The Denver Nuggets are racing against the clock to finalize their roster, still one player short and staring down a critical decision on Peyton Watson. But the real urgency lies in filling their backup point guard void — Tyus Jones is their only option behind Jamal Murray, signed to a minimum deal. With Nikola Jokic anchoring the offense, having reliable playmaking depth when he’s off the floor is non-negotiable for championship contention. They’ve got two spots open — one likely for Watson, the other for a vet-minimum guard who can shoot, defend, and run the second unit. Names like Aaron Holiday or Killian Hayes are in play, even a retooled Westbrook if chemistry can be fixed. Time’s running out — this isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must-fill before opening night.
