Peyton Watson · When injuries sidelined Denver's stars, Peyton Watson seized his opportunity with both hands. The ascending forward was already cooking against Washington when, after Watson rejected Keyshawn George at the rim, Jamal Murray found him on the left wing early in the first quarter on January 22, 2026. Watson caught the pass in rhythm, rose up confidently and buried a 30-foot triple to extend Denver's lead to nine. The swingman went nuclear from deep, hitting 6-of-8 threes en route to a career-high 35 points plus 4 blocks in the Nuggets' 107-97 road victory. · State of Mint · State of Mint
