Sees limited run in loss
Pickett (knee) recorded four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and two assists over six minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
After suffering a right knee injury during the Nuggets' Feb. 11 win over the Grizzlies, Pickett ended up missing the team's first two games coming out of the All-Star break. He was cleared to play in each of the subsequent three games, but was left out of the rotation. With Cameron Johnson (ankle) leaving Sunday's contest early, Pickett got the chance to play some minutes, albeit very few. Johnson is likely to miss the second leg of the back-to-back set Monday in Utah, but Pickett shouldn't be expected to see enough playing time to make for an appealing streaming option.
