Tue Apr 7 201517:17Nelson (hip) won't suit up Wednesday against Lakers
Nelson (hip) won't suit up Wednesday against the Lakers, the Denver Post reports.
On Saturday, Nelson suffered a right hip flexor strain, which forced his removal from the game. With Ty Lawson (forearm) expected to return Wednesday, Nelson's absence should allow Randy Foye and Erick Green to handle the rock when Lawson is off the court.

Nelson left Saturday's game with a right hip flexor strain and will not return, the Denver Post reports.
Nelson joins Ty Lawson (forearm) on the bench, and that left rookie Erick Green to start the second half. Lawson seems probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers whether or not Nelson is healthy enough to play.

Nelson is getting a spot start Saturday with Ty Lawson (forearm) sitting out, the Denver Post reports.
Nelson is a good daily option and decent stream option when he gets a spot start in place of Lawson, but Nelson doesn't have good long-term value. Lawson appears likely to play in the Nuggets' next game Wednesday.

Nelson scored 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt) with two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes Saturday.
Nelson is providing some useful numbers of late, averaging 16.7 points, 2.8 three-pointers, and 3.2 assists in just 25 minutes in his last six games, shooting 52 percent from the field. Considering he is shooting just 41 percent over the course of the season, the hot streak will likely cool, but at this point, Nelson is a solid source of triples in his limited minutes.

Nelson (hip) posted 15 points, one rebound, five assists, and one steal in 17 minutes of action Sunday against the Magic.
Nelson is returning from a one-game rest, and it appears he's set to continue playing well. He's averaging 17.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.3 three-pointers made over the last four games and is worth an add in standard leagues.

Nelson (hip) is dressed out for Sunday's game against the Magic but it's still unclear if he's been cleared to play.
Nelson missed Friday's game with a hip injury but was on the court for pregame warmups against the Magic. With his availability still unofficially announced, he's a risky option to use Sunday.
Sat Mar 21 201510:46Nelson (hip) did not play in Friday's game against Heat
Nelson (hip) did not play in Friday's game against the Heat.
Nelson is dealing with a minor hip issue and should be considered day-to-day moving forward. His next opportunity to get on the court will be against the Magic on Sunday.
Fri Mar 20 201512:44Nelson (hip) questionable for Friday's game against Heat
Nelson (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
Nelson suffered a minor hip injury Thursday against Houston, which limited him to 17 minutes. He was still able to finish with 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting, however. Nelson will essentially be a game-time decision Friday, and more information will be available during pregame warmups.

Nelson registered 13 points and one assist in just 17 minutes of action off the bench against the Rockets on Thursday.
Nelson got the start Monday against the Grizzlies but that was because Ty Lawson sat out to rest. With Lawson now back on the court Nelson is confined to a lackluster role off the bench moving forward as evidenced by his minimal 17 minutes of work Thursday.
Thu Mar 19 201520:04Nelson will come off bench for Thursday's game against Rockets
Nelson will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Nelson was inserted into the starting lineup Monday against the Grizzlies but that was only because Ty Lawson was resting. With Lawson back on the court Thursday, Nelson will assume his normal role off the bench.

Nelson scored 24 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt) to go along with five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes Monday against the Grizzlies.
Nelson started Monday with Ty Lawson being rested and was able to contribute for those who selected him in daily leagues. He will have limited value again when Lawson returns, but can be a solid fantasy contributor when given extended playing time.

Nelson will move back to the bench for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, the Denver Post reports.
Nelson got the spot start for Ty Lawson (illness) on Friday but Lawson will regain his spot in the starting lineup Sunday. As a result, Nelson will likely see his workload decrease as he provides backup minutes against the Pelicans.

Nelson started for the ill Ty Lawson Friday and posted 17 points, four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and three three-pointers made in 38 minutes of action.
Lawson isn't expected to miss much time, so Nelson probably won't be hitting 30-plus minutes moving forward. Still, he's averaging 9.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers made in 18 minutes over the last five games. Even in limited minutes, Nelson could be worth owning in 16-man leagues or deeper.
Fri Mar 13 201520:18Nelson will get start Friday
Nelson will get the start Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle's Rusty Simmons reports.
Ty Lawson was a late scratch with an illness, which makes Nelson a strong play in daily leagues if the price is low. He won't do anything too awesome, but he should be able to compile enough stats to warrant a nod, given his likely 30-36 minutes of court time with Lawson out.
Sun Feb 22 201519:45Nelson moved back to bench for Sunday's game against Thunder
Nelson moved back to the bench for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Nelson enjoyed the start against the Bucks on Friday since Ty Lawson (undisclosed) was held off the court, although Nelson is expected to remain on the bench moving forward unless something happens to Lawson in the future.
Sat Feb 21 201503:08Nelson (Achilles) returned from four-game absence Friday
Nelson (Achilles) returned from a four-game absence Friday. He started, scored seven points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), and added four rebounds, seven assists, and one steal in 37 minutes against the Bucks.
This amounts to par for Nelson at this stage of his career. While he still has some value, especially as a passer, his shooting efficiency has been terrible all season - he is averaging just 36 percent from the field.
Fri Feb 20 201520:36Jameer Nelson:(Achilles) Will Start Friday
Nelson (achilles) will start Friday against the Bucks.
Nelson's start comes on the back of Ty Lawson's absence from Wednesday's practice. While it could provide him with a temporary boost in minutes Friday, it likely won't be a long-term situation.
Fri Feb 13 201509:56Nelson will head into All-Star break nursing Achilles injury
Nelson will head into the All-Star break nursing an Achilles injury.
Nelson missed the final four games leading up to the All-Star break but should benefit from the 10 days rest that the Nuggets will get before their next game on Feb. 20 against the Bucks. Perhaps more importantly, the aging veteran has a backup role in Denver and provides limited value behind Ty Lawson.
