Watson chipped in on both ends of the floor, continuing to provide serviceable production in Aaron Gordon's absence due to a calf injury.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Full participant in practice Sunday
Coach Michael Malone said Watson (hamstring) participated fully in practice for the first time in five weeks Sunday, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

The 22-year-old was limited during training camp and did not appear in a single preseason game, but he will likely return for Opening Night as the club's backup power forward behind Aaron Gordon.
