Rivers (hip) is available for Sunday's game versus Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers was considered probable, so it's hardly a surprise he'll be suiting up against the Nets. The 29-year-old has averaged 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 21.8 minutes while shooting 28.6 percent from the field over the past four games.

Rivers is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Nets due to right hip flexor tightness.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers has struggled lately, as he's shot just 28.6 percent from the field for 4.0 points across the past four games. He'll look to correct that Sunday despite the sore hip.

Rivers will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Aaron Gordon currently dealing with a sore left hamstring, Rivers will take his place in the starting lineup on Wednesday for the second half of Denver's back-to-back set. The 29-year-old is averaging 6.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 21.3 minutes per game this season.

Rivers accumulated 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 116-105 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
With Will Barton (illness) sidelined, Rivers drew his 12th start of the season. The veteran point guard was efficient from the field en route to his 11th double-digit scoring outing of the season. When Barton eventually returns to the lineup, Rivers will likely compete with Bryn Forbes for backup minutes. As a reserve, Rivers has averaged 6.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 17.5 minutes, which isn't enough production to be worthy of fantasy consideration.

Rivers totaled 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 117-111 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers returned to the starting lineup Sunday but was unable to produce a 12-team worthy line. The 34 minutes is certainly encouraging but as we know from previous campaigns, Rivers is nothing more than a situational streaming option, and even that is a bit of a stretch. Fantasy managers are typically better served to take a flier on a player with at least a skerrick of upside.

Rivers will start Sunday's game against the Pistons, Mike Singer of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jeff Green (quad) and JaMychal Green (COVID-19 protocols) both sidelined, in addition to Bones Hyland (illness), the Nuggets will go with Rivers at shooting guard alongside Monte Morris, Will Barton, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. Rivers did not see the floor in Friday's game against the Grizzlies, though he did play seven minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Clippers.

Rivers (non-COVID illness) participated in Tuesday's practice, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers has missed back-to-back games due to a non-COVID illness, but after practicing Tuesday, it appears he will likely be able to suit up Wednesday. The Nuggets' backcourt is actually near full strength, so the veteran point guard will have to compete for backup minutes with Facundo Campazzo and Bones Hyland.

Rivers (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers missed Saturday's matchup with the Lakers due to the non-COVID illness, and he's questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set. Davon Reed could see more run if Rivers is out again Sunday.
