According to Mile High Sports' Ryan Blackburn, Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson could return to the lineup in the next two to three weeks from their hamstring issues.
Gordon hasn't played since Jan. 23 after suffering from a right hamstring strain, re-aggravating it after missing the initial portion of the season. He was given a recovery timeline of four to six weeks.
He only appeared in 23 games thus far this season, averaging 17.7 points, 6.2 boards and 2.5 assists.
A left hamstring strain has unfortunately hindered Watson from continuing to go off in this breakout season for Denver.
Before going down since Feb. 4, the forward was averaging career highs in points (14.9), rebounds (4.9), assists (2.0), steals (1.0) and minutes (30.7) in 49 games.
Despite injury concerns throughout their roster, the Nuggets have maintained their spot atop the Western Conference standings. They are currently fourth with a 36-22 record.
