Aaron Gordon (heel) inactive again Monday for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (heel) is out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Gordon also missed Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs after being listed as probable. His absence creates more playing time for Justin Holiday, Julian Strawther, and Christian Braun. Peyton Watson, who is probable with an illness for the Nuggets' second leg, also stands to benefit with Gordon out.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Nuggets’ implied total (107.75) and the game total (220.5) are both the lowest out of 10 teams and five games on Monday. Holiday played 27.5 minutes and scored 14.9 FanDuel points on Sunday with Gordon inactive. Strawther scored 25.2 FanDuel points in 18.8 minutnes.
