Back to bench Wednesday

Tyson will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Tyson will return to a bench role Wednesday after making the first start of his NBA career in Monday's win against the Warriors. The Clemson product hasn't had a significant role with Denver this season, averaging 7.6 minutes per game. He likely won't have much of a fantasy impact returning to the second unit.
Fares well as starter

Tyson ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors. Christian Braun (foot), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Nikola Jokic (elbow) were all sidelined Monday, allowing Tyson to make his first career start. All three of those players are day-to-day, but they could get some maintenance in the final weeks as the Nuggets look to keep them fresh for the playoffs. Tyson will be on the streaming radar only when the Nuggets are very shorthanded.
First career start Monday

Tyson is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Golden State. The Nuggets are without three members of their starting lineup Monday, creating a rare opportunity for the 2023 second-rounder in the first unit. Tyson has averaged 2.0 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 steals in 4.4 minutes over four games since the All-Star break, making it unclear how much his role will expand against the Warriors.
Cracks garbage-time rotation

Tyson posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across five minutes during Saturday's 133-104 loss to the Timberwolves. Tyson continues to play only during garbage time, a common theme for several fringe players who saw court time Saturday. To this point, he has suited up in 33 games, averaging a modest 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per game.
Scores seven points

Tyson accumulated seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 130-129 victory over the Kings. Christian Braun missed his first game of the season due to lower back spasms, and Tyson was one of a few reserves to step up in his absence. Tyson matched his season-high mark of seven points in the win, but the workload wasn't appetizing enough to warrant attention for streaming purposes.
Plays 15 minutes in victory

Tyson ended Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal over 15 minutes. Tyson chipped in on the defensive end during his second consecutive game hitting the double-digit mark in minutes. The 24-year-old is a candidate for an increased role with Aaron Gordon (calf) set to miss multiple weeks.
Back in rotation Friday

Tyson finished with two points (1-1 FG) in one minute during Friday's 111-98 loss to the Timberwolves. Tyson played one minute in the loss, suiting up for just the second time in the past 10 games. Given he has played only 13 games all season, Tyson can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
Elevated for Sunday's game

Denver recalled Tyson from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday. Tyson and Jalen Pickett were available for Sunday's loss to the Mavericks, but neither saw playing time. Tyson has made just one NBA appearance in March, totaling three points and a rebound in a one-minute, garbage-time appearance during a blowout win over Utah.
Gets garbage-time run in return

Tyson (finger) played four minutes in Wednesday's 117-96 win over the Kings, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds. Back in action after missing the last five games with a finger fracture and sprain, Tyson was out of head coach Michael Malone's rotation while the game was competitive, as he didn't leave the bench until the Nuggets held a 22-point lead with 3:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. Tyson could link up with the G League's Grand Rapids Gold in the coming days if his playing time with the Nuggets remains scarce.
