Top Peyton Watson News

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Struggles with shot

    Watson ended Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals with four points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 20 minutes.

    Watson, who was a reliable role player for most of the season, was in the eight-man playoff rotation for Denver but was used pretty sparingly with 14.2 minutes per game. As for the regular season, Watson saw 24.4 minutes with 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals across 68 appearances. Watson will be entering the final year of his deal in 2025-26, worth $4.3 million.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Plays 14 minutes in Game 2

    Watson produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Watson has now played 14 minutes in two straight postseason games. Denver's rotation is extremely tight right now, and Watson is second only to Russell Westbrook in terms of minutes played with the second unit.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Bench role vs. Indiana

    Watson will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Pacers.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Will play Friday

    Watson (knee) is available and starting in Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Watson will return to game action after missing Wednesday's loss to the Spurs due to right knee inflammation. Over his last five appearances (three starts), the 22-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 blocks and 1.8 assists across 33.2 minutes per contest.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Game-time call for Friday

    Watson (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Watson sat out of Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs while dealing with right knee inflammation, but he'll have a chance to take the court Friday. Denver will presumably monitor him closely in shootaround before providing an update on his availability.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Officially out

    Watson (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

    Watson will join the entire Nuggets' starting five in street clothes Wednesday. The 22-year-old is battling right knee inflammation. Expect Hunter Tyson, Spencer Jones and Vlatko Cancar to see plenty of action. Watson's next chance to play will come Friday at Golden State.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Not expected to play

    Watson (knee) is "not expected to play" against the Spurs on Wednesday, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

    The absence of Watson would leave the Nuggets extremely thin on the frontcourt, as head coach Michael Malone already announced he will sit all five of his usual starters. If Watson ends up being ruled out, Hunter Tyson and Spencer Jones would be in line to see more minutes.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Iffy for Wednesday

    Watson is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to right knee inflammation.

    Watson logged 45 minutes during Tuesday's 140-139 overtime loss to Minnesota, and now he could be held out for maintenance for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Nuggets could end up being extremely shorthanded, as Nikola Jokic (ankle), Jamal Murray (hamstring), Michael Porter (personal), Aaron Gordon (calf) and Christian Braun (foot) are also carrying questionable tags.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Three more blocks in Friday's start

    Watson produced eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 129-93 victory over the Jazz.

    With Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, Watson got the start and once again made an impact at the defensive end of the court, recording multiple blocks for the fourth straight game. Despite his 6-foot-7 stature, the third-year forward has been an impressive source of rejections since returning from a knee sprain that cost him all of February and the first game of March. Over his last 11 appearances, Watson has averaged 10.2 points, 3.9 boards, 2.1 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.0 threes in 26.1 minutes a contest while shooting 53.0 percent from the floor and 47.8 percent from long distance.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Starting Friday vs. Utah

    Watson is in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Jazz on Friday.

    With Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, Watson will enter the Nuggets' starting five Friday while Russell Westbrook comes off the bench. Watson has seen a noticeable bump in minutes over his last six outings and has averaged 13.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 30.2 minutes per game over that span.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Rejoins reserves

    Watson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

    Watson replaced Aaron Gordon (calf) in the starting lineup Monday but will return to the second unit now that Gordon is healthy. Watson has scored in double figures in four of his last five outings.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Career-best night in loss

    Watson had 24 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and four blocks over 39 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Bulls.

    The 24 points were a career high for Watson, as he took advantage of absences from Nikola Jokic (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (calf). Watson has scored in double digits in four of the five games Jokic has missed so far, averaging 14.0 points, 4.6 boards, 2.2 blocks, 1.4 threes and 1.2 steals in 29.4 minutes over that span, but the third-year forward will see his numbers decline once the All-Star center is back on the court.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Starting sans Gordon

    Watson will join the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls.

    With Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) taking a seat on the second end of Denver's back-to-back, Watson will jump into the starting five Monday. Watson has averaged 11.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks in 30.6 minutes over 14 games as a starter this season.

  • Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Trending up for Denver

    Watson had nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 win over the Rockets.

    Watson is trending in the right direction for Denver and is worth a look as a pickup in deeper fantasy leagues. Outside of a poor free-throw percentage lately, Watson has been solid over his last four games. In that span, he produced averages of 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers on 51.4 percent shooting from the field in 27.1 minutes. His minutes will likely remain healthy as long as Nikola Jokic (ankle) is still sidelined.
