J.J. Hickson to be active but not expected to play on Friday
J.J. Hickson is in uniform tonight for the Wizards but is not expected to play. Hickson is a low-end DFS play and should only see minimal court time. Hickson will only be a viable asset if the Wizards have an injury to their frontcourt.
Washington Wizards sign J.J. Hickson
It took a while for Hickson to find a home after being released by the Nuggets but the Wizards have called the veterans name to help give them some front court depth. With Markieff Morris, Marcin Gortat, and Nene Hilario already in the fold he doesn't hold much DFS value but could be worth keeping an eye on if someone goes down due to injury.
J.J. Hickson starting, Joffrey Lauvergne available to play
Joffery Lauvergne had been ill all day and even missed shootaround. That led to the Nuggets to start J.J. Hickson in his place. Hickson makes for a good late-swap option against the Magic, but will be undersized against Nikola Vucevic. Hickson could be in line for over 25 minutes tonight.
J.J. Hickson starting Tuesday.
J.J. Hickson will be the starting at C for the Nuggets against the Pelicans. If Kenneth Faried is dealing with a sore back, so there is a chance that Hickson plays against Davis, allowing for Faried to rest a little on the defensive end. Hickson has played well against teams that have other strong big men. Foul trouble could be an issue if Anthony Davis attacks Hickson, leaving Nikola Jokic as the only other big man off the Nuggets bench. Also, the pace of the game favors a small-ball approach so Will Barton has a chance to shine as well tonight.
J.J. Hickson starting now, not Foye
The Nuggets coaches made a change at the last minute to match the size of the Rockets. J.J. Hickson started to match up with Dwight Howard. Foye will be coming off the bench and does not have much value.

J.J. Hickson prepares for extended minutes
J.J. Hickson has only played 3 minutes so far this season for the Nuggets. Joffrey Lauvergne and Nikola Jokic are both nursing back injuries and are game-time decisions. Hickson makes for an interesting GPP punt play with his minimum salary. He is a rebounding machine and looks to get extended minutes in one of the highest scoring games of the night. Hickson is only viable if one or both of Lauvergne/Jokic sits out.
