Watson won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With Aaron Gordon (rest/calf) unavailable Saturday, Watson drew a spot start and finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during a 122-113 loss to the Wizards. Gordon is back in the starting lineup Sunday, so Watson will assume his usual reserve role. Watson has scored in double figures only once across nine appearances as a reserve.

Watson finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Watson stepped into Denver's starting lineup for the injured Aaron Gordon (calf) on Saturday, but he played a muted role on offense while Nikola Jokic went off for a career-high 56 points. In 12 games as a starter this season, Watson is averaging 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes per contest. If Gordon is unable to suit up for Sunday's tilt with Atlanta, Watson would be worth streaming for defensive stats in fantasy leagues with a likely uptick in playing time in this case.

Watson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets will be missing Aaron Gordon (calf) and Jamal Murray (hamstring), so Russell Westbrook and Watson will get the nod as replacements. Watson is averaging 12.4 points, 4.2 and 1.6 assists per game in a starting role this season.

Watson will come off the bench in Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Aaron Gordon will reclaim his starting spot, sending Watson to the bench Tuesday. The 22-year-old started in the club's last 11 outings, during which he averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks across 31.2 minutes per game.

Watson (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Watson continues to deal with a groin injury, but that hasn't impacted his availability. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games and has averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in that span. However, it's unclear if he'll remain in the starting unit now that Aaron Gordon (calf) is back.

Watson (groin) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Watson has played through groin and hip injuries as of late, but he's expected to play in Tuesday's NBA Cup clash. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games -- coinciding with Aaron Gordon's right calf injury -- and over that span Watson has averaged 12.4 points on 57.4 percent shooting, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks over 31.2 minutes per game.

Watson (groin) will play during Sunday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Watson will officially be available after being deemed probable ahead of game time due to an adductor strain. Watson has had a prominent role for Denver this season, but with Aaron Gordon (calf) back in the lineup, it wouldn't be surprising for Watson's playing time to take a hit.

Watson is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers with a right adductor strain.

EDGE Analysis

Watson has been dealing with an adductor strain for quite some time, but that hasn't prevented the third-year forward from making 10 starts in a row. The probable tag suggests he should remain in the starting unit, especially with Aaron Gordon (calf) listed as doubtful. Watson is averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game since moving to a starting role.

Watson (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Watson has started in each of the Nuggets' last nine games, and he's expected to remain in the first unit now that he's been deemed available to play. The third-year veteran is averaging 12.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game as a starter in place of Aaron Gordon (calf).

Watson (hip) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Watson was also listed as probable ahead of Denver's previous contest due to a right adductor strain before being upgraded to available. If Watson is able to suit up against Utah, he will likely make his 10th straight start.
