Nuggets' Christian Braun: Hits for 29 points in win
Braun recorded 23 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 victory over the Pelicans.
Braun has stepped up during Russell Westbrook's (hanstring) extended absence, once again proving his worth as an every-day starter for the Nuggets. The 23-year-old is enjoying the best season of his pro career, averaging 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 11.1 steals over 50 games.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Blows up for 39 points
Porter posted 39 points (16-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 victory over the Pelicans.
After setting a new season high on the front end of the Nuggets' set against the Pelicans, Porter turned around and reset his personal best with three more points against the Pelicans. Although Porter's name was bandied about as a potential trade target, coach Michael Malone has dismissed such rumors, insuring Porter as a fixture in Denver's starting five for the remainder of the season.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Drops 38/10 double-double
Jokic produced 38 points (15-28 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 win over the Pelicans.
Jokic logged 36 minutes in the blowout win, but the Nuggets could have easily prevailed with far less input from the All-Star. Wednesday marked Jokic's fourth consecutive game with a double-digit assist total, and his 11th time hitting the milestone in 12 games.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Back to bench Wednesday
Nnaji is coming off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
With Aaron Gordon returning from a calf injury Wednesday, Nnaji will revert back to Denver's bench following a spot start Monday against New Orleans. Nnaji has averaged 1.4 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in 5.1 minutes over 28 games off the bench this season.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Good to go
Gordon (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Joel Rush of Forbes.com reports.
Gordon was upgraded from questionable to probable Wednesday afternoon, so seeing him suiting up against New Orleans is no surprise. Gordon has started in each of his last three appearances, averaging 10.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 30.7 minutes.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Likely will play against NOLA
Gordon (calf) has been upgraded to probable to play Wednesday against the Pelicans, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
After missing Monday's win against the Pelicans, Gordon might return to the floor Wednesday in Denver's second straight game against New Orleans. The veteran big man is averaging 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable against New Orleans
Gordon (calf) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Gordon missed Monday's win against the Pelicans while nursing his right calf injury. However, he might be able to get back on the floor for the Nuggets for the team's second straight game against New Orleans, which would improve the squad's chance of coming out on top against the injury-riddled Pelicans in Denver.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Scores 15 off bench
Strawther ended Monday's 125-113 win over New Orleans with 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 24 minutes.
Aaron Gordon (calf) and Russell Westbrook (hamstring) sat this game out, while Peyton Watson (knee) is expected to miss at least four weeks. That means Strawther will have a big opportunity in front of him to make some noise with the second unit. Through 50 games this season, he's averaging 9.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 21.8 minutes.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Notches 12 points in win
Nnaji produced 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one block across 31 minutes during Monday's 125-113 victory over the Pelicans.
Aaron Gordon (calf), Russell Westbrook (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (knee) were all sidelined, so Nnaji was given his first start since the 2022-23 season. Nnaji has been used sparingly this season for an average of 6.0 minutes over 29 appearances, but he made the most of his minutes Monday. He'll be a name to monitor ahead of the trade deadline, as he's been in the rumor mill quite a bit.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Scores season-high 36 points
Porter finished with 36 points (12-22 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 125-113 win over New Orleans.
Porter set a new season-high mark with 36 points, leading the Nuggets in scoring in the process. He's currently on pace to return sixth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats, averaging 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.6 three-pointers on 51.3 percent shooting from the field.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Starting Monday vs. NOLA
Nnaji is in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Pelicans on Monday.
Nnaji will make his first regular-season start since the 2022-23 campaign due to the absences of Aaron Gordon (calf) and Peyton Watson (knee). Nnaji played a season-high 22 minutes in Saturday's 107-104 win over the Nuggets and finished with six points, three rebounds, five blocks and one steal.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Not playing Monday vs. Pels
Gordon (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Gordon had missed nine games from Dec. 27 through Jan. 10 due to a right calf strain, but he was able to play in 11 of the Nuggets' last 12 games and was a starter in Denver's last three contests. He'll be held out of Monday's game as the Nuggets continue to manage his injury, but he could be back in action for Wednesday's rematch with the Pelicans. Julian Strawther and Zeke Nnaji should be in store for added playing time Monday with Gordon and fellow forward Peyton Watson (knee) sidelined.

Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: No timetable for return
Nuggets head coach Mike Malone said Monday that Westbrook is without a timeline to return to action while he recovers from a left hamstring strain, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Westbrook suffered the injury in Friday's win over the 76ers and will miss a second straight game Monday versus the Pelicans. Given Malone's comments, Westbrook appears likely to remain out through the All-Star break. Christian Braun will likely remain in the Nuggets' starting lineup while Westbrook works on his rehab and recovery, and Jalen Pickett could enter the rotation as Jamal Murray's top backup at point guard.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable Monday vs. NOLA
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Gordon has played in 11 of the Nuggets' last 12 games after missing the nine prior contests due to a right calf injury. He has started in Denver's last three games, though it appears he is still working through the issue. Gordon's availability for Monday's game probably won't be known until the Nuggets go through their pregame warmups.
