The Denver Nuggets are expected to have Peyton Watson back in the lineup Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Watson has been sidelined for more than six weeks due to a hamstring strain, keeping the forward out of action for an extended stretch. His anticipated return would give Denver an additional option in its rotation as the Nuggets continue their schedule.
