Jordan posted four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over Memphis. Jordan was dusted off once again, playing minutes as the backup center after Nikola Jokic was once again ruled out due to personal reasons. Primarily serving as a veteran leader in the locker room, there is no reason to think Jordan's role will extend beyond spot minutes when the Nuggets are shorthanded.

Latest Nuggets News
DeAndre Jordan : Dusted off in victory
Jordan posted four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over Memphis. Jordan was dusted off once again, playing minutes as the backup center after Nikola Jokic was once again ruled out due to personal reasons. Primarily serving as a veteran leader in the locker room, there is no reason to think Jordan's role will extend beyond spot minutes when the Nuggets are shorthanded.
Trey Alexander : Rare appearance Tuesday
Alexander closed with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over nine minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 win over the Grizzlies. Alexander appeared for just the fourth time this season, logging a career-high nine minutes. While it's great to see a rookie getting some burn, there is no indication this is the start of a trend. Alexander should continue to be used sparingly on a team pushing for as many victories as possible.
Peyton Watson : Strong two-way effort
Watson fouled out of Tuesday's 122-110 win over the Grizzlies after recording 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes. Watson chipped in on both ends of the floor, continuing to provide serviceable production in Aaron Gordon's absence due to a calf injury. Despite foul trouble, Watson reminded everyone just what he can do when afforded meaningful minutes, playing as a primary defender while also being able to spread the floor on the offensive end. Until Gordon returns, Watson should remain a key piece for the Nuggets.
Russell Westbrook : Posts triple-double No. 200 in win
Westbrook closed with 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 assists, 10 rebounds, two steals and one block over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over the Grizzlies. Westbrook recorded his 200th career regular-season triple-double, and his first as a member of the Nuggets. The 2017 MVP also posted season highs in both assists and rebounds while leading the bench in scoring against Memphis. The best years of his career are behind him, though the 36-year-old has proven he can still be a solid contributor in the league. Westbrook has averaged 10.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 24.9 minutes per game in 13 regular-season outings (three starts).
Vlatko Cancar : Out for remainder of game Tuesday
Cancar has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against Memphis due to a left knee sprain, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports. Cancar will finish with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and four rebounds across 11 minutes. Cancar left the game at the 3:47 mark of the second quarter after landing awkwardly on his left leg following a dunk. The Nuggets are calling it a left knee sprain, though the forward will likely undergo further testing to make sure there is no significant damage to the knee.
Vlatko Cancar : Heads to locker room Tuesday
Cancar (knee) went back to the locker room with 3:47 remaining in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against Memphis, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports. Cancar threw down a dunk but landed awkwardly on his left leg and grabbed at his left knee. The forward tore his ACL in the same knee last year, and it is unlikely he will return to the game. If Cancar remains out, he will finish with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and four rebounds across 11 minutes.
Nikola Jokic : Listed out for Tuesday
Jokic (personal) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies. Jokic will miss his third straight game for personal reasons, and it remains unclear when he'll be back with the team. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Friday's game against Dallas. Dario Saric is likely to remain in the starting lineup in the meantime.
Nikola Jokic : Questionable for Tuesday
Jokic (personal) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies. Jokic has already missed two straight games for personal reasons and may be absent for a third. Dario Saric has moved into the starting lineup in Jokic's absence, totaling 19 points, 18 rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 66 minutes over the past two games -- both losses.
