Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Makes garbage-time cameo in Game 7
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) played the final 9:36 of Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals, scoring five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and adding three rebounds and one assist.
Tyson had missed the previous three games of the series due to a right ankle sprain, though the second-year forward hadn't been part of the Nuggets' postseason rotation anyway. He was able to get some run in Game 7, though he didn't check into the game until the Thunder had built a 32-point lead. Tyson finished the regular season with averages of 2.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 7.8 minutes per contest while shooting 37.5 percent from the field in 51 appearances (two starts).

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Questionable for series finale
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.
Tyson has missed the last three games of the series due to a right ankle sprain. Even if he's upgraded to available, he isn't expected to play a significant role in the rotation. Tyson has averaged a mere 5.3 minutes per game across four postseason appearances.

Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.
Tyson was a late scratch before Sunday's Game 4 loss due to a sprained right ankle, and he'll miss Tuesday's Game 5 as well. However, the 24-year-old's absence shouldn't cause significant waves in the club's rotation.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Tyson has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain.
Tyson was a late addition to the injury report after presumably twisting his ankle during warmups. He didn't appear in Games 1 or 3 but saw 12 minutes during Denver's Game 2 blowout loss, posting eight points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal.

Rotowire
Tyson finished Thursday's 117-83 loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in five minutes.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Returning to second unit
Rotowire
Tyson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors.
The Nuggets rested their entire starting unit against the Spurs on Wednesday but will be close to full strength for this contest, so Tyson will return to his regular role on the bench. He should see decent minutes with the second unit, but likely not enough to make a significant impact in fantasy.
Tyson ended Wednesday's 113-106 loss to San Antonio with 18 points (7-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds across 30 minutes.
Tyson made his second start of the season Wednesday, recording a career-high in points, shot attempts and minutes played. With Denver ravaged by injuries and forwards Aaron Gordon (calf), Michael Porter (personal), Peyton Watson (knee) and Julian Strawther (knee) all inactive, the 2023 second-round pick stepped up and took on a significant role. Tyson is likely to revert back to a reserve role, health permitting.
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
The Nuggets are resting all of their regular starters on Wednesday, so Tyson will get the chance to handle an expanded role in this contest. Tyson has made just one start this season, logging 20 minutes in a win over the Warriors on March 17 and finishing with nine points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Back to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Tyson will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Tyson will return to a bench role Wednesday after making the first start of his NBA career in Monday's win against the Warriors. The Clemson product hasn't had a significant role with Denver this season, averaging 7.6 minutes per game. He likely won't have much of a fantasy impact returning to the second unit.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Fares well as starter
Rotowire
Tyson ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors.
Christian Braun (foot), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Nikola Jokic (elbow) were all sidelined Monday, allowing Tyson to make his first career start. All three of those players are day-to-day, but they could get some maintenance in the final weeks as the Nuggets look to keep them fresh for the playoffs. Tyson will be on the streaming radar only when the Nuggets are very shorthanded.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: First career start Monday
Rotowire
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Golden State.
The Nuggets are without three members of their starting lineup Monday, creating a rare opportunity for the 2023 second-rounder in the first unit. Tyson has averaged 2.0 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 steals in 4.4 minutes over four games since the All-Star break, making it unclear how much his role will expand against the Warriors.
Tyson posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across five minutes during Saturday's 133-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Tyson continues to play only during garbage time, a common theme for several fringe players who saw court time Saturday. To this point, he has suited up in 33 games, averaging a modest 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Scores seven points
Rotowire
Tyson accumulated seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 130-129 victory over the Kings.
Christian Braun missed his first game of the season due to lower back spasms, and Tyson was one of a few reserves to step up in his absence. Tyson matched his season-high mark of seven points in the win, but the workload wasn't appetizing enough to warrant attention for streaming purposes.

Rotowire
Tyson ended Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal over 15 minutes.
Tyson chipped in on the defensive end during his second consecutive game hitting the double-digit mark in minutes. The 24-year-old is a candidate for an increased role with Aaron Gordon (calf) set to miss multiple weeks.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Gets garbage-time run in return
Rotowire
Tyson (finger) played four minutes in Wednesday's 117-96 win over the Kings, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds.
Back in action after missing the last five games with a finger fracture and sprain, Tyson was out of head coach Michael Malone's rotation while the game was competitive, as he didn't leave the bench until the Nuggets held a 22-point lead with 3:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. Tyson could link up with the G League's Grand Rapids Gold in the coming days if his playing time with the Nuggets remains scarce.
