Peyton Watson scores 19 points Thursday night

Peyton Watson scored 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-3 3PT, 3-6 FT) to help Denver to a 107-103 win over Brooklyn on Thursday. He added three assists, two rebounds, and two blocks.

Fantasy Impact

Watson has now reached double figures in 17 consecutive games as he has really heated up over the last month. After averaging 11.2 points in his first 31 games, Watson is averaging 22.5 points in 14 January games while chipping in 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.6 blocks. He'll likely continue posting these types of numbers, at least, until the Nuggets get healthy.

Peyton Watson inefficient in loss Tuesday

Peyton Watson scored 13 points (6-20 FG, 1-6 3PT) and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 109-107 loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Watson had a rather underwhelming game on Tuesday, scoring just 13 points on subpar shooting splits in what turned out to be a loss to the Pistons. He has shown a lot of game-to-game upside recently, however, and fantasy managers should continue to start him with confidence for however long Aaron Gordon (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Denver.

Peyton Watson (ankle) probable for Tuesday

Peyton Watson (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Watson should be available to play on Tuesday, despite missing Denver's last game due to an ankle injury that he's dealing with. He should continue to be a great fantasy option for the foreseeable future with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Nikola Jokic (knee) both currently sidelined.
