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.

Nuggets Injury Report
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.
Nnaji notched two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across five minutes during Saturday's 133-104 loss to the Timberwolves. Nnaji continues to be used sparingly off the bench, having played more than six minutes on only four occasions this season. Although he has seen the court in six of the past seven games, his minutes have come exclusively during garbage time. Barring injuries to multiple other players, it's hard to see his role increasing.
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.
Porter recorded 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 win over the Kings. The 26-year-old finished as the club's third-leading scorer, joining Nikola Jokic (35 points) and Christian Braun (21 points) with 20-plus points. Porter struggled from three-point range, though he has been efficient lately. Over his last five outings, the forward has averaged 15.2 points and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from deep in 28.0 minutes per game.
Braun accumulated 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 win over Sacramento. The 23-year-old recorded his third consecutive contest with at least 20 points, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Nikola Jokic (35 points). Thursday's win also marked Braun's 11th outing with multiple swipes. The third-year guard has taken a significant leap this season, and he has been stellar over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 67.9 percent from the field in 29.6 minutes per game.
Jokic accumulated 35 points (12-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 22 rebounds, 17 assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 win over the Kings. Jokic secured his fifth consecutive triple-double and posted at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists for the second time this season. The MVP candidate has recorded at least three combined steals-plus-blocks in three straight outings. The superstar has stuffed the stat sheet while shooting an efficient 67.7 percent from the field over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 23.2 points, 15.0 rebounds, 11.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks in 31.4 minutes per contest.
Murray closed with nine points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 144-109 victory over Philadelphia. For the third time this season, Murray was held to single-digit points. He's been dealing with knee soreness for most of the season, but he also had some left calf tightness Tuesday, so he popped up on the injury report with a probable tag.
Strawther finished with 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 144-109 win over the 76ers. Strawther erupted for a career-high 23 points in the blowout win, taking advantage of some garbage time -- he scored nine of his points in the fourth quarter. The second-year guard has had a strong month overall, averaging 11.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.3 three-pointers over his last 12 outings.
