Strawther finished Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther scored in double digits for the first time in the past five games, and for just the fifth time this season. With Spencer Jones nearing his games-allowed limit, Strawther was able to play a meaningful role, something that can't be said for his season thus far. At this point, Strawther is simply a name to watch, just in case Denver doesn't convert Jones' contract.

Strawther won't start against the Pistons on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Jamal Murray (hamstring/hip) back in the lineup, Strawther will shift back to a bench role. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 23-year-old swingman has averaged 4.2 points in 11.8 minutes per tilt.

Strawther logged 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 102-100 win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther made his first start of the season with Jamal Murray (hamstring/hip), Christian Braun (ankle) and Peyton Watson (ankle) sidelined and capitalized on the opportunity by leading Denver in scoring during a win. The Gonzaga product entered Friday averaging just 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 9.7 minutes across 22 appearances, inconsistently factoring into the regular rotation. While his usage is likely to dip as the Nuggets get healthier, outings like this can help keep Strawther in the mix for minutes moving forward.

Strawther will start Friday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

With the Nuggets shorthanded on the second night of a back-to-back set, Strawther will get the starting nod for the first time this season. He's averaging 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in just 9.7 minutes per game, though he should see a significant uptick in playing time Friday.

Strawther finished Sunday's 110-87 loss to the Hornets with 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther played his most minutes since Nov. 8 in Sunday's blowout loss to the Hornets. The 23-year-old forward took advantage of his increased reps, scoring a season-high 15 points. Strawther hasn't been a consistent part of Denver's rotation, even with the team dealing with multiple injuries, averaging just 10.9 minutes per game since December.

Strawther accumulated zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes during Friday's 110-87 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther was back in the rotation, albeit for just 10 minutes. He has played only three times in Denver's past six games, averaging 2.0 points in 10.3 minutes per contest. At this point, there is no reason to consider rostering him outside of very deep leagues.

Strawther (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Strawther will suit up after being listed as probable. While he hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation all season long, the third-year wing is a candidate for extra run due to the Nuggets being extremely shorthanded for the next few games.

Strawther (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther is averaging 11.0 minutes per game over his last seven outings, so this news won't have a big impact in fantasy hoops.

Strawther (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Strawther will shake off his probable tag due to an illness and play Wednesday. Over his last five outings, the 23-year-old forward has averaged 5.0 points and 1.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per tilt.

Strawther is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther is likely to play through an illness, but his presence hasn't caused major waves in the Denver rotation. He hasn't played at least 20 minutes since the Nov. 8 win over the Pacers.
