Pickett closed with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 120-108 loss to the Lakers. With the game out of hand, Denver dug into its depleted roster and gave Pickett 19 minutes, and he did swift damage with the opportunity. The 2023 second-round pick out of Penn State has bounced back and forth between the parent club and the Grand Rapids Gold in the G League, and he'll likely remain in Denver while the team deals with multiple injuries.

Logs 14 points in blowout loss

Pickett closed with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 120-108 loss to the Lakers. With the game out of hand, Denver dug into its depleted roster and gave Pickett 19 minutes, and he did swift damage with the opportunity. The 2023 second-round pick out of Penn State has bounced back and forth between the parent club and the Grand Rapids Gold in the G League, and he'll likely remain in Denver while the team deals with multiple injuries.
Impresses off bench

Pickett closed with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 146-117 victory over Portland. Jamal Murray was ejected from this game after 29 minutes, but it was a blowout anyway. Pickett ended up posting career-high marks in points (14) and assists (9), but he still has a lot to prove before he can be viewed as a viable fantasy option in most leagues. Over his last six games, he averaged 5.3 points, 3.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 39.4 percent shooting from the field.
Serviceable role in victory

Pickett recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 15 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 victory over the Hornets. Pickett played at least 15 minutes for just the fifth time this season, sliding up in the rotation following a hamstring injury to Russell Westbrook. Although Pickett could feature on a nightly basis should Westbrook miss additional time, there is no reason to think he will play more than about 15 minutes, limiting his overall upside.
Muted role continues

Pickett recorded zero points (0-1 FG) and one assist across five minutes during Saturday's 133-104 loss to the Timberwolves. Despite appearing for the sixth time in the past seven games, Pickett continues to play a limited role off the bench. The majority of his playing time to this point has come during garbage time. Through 18 games played, he averages just 2.7 points, 1.5 assists and 0.5 three-pointers in 7.6 minutes per contest.
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.
