He brings energy and hustle, but he lacks skills that the other guys in front of him have. Austin Rivers and P. Dozier both offer more size which makes them better defensive matchups.
Bones makes teams think more about leaving him open which leaves more space for everyone else to work. Knowlton: I like the minutes PJ is getting but I would like to see him more ingratiated in the offense.
His shot looks better than it ever has and he doesn't seem to be forcing things and turning the ball over as much. Levy: After last game, give Zeke Nnaji some run please. Bridgford: Dozier is the guy that I think needs different minutes more so than he needs more minutes. I think Dozier sliding into the starting lineup with Monte Morris going to the bench makes a lot of sense for a couple of reasons.
For one, Dozier is a better defender, and his length allows him to bother players and switch onto bigger guards than Morris.
However, the fit between the two units would make a lot more sense if you swapped the lineups they were running with. Additionally, Dozier playing off of Jokic and Barton would allow him more room to get his shot off or drive to the rim where he could get himself going on the offensive end.
Denver will be without MPJ for an unidentified period of time so they most likely will not be at full strength. The only reason for concern during this stretch would be if they only win two or three out of those eight games. The fans and the team understand how resilient the Nuggets are and it was proven again yesterday against Indiana. I think the most important part of that stretch is to get some shooting confidence from outside. If Denver can make some more three-pointers against good teams, I think that breeds confidence for the rest of the season.
Bridgford: I side with Tommy a lot here with a slight variation. This stretch needs to have guys start hitting their shots, but Denver needs to still remain competitive in these games.

Cancar has yet to play this season. His next chance to suit up will be Friday, when the Nuggets take on the Hawks. Morris has played in every game this season, but he landed on the injury report Tuesday with right patellar tendinopathy. However, he will likely be available Wednesday. The point guard has taken over the starting duties with Jamal Murray knee sidelined and is averaging Earlier Tuesday afternoon, coach Mike Malone told the media that he expected Porter to be listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest, but that seemingly ran contrary to his comments from earlier in the week, when he said he thought Porter would be out "for the foreseeable future.
For now, Porter hasn't been ruled out beyond Wednesday, but fantasy managers should brace for the talented young forward to potentially miss several games.
Malone's comments were seemingly an about-face from what he suggested about Porter's injury Monday, when he said the year-old forward would be out for the "foreseeable future" due to his back injury. Despite receiving the "questionable" label a day later, Porter is still more likely than not to sit out Wednesday, and fantasy managers shouldn't count on him returning to the court later this week, given his history of back problems.
Malone noted that vice president of sports medicine Steve Short and the Nuggets team doctors are continuing to decide the best course of action for Porter, so Denver could be inclined to evaluate his status on a game-by-game basis. Hyland tallied six points FG, 3Pt, FT , two steals, one rebound, one assist and one block in 16 minutes off the bench Monday in the Nuggets ' win over the Heat.
Hyland opened the season outside of the Denver rotation, but poor play from the likes of Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo has compelled head coach Michael Malone to give the rookie first-round selection a look. While Hyland's Hyland could be one of several Nuggets that take on an increased role offensively while Michael Porter back is out indefinitely.
