Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) unavailable for Nuggets versus Bucks
Denver Nuggets shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) is out Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
The Nuggets have downgraded all of Caldwell-Pope, Nikola Jokic (hamstring), Jamal Murray (knee), and Michael Porter Jr. (personal) from questionable ahead of Wednesday night's matchup in Milwaukee. As a result, look for Aaron Gordon, Bruce Brown, Christian Braun, and Zeke Nnaji to step into larger roles for Denver. Bones Hyland (finger/hand) is expected to be available, but he may be limited.
Brown is now numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's 10-game slate. He has a $5,900 salary and is projected for 39.6 FanDuel points over 35.9 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Nuggets have the lowest implied total (109.25) on the board, but there is potential value throughout the rotation due to the long injury list.
