Scores team-high 27 points
Gordon amassed 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
Gordon couldn't have asked for a better return to the lineup after sitting out the win over the Spurs on Thursday due to injury management. The veteran forward led the team in scoring and stepped up offensively in a game where Jamal Murray struggled badly on offense (1-14 FG). Gordon has scored at least 23 points in two of his four appearances since coming back from a 17-game absence due to a hamstring problem. The Nuggets are expected to monitor Gordon's workload closely, so it wouldn't be surprising if he pops up on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Will play Saturday
Gordon (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
Gordon sat out Thursday's game against the Spurs while managing a right hamstring injury, and he has been given the green light to play in Saturday's road tilt. He's been inconsistent since returning from a 17-game absence due to his lingering hamstring injury, but he has been a key piece for the Nuggets since he was acquired from the Magic in March 2021. Gordon should find his consistency as he gets more games under his belt over the final weeks of the regular season.

Probable for Saturday

Unavailable Thursday
Gordon (hamstring) is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
Gordon will get the night off after playing in the first leg of Denver's back-to-back Wednesday against Houston. The Nuggets figure to lean more heavily on Spencer Jones and Tim Hardaway in Gordon's absence.

Listed as questionable
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
The Nuggets are thinking about holding Gordon out for hamstring injury management during the second half of their back-to-back. A potential absence for Gordon would vacate some playing time for the likes of Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Cameron Johnson.

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.
Analysis
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.
