Aaron Gordon

Jones was forced to exit Wednesday's win over the Pacers with a sore right knee. Due to Aaron Gordon's absence, the second-year forward has been in the starting lineup, providing solid streaming value. If Jones can't play on Friday, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown have the most to gain regarding playing time. Zeke Nnaji could also pick up a few more minutes, but Hardaway and Brown are the players to consider adding.

One game removed from scoring a career-high 28 points, Jones was limited to 17 minutes before exiting Wednesday's contest with a sore right knee. With Aaron Gordon already out, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown took on more prominent roles within the Nuggets' rotation after Jones' exit. That will be the case if he can't play on Friday against the Hawks.

Gordon is averaging a career-high 18.8 points per game

Nuggets starting forward Aaron Gordon has a Grade 2 strain of his right hamstring, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. Gordon will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks.

It was evident how much Denver missed the glue that is Gordon's game in Saturday night's loss to the Kings.
