Drills two triples
Gordon ended with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 win over the Celtics.
Analysis
Gordon is getting back up to speed after returning from a hamstring injury, and he took another step in the right direction Wednesday night. He's scored in double figures off the bench in each of his first two games back and saw his workload increase to 23 minutes in Boston. It's unclear when Gordon will be released from a minutes limit, but Peyton Watson should continue to benefit until that time comes.

Available to play
Gordon (hamstring) will play Wednesday in Boston.
Analysis
Gordon sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday, but he'll be back in action Wednesday evening. Gordon will again come off the bench in an effort to monitor his minutes, so while he should be activated in season-long formats, he's a risky target in daily fantasy leagues.

Probable for Wednesday
Gordon (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Analysis
Gordon is trending in the right direction after previously carrying a questionable tag. During Monday's game versus the 76ers, Gordon was held out for injury maintenance for the second leg of the back-to-back set. With Gordon expected back, guys like Peyton Watson, Spencer Jones and Hunter Tyson will likely see their fantasy appeal take a hit.

Questionable for Wednesday
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Analysis
Gordon remains day-to-day after getting a maintenance day Monday versus the 76ers. With Gordon out of the lineup Monday, Peyton Watson put on an offensive clinic for Denver, and guys like Hunter Tyson and Spencer Jones saw more reps as well.

Won't play Monday
Gordon is out for Monday's game against the 76ers due to right hamstring injury management.
Analysis
Gordon's absence comes as little surprise after he made his first appearance since Nov. 21 in Sunday's game against the Nets. He looked sharp in the 127-115 loss, finishing with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes off the bench. Though Gordon will take a seat for the second leg of a back-to-back set, he'll presumably return to action Wednesday in Boston.

Posts 20 points off bench in return
Gordon (hamstring) racked up 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.
Analysis
The Nuggets opted to have Gordon come off the bench in his first appearance since Nov. 21 due to a hamstring strain, though the veteran forward picked up right where he left off before going down. Gordon is now averaging 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per tilt through 14 regular-season games, shooting 53.3 percent from the field. Given DaRon Holmes' lack of experience as a starter, it wouldn't be surprising if Gordon soon made his way back into the first unit at center to plug the hole left behind by Nikola Jokic's (knee) absence.

Will play Sunday
Gordon (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game in Brooklyn.
Analysis
Gordon hasn't played since Nov. 21, so he'll be eased back into things in his first game back with a reserve role and some minutes restrictions, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him skip Monday's game in Philadelphia. With Gordon back in the mix, Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones' minutes could dip.

Questionable for Sunday
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Gordon hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, but he joined the Nuggets on the road trip and is due back any day now. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so he may only play in one of these games if he gets the green light.
