Denver Nuggets

Trevon Brazile

Brazile is managing a right shoulder strain that will keep him sidelined Saturday. It remains to be seen whether the injury will sideline him beyond the weekend, though the rookie's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against Oklahoma City.

Peyton Watson

With tons of injuries in Denver last season, Watson broke out, averaging 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals per game on 49/41/73 shooting splits. However, the injury bug also hit Watson, who missed 31 of the Nuggets' final 36 games, including every postseason contest. Given his strong performance, Watson is set for a major raise, given he's fully healthy during free agency.

Aaron Gordon

Gordon attempted to warm up ahead of Thursday's clash, but he's not feeling healthy enough to give it a go. Spencer Jones stepped into the starting lineup in Gordon's place in Game 5 and should be considered the favorite to start again in Game 6.
