Julian Strawther

The Nuggets announce Julian Strawther will be re-evaluated in six weeks after suffering a left knee sprain.

Fantasy Impact

It is a big loss for the Nuggets rotation to begin the season. Cam Johnson and Christian Braun should see more run in his place.

Julian Strawther scored a career-high 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3PT, 3-4 FT), grabbed six rebounds, and added three assists in Denver's 128-118 win over San Antonio on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Strawther helped the Nuggets clinch the third-seed in the Western Conference by pouring in a career-high 25 points on Sunday. His performance broke his previous career-best of 23 points he scored against Philadelphia on January 21, 2025. Strawther ended the regular season with double-digit point totals in each of his last four games and averaged 17.0 points while hitting 11-of-20 (55.0%) from beyond the arc during the stretch. He should be a part of the rotation during Denver's postseason run.

Julian Strawther scored 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3PT, 4-5 FT) to help Denver secure a 120-113 win over the Lakers on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

Strawther didn't do much of anything else, contributing only two rebounds and a steal in 29 minutes of action. He has scored double figures in 10 of his last 13 games and is averaging 12.8 points during the stretch. While he doesn't offer much else to help fantasy owners (2.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists in 40 games this season), he is getting regular playing time and providing some decent scoring lines for owners in deeper leagues.

Julian Strawther is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

Strawther is dealing with a left great toe sprain, but is expected to suit up on Wednesday. Over his last 10 games, he’s averaging 13.1 points, four rebounds, 1.9 assists and one steal in 24 minutes per game.

Julian Strawther scored 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3PT, 0-0 FT) and contributed six rebounds, four assists, and a steal in Denver's lopsided win over Portland on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Strawther has now started five consecutive games and has reached double figures in scoring in seven straight contests. After averaging 4.5 points in his first 26 games, Strawther is posting 15.3 points in eight games this month. Meanwhile, as a starter, he is scoring 17.3 points per game and his 16 shot attempts on Friday were the most by a Denver player. In other words, you may want to walk with a little more urgency to the waiver wire.
