Pickett finished Monday's 117-90 victory over Phoenix with 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, eight assists and one block over 23 minutes. Pickett enjoyed a season-high 23 minutes in this win and made the most of his time, as the 11 points were a career-high mark for the second-year guard out of Penn State. He probably saw an uptick in minutes due to the absence of Jamal Murray (ankle), but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact here. Pickett isn't expected to have a sizable role off the bench going forward.

Scores career-high 11 points
Pickett finished Monday's 117-90 victory over Phoenix with 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, eight assists and one block over 23 minutes. Pickett enjoyed a season-high 23 minutes in this win and made the most of his time, as the 11 points were a career-high mark for the second-year guard out of Penn State. He probably saw an uptick in minutes due to the absence of Jamal Murray (ankle), but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact here. Pickett isn't expected to have a sizable role off the bench going forward.
Healthy for preseason
Pickett (groin) subbed into Friday's preseason opener against the Celtics with 4:27 remaining in the third quarter. Pickett dealt with left groin soreness during the Summer League which held him out of the squad's final matchup. However, the 24-year-old is back in game action for the preseason and will likely compete for a spot at the end of the rotation during the regular season. Pickett averaged 1.6 points across 4.5 minutes per game in 27 regular-season appearances during his rookie season last year.
Battling groin pain
Pickett won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Pelicans due to left groin soreness, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports. The issue flared up during Thursday's game and the Nuggets will cautiously keep Pickett out of its Summer League Finale. The second-year guard should be healthy in time for training camp.
Not on injury report
Pickett (personal) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Memphis. Pickett was unavailable Saturday against the Trail Blazers but should be able to suit up after a one-game absence. However, he isn't a regular part of the Nuggets' rotation.
Out due to personal reasons
Pickett has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers. Pickett isn't a regular part of Denver's rotation, so his absence shouldn't have any fantasy implications.
Recalled ahead of Sunday's game
Denver recalled Pickett from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday. Pickett and Hunter Tyson were active for Sunday's loss to the Mavericks but didn't see any playing time. After appearing in four straight NBA games to end February, Pickett has played in just one of Denver's first eight March contests.
Elevated for Wednesday's game
Denver recalled Pickett from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Wednesday. Pickett and Julian Strawther were both elevated ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Kings, but with Denver's rotation at full strength, neither is expected to play heavy minutes. Pickett hasn't played double-digit minutes since Nov. 19.
