Still out with hamstring strain
Watson (hamstring) is out for Game 6 of the Western Conference first-round series against Minnesota on Thursday.
Analysis
Watson's absence with a right hamstring strain will have now exceeded a month by the time Denver's next contest comes around. If the Nuggets are able to stave off elimination Thursday, Watson's next chance to take the floor would come Saturday in Game 7.

Still out
Watson (hamstring) is out for Monday's Game 5 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves.

Ruled out for Game 4
Watson is out for Game 4 on Saturday against Minnesota.
Analysis
Watson will be on the sidelines for a ninth consecutive contest Saturday due to a left hamstring strain, and it doesn't appear that the fourth-year forward is close to returning. The Nuggets should continue to depend more heavily on Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson on the wing Saturday.
