Peyton Watson is set to return for the Denver Nuggets on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers after a six-week absence due to a hamstring strain, according to sources. The Nuggets list him as questionable on their injury report. Watson's return means the Nuggets could finally have their full roster available for the first time this season. Key players like three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, and Christian Braun have also faced injuries this year. Before his injury during a February 4 loss to the New York Knicks, Watson was enjoying a breakout season, averaging career highs of 21.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game. After a victory over the Toronto Raptors, the Nuggets hold a 43-28 record, sitting at No. 5 in the Western Conference with just 11 games left in the regular season.
