Available to play
Pickett (shin) is available for Wednesday's game in Boston. He will come off the bench.
Analysis
Pickett logged 42 minutes as a starter during Monday's win over the 76ers, but the Nuggets were missing Christian Braun (illness), Aaron Gordon (rest), Tim Hardaway (illness) and Jamal Murray (illness) for that one. All the aforementioned players have been cleared for Wednesday's game, so Pickett will likely be returning to a reserve role with minutes in the teens.

Probable for Wednesday
Pickett is probable for Wednesday's game versus Boston with a left shin contusion.
Analysis
Pickett was a late addition to the injury report, but it sounds like he will give it a go. Pickett recorded 29 points (11-20 FG, 7-11 3Pt), five rebounds and seven assists in 42 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime win over Philadelphia, but the Nuggets are expected to get Jamal Murray (ankle) and several other key players back in the mix Wednesday.

Monster outing in win
Pickett accumulated 29 points (11-20 FG, 7-11 3Pt), five rebounds and seven assists in 42 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime win over Philadelphia.
Analysis
With Jamal Murray (ankle) getting a maintenance day on the second leg of this back-to-back set, among several other key players, Pickett drew the start and put up quite the performance as the Nuggets pulled out the win. Pickett really struggled in his previous three starts this season, posting averages of 7.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.

Back with first unit
Pickett is starting Monday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Pickett will return to the starting lineup to make his third start in four games. The Nuggets have only nine active players Monday, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Pickett to pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Rejoins reserves
Pickett will come off the bench for Sunday's game against Brooklyn.
Analysis
Christian Braun (ankle) is back in action Sunday, which brings Pickett's two-game stint with the starters to an end. Pickett logged nine and 10 points across the two starts. He'll be a fringe rotation piece going forward.
