Pickett (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett has been dealing with right knee soreness but is set to suit up after being listed as probable. He has struggled to secure a consistent role in Denver's rotation, averaging limited minutes in recent appearances, and his availability is unlikely to significantly impact most fantasy formats.

Pickett is probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett has struggled to see regular playing time of late, so his potential absence may not be much of a factor in most fantasy formats. He's averaging just 2.6 points and 0.8 rebounds across 11.4 minutes per game in five appearances (two starts) since the beginning of February.

Pickett (knee) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Clippers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett has officially been cleared to suit up Thursday despite dealing with right knee soreness. He's hardly cracked the rotation of late and is averaging 2.0 points in 9.7 minutes over his last three outings.

Pickett (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett left the Nuggets' final game before the All-Star break due to soreness in his right knee. He seemingly avoided any sort of significant injury, and he's expected to play in Thursday's opening leg of a back-to-back set. Spencer Jones (concussion) will be available Thursday, which means Pickett isn't guaranteed a spot in the rotation.

Pickett (knee) did not return to Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett left the contest in the second quarter due to right knee soreness and was called questionable to return by the Nuggets. Before exiting, the third-year guard posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across nine minutes. He'll have the full All-Star break to rest before Denver's next game, which will come Feb. 19 against the Clippers.

Pickett is considered questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Memphis due to right knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett picked up a seemingly minor knee injury during Wednesday's game, and the issue could prevent him from returning. While Pickett is sidelined, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway could pick up more minutes.

Pickett (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Nuggets' 134-127 double-overtime loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
After playing just 10 minutes -- his fewest since the calendar flipped to 2026 -- in Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons, Pickett was dropped from the starting five and moved out of the rotation entirely for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Pickett's absence from the rotation may prove to be short-lived, however. Both Spencer Jones (head) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) exited the game early and didn't return, which could reopen an opportunity for Pickett if neither injured player is able to play in the Nuggets' next game Saturday in Chicago.

Pickett is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Knicks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett has started in 17 of the Nuggets' last 19 games, but he has failed to score in three of his last four outings while going 3-for-14 from the field (and 1-for-11 from three-point range) over that span. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's contest while Spencer Jones enters the Nuggets' starting five.

Pickett posted zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Pickett remained in the starting lineup, yet he once again failed to make the most of his opportunity. He has now failed to score in three of the past four games, typically playing minutes in the mid-teens. Despite his starting role, Pickett is not someone who needs to be considered outside of the deepest fantasy leagues.
