Double-double in defeat
Gordon supplied 23 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 129-126 loss to the Thunder.
Analyse
After a lackluster return Friday following a lengthy absence due to a right hamstring strain, Gordon was more productive in Monday's loss, converting often at the charity stripe and recording a double-double. It marked the forward's fourth double-double of this injury-riddled campaign and his first with points and rebounds since Nov. 17. Gordon's health and productivity moving forward will be a key storyline to monitor for the Nuggets down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Poor production in return
Gordon (hamstring) recorded three points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Friday's 142-103 loss to the Knicks.
Analyse
Returning to action Friday for the first time since Jan. 23 after completing his recovery from his second right hamstring strain of the season, Gordon displayed some rust, as expected. Despite coming up empty from downtown, the 12th-year forward is still shooting 38.9 percent from three-point range on the season, showing that his big jump in efficiency from beyond the arc in 2024-25 (career-high 43.6 percent on 3.4 attempts per game) wasn't a complete outlier. Given his long-term absence, Gordon's production may lag for a few games coming off the hamstring injury, but he should re-emerge as a solid back-end roster option in most 12-team leagues once he's back to playing upper-20s/lower-30s minutes on a regular basis.

Available to play
Gordon (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Analyse
This will be Gordon's first game back since aggravating his hamstring injury Jan. 23, so he'll likely have some heavy minutes restrictions. His return should result in less playing time for Zeke Nnaji and Julian Strawther.

Questionable for Friday
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks.
Analyse
Sam Amick of The Athletic reported Wednesday that Gordon was looking to make his return Friday, so he feels closer to probable than questionable. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Gordon's status closer to tipoff, but if he is able to get back out there, there will be less opportunity for Zeke Nnaji, Cameron Johnson and Julian Strawther.

Eyeing return Friday
Gordon (hamstring) is targeting a return to the Nuggets lineup Friday against the Knicks, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Gordon has been sidelined for Denver's last 16 games after aggravating a right hamstring injury Jan. 23, and while playing in Thursday's game against the Lakers appears to be off the table, the veteran forward may have a shot at being available for the second leg of a back-to-back set. After such a lengthy layoff due to the hamstring injury, Gordon will likely face a strict minutes restriction in his first game back in action and could be brought off the bench.
