Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Denver's previous 13 outings due to a sprained right knee, Watson's questionable tag indicates that he is nearing a return to action. However, the 22-year-old forward will likely operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available.

The Nuggets announced Monday that Watson will be re-evaluated in four weeks due to a right knee sprain he picked up against the 76ers on Jan. 31, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a tough blow for Denver, as Watson is a key part of their second unit. Watson has averaged 24.1 minutes across 48 regular-season contests with 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks. With Watson set for an extended absence, Julian Strawther is a candidate to step into a larger role for Denver.

EDGE Analysis

After getting listed as probable with a head contusion, Watson has been given the green light to suit up for the Nuggets on Tuesday. Across his last eight games, the versatile 22-year-old wing has averaged 8.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 25.6 minutes.

Watson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Magic due to a head contusion.

EDGE Analysis

The status of Watson for the rest of the game is uncertain, though it wouldn't be surprising to see the Nuggets take a cautious approach and shut him down for the night. Watson posted four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three blocks, two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes before checking out of the contest with 3:23 remaining in the second quarter.

Watson provided 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 124-105 victory over Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

Watson took only five shot attempts, but he made solid contributions in secondary categories in the victory. The Nuggets have a lot invested in Watson, but many forget that he entered the league following limited action in the college ranks and is still considered a developmental project for the team. Nonetheless, he's seeing significant action this season, averaging a career-high 24.7 minutes per game.

Watson racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nikola Jokic (illness) sat out Tuesday, and Watson was able to take advantage of some extra touches. He's been a serviceable streamer in the absence of Aaron Gordon (calf), posting averages of 10.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 three-pointers over his last seven outings.

Watson totaled 18 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 149-135 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets were without Aaron Gordon (calf) for this matchup Friday, but Watson still came off the bench, although he took advantage of his minutes out there to deliver an efficient scoring outing. Watson has scored in double digits in just two of his last 10 appearances, however, so it's hard to trust him to deliver sustained fantasy production, especially if he continues to play off the bench going forward.
