Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Suffers head injury
Watson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Magic due to a head contusion.
The status of Watson for the rest of the game is uncertain, though it wouldn't be surprising to see the Nuggets take a cautious approach and shut him down for the night. Watson posted four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three blocks, two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes before checking out of the contest with 3:23 remaining in the second quarter.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Posts diverse line from bench
Watson provided 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 124-105 victory over Brooklyn.
Watson took only five shot attempts, but he made solid contributions in secondary categories in the victory. The Nuggets have a lot invested in Watson, but many forget that he entered the league following limited action in the college ranks and is still considered a developmental project for the team. Nonetheless, he's seeing significant action this season, averaging a career-high 24.7 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Scores 14 off bench
Watson racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 loss to the Celtics.
Nikola Jokic (illness) sat out Tuesday, and Watson was able to take advantage of some extra touches. He's been a serviceable streamer in the absence of Aaron Gordon (calf), posting averages of 10.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 three-pointers over his last seven outings.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Scores 18 points off bench
Watson totaled 18 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 149-135 loss to the Cavaliers.
The Nuggets were without Aaron Gordon (calf) for this matchup Friday, but Watson still came off the bench, although he took advantage of his minutes to deliver an efficient scoring outing. Watson has scored in double digits in just two of his last 10 appearances, however, so it's hard to trust him to deliver sustained fantasy production, especially if he continues to play off the bench going forward.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Back to bench
Watson won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
With Aaron Gordon (rest/calf) unavailable Saturday, Watson drew a spot start and finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during a 122-113 loss to the Wizards. Gordon is back in the starting lineup Sunday, so Watson will assume his usual reserve role. Watson has scored in double figures only once across nine appearances as a reserve.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Muted effort in spot start
Watson finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Wizards.
Watson stepped into Denver's starting lineup for the injured Aaron Gordon (calf) on Saturday, but the former played a muted role on offense while Nikola Jokic went off for a career-high 56 points. In 12 games as a starter this season, Watson is averaging 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes per contest. If Gordon is unable to suit up for Sunday's tilt with Atlanta, Watson would be worth streaming for defensive stats in fantasy leagues with a likely uptick in playing time in this case.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Starting sans Gordon
Watson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
The Nuggets will be missing Aaron Gordon (calf) and Jamal Murray (hamstring), so Russell Westbrook and Watson will get the nod as replacements. Watson is averaging 12.4 points, 4.2 and 1.6 assists per game in a starting role this season.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Available to play Tuesday
Watson (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Watson continues to deal with a groin injury, but that hasn't impacted his availability. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games and has averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in that span. However, it's unclear if he'll remain in the starting unit now that Aaron Gordon (calf) is back.

Watson (groin) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Watson has played through groin and hip injuries as of late, but he's expected to play in Tuesday's NBA Cup clash. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games -- coinciding with Aaron Gordon's right calf injury -- and over that span Watson has averaged 12.4 points on 57.4 percent shooting, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks over 31.2 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Available Sunday
Watson (groin) will play during Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Watson will officially be available after being deemed probable ahead of game time due to an adductor strain. Watson has had a prominent role for Denver this season, but with Aaron Gordon (calf) back in the lineup, it wouldn't be surprising for Watson's playing time to take a hit.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Probable for Sunday
Watson is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers with a right adductor strain.
Watson has been dealing with an adductor strain for quite some time, but that hasn't prevented the third-year forward from making 10 starts in a row. The probable tag suggests he should remain in the starting unit, especially with Aaron Gordon (calf) listed as doubtful. Watson is averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game since moving to a starting role.
