Gets green light Tuesday
Watson (head) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers. After getting listed as probable with a head contusion, Watson has been given the green light to suit up for the Nuggets on Tuesday. Across his last eight games, the versatile 22-year-old wing has averaged 8.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 25.6 minutes.
Likely to play Tuesday
Watson (head) is probable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers. After leaving Sunday's meeting with the Magic with a head contusion, Watson is likely to play through the issue Tuesday. Over his last eight games, the 22-year-old has averaged 8.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 25.6 minutes.
Suffers head injury
Watson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Magic due to a head contusion. The status of Watson for the rest of the game is uncertain, though it wouldn't be surprising to see the Nuggets take a cautious approach and shut him down for the night. Watson posted four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three blocks, two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes before checking out of the contest with 3:23 remaining in the second quarter.
Posts diverse line from bench
Watson provided 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 124-105 victory over Brooklyn. Watson only took five shot attempts, but he made solid contributions in secondary categories in the victory. The Nuggets have a lot invested in Watson, but many forget that he entered the league following limited action in the college ranks and is still considered a development project for the team. Barring a rash of injuries, he will remain stuck in the depth chart for the foreseeable future.
Scores 14 off bench
Watson racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 loss to the Celtics. Nikola Jokic (illness) sat out Tuesday, and Watson was able to take advantage of some extra touches. He's been a serviceable streamer in the absence of Aaron Gordon (calf), posting averages of 10.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 three-pointers over his last seven outings.
Scores 18 points off the bench
Watson totaled 18 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 149-135 loss to the Cavaliers. The Nuggets were without Aaron Gordon (calf) for this matchup Friday, but Watson still came off the bench, although he took advantage of his minutes out there to deliver an efficient scoring outing. Watson has scored in double digits in just two of his last 10 appearances, however, so it's hard to trust him to deliver sustained fantasy production, especially if he continues to play off the bench going forward.
Back to bench
Watson won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks. With Aaron Gordon (rest/calf) unavailable Saturday, Watson drew a spot start and finished with with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during a 122-113 loss to the Wizards. Gordon is back in the starting lineup Sunday, so Watson will assume his usual reserve role. Watson has scored in double figures only once across nine appearances as a reserve.
Muted effort in spot start
Watson finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Wizards. Watson stepped into Denver's starting lineup for the injured Aaron Gordon (calf) on Saturday, but he played a muted role on offense while Nikola Jokic went off for a career-high 56 points. In 12 games as a starter this season, Watson is averaging 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes per contest. If Gordon is unable to suit up for Sunday's tilt with Atlanta, Watson would be worth streaming for defensive stats in fantasy leagues with a likely uptick in playing time in this case.
Starting sans Gordon
Watson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards. The Nuggets will be missing Aaron Gordon (calf) and Jamal Murray (hamstring), so Russell Westbrook and Watson will get the nod as replacements. Watson is averaging 12.4 points, 4.2 and 1.6 assists per game in a starting role this season.
