebound, assist and steal.
Gordon notched 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-6 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 125-110 loss to the Raptors.
Gordon scored in double figures for a seventh straight game, adding three combined steals and blocks in what was a solid overall performance. Since returning from injury, Gordon is barely a top-200 player, with his numbers basically down across the board. While he should be viewed as a must-roster player, his place in a 12-team league could be dependent on schedule and statistical need.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: All-around performance in win
Rotowire
Gordon recorded 19 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 118-113 victory over the Raptors.
Gordon posted his highest-scoring outing since Feb. 9 and recorded at least one tally in each defensive category for the first time since returning from a five-game absence due to a rib contusion. The veteran forward was a little rusty during his return to action, but he appears to be rounding back into form and should be a viable fantasy asset during the stretch run.

Rotowire
Gordon (ribs) is probable for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets.
After a five-game absence due to a rib contusion, Gordon returned to action for Sunday's 134-124 overtime win over the Clippers but struggled with his shot across 29 minutes before fouling out. The veteran forward looks set to play through the injury again, but fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his effectiveness until he fully clears the injury report.

Rotowire
Gordon recorded six points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), six rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 134-124 overtime victory over the Clippers.
Gordon returned to action following a five-game absence due to a rib contusion, but he struggled with his shot and appeared a step slow as he fouled out. The versatile forward is averaging 17.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 30.2 minutes, so it's safe to chalk Sunday's poor performance up to rust.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Out Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (ribs) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
This will be Gordon's third straight game on the shelf, but now he'll get more than a week off to rest up before Denver's next game Feb. 23 in Cleveland. Vlatko Cancar should be looking at another start Wednesday night, and he has some low-end appeal in deep leagues with averages of 10.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 three-pointers through five starts this season.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Gordon (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Gordon posted a season-high 37 points to go along with 13 rebounds across 38 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Magic, but the ribs issue that has been affecting him of late will cause him to sit out in this one. This means more minutes will be available for players such as Jeff Green and Vlatko Cancar, while Gordon's next chance to play will come Monday at Miami.
