EDGE Analysis

Watson scored 13 points in the loss, logging a season-high 26 minutes. He played over Aaron Gordon here, a situation worth monitoring moving forward.

Watson isn't someone who needs to be prioritized in standard leagues but is worth keeping an eye on.

EDGE Analysis

As his probable tag suggested, Watson will be available for Denver in this game. However, the Nuggets will be depleted since they'll be missing key contributors such as Nikola Jokic (back), Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (heel), just to name a few. Watson should see an uptick in his minutes as a result.
