Back to bench
Watson won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
With Aaron Gordon (rest/calf) unavailable Saturday, Watson drew a spot start and finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during a 122-113 loss to the Wizards. Gordon is back in the starting lineup Sunday, so Watson will assume his usual reserve role. Watson has scored in double figures only once across nine appearances as a reserve.

Muted effort in spot start
Watson finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Wizards.
Analysis
Watson stepped into Denver's starting lineup for the injured Aaron Gordon (calf) on Saturday, but the former played a muted role on offense while Nikola Jokic went off for a career-high 56 points. In 12 games as a starter this season, Watson is averaging 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 30.8 minutes per contest. If Gordon is unable to suit up for Sunday's tilt with Atlanta, Watson would be worth streaming for defensive stats in fantasy leagues with a likely uptick in playing time in this case.

Starting sans Gordon
Watson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
The Nuggets will be missing Aaron Gordon (calf) and Jamal Murray (hamstring), so Russell Westbrook and Watson will get the nod as replacements. Watson is averaging 12.4 points, 4.2 and 1.6 assists per game in a starting role this season.

Retreats to bench Tuesday
Watson will come off the bench in Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors.
Analysis
Aaron Gordon will reclaim his starting spot, sending Watson to the bench Tuesday. The 22-year-old started in the club's last 11 outings, during which he averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks across 31.2 minutes per game.

Available to play Tuesday
Watson (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis
Watson continues to deal with a groin injury, but that hasn't impacted his availability. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games and has averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in that span. However, it's unclear if he'll remain in the starting unit now that Aaron Gordon (calf) is back.

Still working through groin injury
Watson (groin) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis
Watson has played through groin and hip injuries as of late, but he's expected to play in Tuesday's NBA Cup clash. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games -- coinciding with Aaron Gordon's right calf injury -- and over that span Watson has averaged 12.4 points on 57.4 percent shooting, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks over 31.2 minutes per game.
