J.J. Hickson will come off the bench on Tuesday vs. the Blazers. He's been a power forward playing center all season and it's led to some major issues on defense. Hickson doesn't really do much on the stat sheet outside of score and grab boards, so the move to the bench will probably make him a candidate to be cut in most formats.

J.J. HIckson double-doubled against the Bucks on Thursday with 14 points, 10 boards, one assist and two steals on 6-of-9 from the field. This matchup was tailor made for Hickson and he was able to get short-range buckets all night long. He's developed some consistency over his last five, averaging 13.2 points, 11.2 boards, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks on 49.1 percent from the field. The loss of JaVale McGee for the season helps solidify his value a bit.

J.J. Hickson scored 12 points with eight boards and two turnovers in 28 minutes against the Pacers on Monday. The Pacers had 58 points in the paint tonight and had no trouble getting very easy buckets. Hickson is part of the problem for Denver's defense lately, but he should be a decent double-double threat with little else.

J.J. Hickson had 15 points, 16 rebounds and a block in Saturday's loss to the Pistons. Normally it's the Pistons bigs who beat up on the Nuggets, but Hickson was solid tonight. Kenneth Faried was quiet with 11 points, three rebounds and a block in 20 minutes, but both players continue to be solid fantasy starters going forward.

J.J. Hickson had 19 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in Wednesday's win. Kenneth Faried started at power forward and added 10 points, nine rebounds, two steals and a block, while Timofey Mozgov came off the bench for zero points, two rebounds and a block in just 12 minutes. Hickson and Faried are hot and look like must-starts, while Mozgov is playing kind of like Tina Fey, and has fallen off the map after a couple good games last week. Hopefully he's not trapped in one of your weekly lineups right now.

J.J. Hickson scored 18 points with 13 boards, four assists and one steal in 30 minutes against the Raptors on Friday. He shot 7-of-10 from the field and 4-of-8 from the line in the loss. The latter half of that shooting equation has been an issue for Hickson and his 55 percent from the line, so he's a tough player to own in standard leagues unless you're looking to bolster points and boards. Kenneth Faried blocked four shots with 12 points and eight boards, making him a slightly better option.

J.J. HIckson scored 14 points with 13 boards, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes vs. the Pacers on Saturday. The Nuggets were getting to the line all night, but only made 21-of-37 attempts as a team. Hickson in particular made just 4-of-11 from the charity stripe, dropping his season free throw shooting to 55.8 percent. He's been solid in points and boards, but the deficiencies in every other area are lowing his upside in standard fantasy leagues.

J.J. Hickson hit 6-of-12 shots and just 1-of-4 free throws, but also had 13 points, a season-high 24 rebounds and a steal in Wednesday's win over the Warriors. Hickson was a beast on the glass tonight and has now racked up three straight double-doubles, and hit double digits in rebounds in four straight. Over his last five, he's averaging 13.6 rebounds, 12.8 boards, 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks, making him worth starting in all formats.

J.J. Hickson scored 21 points on 8-of-9 shooting (5-of-6 FTs) with 10 rebounds and two blocks over 31 minutes in Monday's loss to the Jazz. This may be the most empty 20 and 10 line of this type we've seen in a while, as the Jazz absolutely murdered the Nuggets on the inside and it wouldn't be surprising if Hickson actually lost playing time in the micro-sense. He needs to put up big popcorn numbers like this to offset his deficiencies in most fantasy categories.

J.J. Hickson had 17 points, eight rebounds, two steals and a block on 6-of-8 shooting in 28 minutes of Tuesday's easy win over the Celtics. Hickson and Kenneth Faried both played well on the same night, which hasn't happened too much recently. In fact, Faried has been hot over his last few games and Faried had scored a total of 13 points over his last two games, before turning it around tonight. But if Faried is ready to finally start playing like the 'Manimal,' it's probably going to have a negative effect on Hickson.
