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 Strawther: Moves outside of rotation
Strawther (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Nuggets' 119-114 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of a first-round playoff series.
Strawther appeared in each of the Nuggets' final 11 regular-season games and averaged 8.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.3 assists in 15.5 minutes per contest over that stretch. However, head coach David Adelman has dropped the third-year wing from Denver's rotation for both of the team's first two postseason contests. Unless Denver loses one of its key players to injury at some point during its playoff run, Strawther's opportunities could be largely limited to garbage-time scenarios.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Coming off bench for Game 1
Strawther is not in Denver's starting lineup against Minnesota for Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Saturday.
Strawther started in each of the Nuggets' final two games of the regular season and averaged 23.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.5 steals over 34.0 minutes. He'll come off the bench for Saturday's game while the Nuggets roll with a starting five of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Cameron Johnson, Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Scores 25 vs. San Antonio
Strawther notched 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 win over San Antonio.
Strawther made a strong case to be considered for playing time in the postseason after scoring 22 points against the Thunder and 25 against the Spurs on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Strawther should return to his regular bench in the playoffs, though. He ends the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 7.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while starting in 14 of his 57 appearances.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Starting vs. OKC
Strawther will start Friday's game against the Thunder, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Denver will be without its usual starting five Friday, opening the door for Strawther to rejoin the first unit. As a starter this season (12 games), the 23-year-old swingman has averaged 13.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.2 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Hits for 18 against Lakers
Strawther closed Thursday's 120-113 victory over the Lakers with 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes.
The third-year forward has started 11 straight games dating back to Feb. 7, but Strawther's production has been erratic of late as he's scored in single digits in three of the last six. Over that 11-game stretch, he's averaging 12.7 points, 2.6 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.0 minutes. Strawther's role is likely to be reduced when Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Cameron Johnson (ankle) return to action.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Posts 15 points in victory
Strawther amassed 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 29 minutes during Monday's 128-125 victory over Utah.
Strawther depended on shot volume during the win, as he barely made a dent in secondary categories over 29 minutes on the floor. The third-year pro has logged 10 consecutive starts amid Denver's injury woes, averaging 12.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Playing Friday
Strawther (toe) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Strawther has been on the Nuggets' injury report as of late while working through a left toe sprain, but the issue has not been severe enough for him to miss any time, and he'll suit up for Friday's contest. Strawther has started in each of Denver's last seven games and has averaged 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 26.4 minutes per contest over that span.

Strawther is probable for Friday's game against the Thunder with a left toe sprain.
Strawther is primed to play through the injury Friday, and he's worth considering as a streamer. The sharpshooter has started seven consecutive games, averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per tilt.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Probable for Wednesday

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Pops for 19 in Friday's rout
Strawther ended Friday's 157-103 win over the Trail Blazers with 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes.
Seven different Nuggets scored in double digits as the team set a new franchise record for points in a road game. Strawther has scored 10-plus points in seven straight games, including five straight starts since Peyton Watson (hamstring) was sidelined. Since joining the starting five, Strawther is averaging 17.4 points, 3.8 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.2 minutes.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Logs 20 points in second start
Strawther closed Monday's 119-117 loss to the Cavaliers with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and six rebounds over 29 minutes.
Strawther put together another solid number in his second start of the season. He's coming in handy as a placeholder amid absences from Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (concussion). Jones may return before the All-Star break, which may send Strawther back to the bench.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Starting Saturday
Strawther will start against the Bulls on Saturday.
The 23-year-old wing will get the starting nod for the second time this season due to Aaron Gordon (hamstring), Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (concussion) being sidelined. During his lone start this season in a Jan. 23 win over Milwaukee, Strawther posted 20 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Drops 15 points in loss
Strawther finished Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes.
Strawther scored in double digits for the first time in the past five games, and for just the fifth time this season. With Spencer Jones nearing his games-allowed limit, Strawther was able to play a meaningful role, something that can't be said for his season thus far. At this point, Strawther is simply a name to watch, just in case Denver doesn't convert Jones' contract.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Not starting Tuesday
Strawther won't start against the Pistons on Tuesday.
With Jamal Murray (hamstring/hip) back in the lineup, Strawther will shift back to a bench role. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 23-year-old swingman has averaged 4.2 points in 11.8 minutes per tilt.
