Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Another intriguing performance
Watson closed with 10 points 3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 23 minutes during Friday's 109-107 loss to Portland.
Watson continues to turn some heads, playing at least 23 minutes for the third consecutive game. In that span, he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.0 blocks, putting him firmly on the radar, even in standard fantasy formats. He is more of a deep-league target at this point but someone to monitor closely elsewhere, just in case his role increases at some point.

Watson provided five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 122-88 win over the Pelicans.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Leads Denver with 15 points
Watson registered 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 25 minutes during the Nuggets' 94-91 preseason loss to the Thunder on Friday.
Watson made his second start of the preseason Friday due to the absence of Aaron Gordon (rest). Watson took advantage of the additional playing time as he led the Nuggets in points while finishing tied with Cameron Johnson for most rebounds and assists. Watson came off the bench for the majority of the 2024-25 season but would be the top option to enter the starting lineup if Gordon were to ever miss time during the regular season.
