Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Sits out for Canada
Murray did not participate in Canada's latest FIBA World Cup qualifying window as he turns his attention toward the upcoming NBA season.
Murray is coming off a standout 2025-26 campaign with Denver in which he earned his first All-Star and All-NBA selections of his career. The veteran guard remains firmly entrenched as the Nuggets' No. 2 offensive option alongside Nikola Jokic and should continue carrying a substantial scoring and playmaking workload in 2026-27.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Battling illness with Serbia
Jokic (illness) registered eight points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Serbia's 76-64 win over Italy in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
Jokic has been playing through an illness for the Serbian national team, per Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com, so he hasn't been looking like his usual dominant self on the court. The perennial MVP candidate figures to be well past whatever's ailing him come time for training camp with the Nuggets later this fall, and he's paralleled by only Victor Wembanyama in discussions for the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy circles.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Modest line in win
Jokic recorded six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, six assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Serbia's 102-73 win over Iceland in Friday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
Jokic attempted only seven shots but impacted the game in his usual fashion as a rebounder and facilitator. The 31-year-old averaged a triple-double for the second consecutive regular season in 2025-26, posting 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game while finishing second in MVP voting. Denver has reshaped the supporting cast around him this offseason, but Jokic remains the unquestioned centerpiece of the offense and should once again be among the first players selected in virtually every fantasy format in 2026-27.

Nuggets' Bryce Hopkins: Signs two-way deal
Hopkins signed a two-way contract with Denver on Wednesday.
Hopkins was the No. 49 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. With this transaction, he will be allowed to develop at his own pace with a lot of reps in the G League.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Nuggets add around him
The Nuggets added another playmaker with the signing of DeMar DeRozan on Friday to pair alongside Jokic to help handle the offensive pressure in 2026-27.
Jokic averaged a triple-double for the second straight season in 2025-26, though it's possible the addition of DeRozan slightly cuts into his ball-handling responsibilities. Regardless, the presence of DeRozan, a six-time All-Star, as opposed to the more defensive-minded Peyton Watson, should aid Jokic's efficiency as well as his ability to find open looks all around the court in 2026-27.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Denver adds another playmaker
The Nuggets signed DeMar DeRozan on Friday, giving Murray another competitor for usage in 2026-27.
There could be a tighter squeeze for usage in Denver this season, as DeRozan is effectively replacing the more defensive-minded Peyton Watson on the roster. Murray should remain the team's clear-cut No. 2 scoring option behind Nikola Jokic, but it remains to be seen if the addition of DeRozan, who should compete for a starting job during training camp, will adversely impact Murray's productivity.

Nuggets' Lonnie Walker: Set to battle for bench role
Walker has a chance to compete for a bench role at training camp after Denver shipped Peyton Watson to the Cavaliers.
Walker is returning to the States in 2026-27 after playing in the EuroLeague last season, but it remains to be seen if he'll be part of the Nuggets' Opening Night rotation. He'll be battling primarily with rookie Alpha Diallo for playing time as a reserve this year, as Watson's exit creates a significant void for Denver.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Could play expanded role
Jones should open the new year in a significant role for the Nuggets after Peyton Watson was dealt to the Cavaliers.
The Nuggets made an effort to keep Jones this offseason, matching the Thunder's two-year, $12 million offer sheet, and the forward should occupy a key reserve role off the bench now that Watson is out of the mix. Jones made 64 regular-season appearances (37 starts) in 2025-26, averaging 5.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 22.1 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Set for big role again
Gordon (calf) could see more usage for Denver in 2026-27 after Peyton Watson was shipped to Cleveland.
Much like teammates Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson, Gordon experienced an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign but maintained strong productivity when healthy. Gordon averaged 16.2 points, his most since his time with Orlando, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game over 36 regular-season appearances, and Watson's departure presents one less obstacle for usage.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Role solidified for 2026-27
Johnson looks to be solidified as a starter for Denver in 2026-27 after Peyton Watson was dealt to Cleveland.
Johnson's debut season with Denver may have been a disappointment, but he still started all 54 of his regular-season appearances. The 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers per game he averaged were his lowest since his days with the Suns, but Johnson did shoot a career-high 43.0 percent from deep last year and should continue to find plenty of open looks playing alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Locked in as starter
Braun appears cemented as a starter for the Nuggets in 2026-27 after Peyton Watson was traded to Cleveland.
Despite playing a career-low 44 regular-season games, Braun was a full-time starter last year and should be locked into a similar role this season. The swingman is searching for a bounce-back campaign, closing last regular season with averages of 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 31.8 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Opportunity for larger role
Strawther could play an expanded role for the Nuggets in 2026-27 after Peyton Watson was traded to the Cavaliers.
Strawther is still ticketed for a bench role this season, even with Watson now out of the picture, but his playing time could be more consistent after finishing last postseason outside the rotation. The sharpshooter averaged 7.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 15.1 minutes per game over 57 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

Nuggets' Julian Reese: Headed to Denver
The Wizards traded Reese to the Nuggets on Wednesday, and he's expected to be waived by Denver, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
It appears Reese will head to free agency once this trade is finalized. Over 13 games with the Wizards last season, Reese averaged 11.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
