Game Total 233Key Storylines
Possible probable problem – Alliteration!!!! OK. The Nuggets have Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. listed as probable. Yep, that is their entire starting lineup. Does this mean anything? Probably not. But, the definition of the word leaves room for doubt. In fantasy, no one is in until they’re on the court. We all know how teams love to jerk the chain around with the injury report. Just look at the Anthony Black news from yesterday. He was starting, then not starting, then he did not even play in the game. Ivica Zubac a couple of days ago was in, then out, then back in a matter of 30 minutes. The moral of these two stories? Watch the injury news like Trae Young (a hawk) and DOUBLE VERIFY! Don’t just take one Twitter account’s word for it. Look for confirmation from other sources. Luckily for you, we here at SprotsEthos do that for you so just check out our injury report at the top of this article for the best injury news around.
Embiid is OK – he is off the injury report for this one so the expectation laid out post-game last night from Nick Nurse is coming true. The fact that Embiid is well enough to play in the second half of a B2B should lay to rest any health concerns managers may have had. If Embiid is going to overtake Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the top 9-cat player this season, he is going to have to get his turnovers under control. He is averaging 3.9 of them per game this year, up from the low 3’s managers are used to seeing from the star big man. It is not a crazy increase by any means but it is the difference between the best and second-best 9-cat player.
