After a terribly slow start to the season, Johnson has looked more comfortable in recent games. He's reached double figures in three of his last four, with Saturday's performance being Johnson's best as a Nugget. Still rostered in 75 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past week. Johnson will look to build on this run when the Nuggets visit Memphis on Sunday.

The Nuggets lost Aaron Gordon to a strained hamstring during Friday's win over the Rockets, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Jones, who started the third quarter in Houston, will remain with the starters to begin Saturday's game. While he's worth picking up in 30-deep leagues, managers in shallower formats can afford to take a conservative approach to adding Jones.

Gordon left Friday's game with a strained right hamstring in the second quarter. He was already dealing with hamstring soreness, most recently sitting out the November 19 win over the Pelicans. However, with the strain, Gordon will likely miss time. Spencer Jones started the third quarter, but he hasn't done enough to merit being streamed. Fantasy managers should focus on Peyton Watson and Cameron Johnson when seeking value in Gordon's absence.
