Lawson scored 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), with 15 assists, one rebound and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Thunder.
Lawson is back and firing on all cylinders. Fantasy owners shouldn't even blink when it comes to Lawson, because he's the most consistent piece on this roster, and will always get his minutes.

Lawson scored 24 points (9-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT) to go along with one rebound, 12 assists and two steals in 38 minutes Monday against the Cavaliers.
Lawson has dished out at least nine assists in each of his last three games and continues to be an excellent fantasy option when healthy. The key is for him to stay healthy, which has been a problem for him since last season.

Lawson played well, despite some minor shooting problems, finishing with 17 points (6-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine assists, and two rebounds in a team-high 40 minutes on Sunday.
Lawson only shot 33 percent from the field and 50 percent from the line, but he's definitely a guy who will have better nights shooting to balance these setbacks out. Lately he seems to be getting back into the pace of game and doesn't seem to have any lingering effects of his ankle injury. But, as is the case with Lawson, he's also a guy who will likely miss between 10-15 games with injury so always keep an eye out to see if it comes back in the future. Perhaps now is a good time to sell-high on the guard, while he's still healthy.

Lawson scored 32 points (11-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), with six assists, three rebounds and two steals in 42 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
It's pretty safe to say that Lawson is past the ankle injury at this point. If there were any concerns about the Nuggets' point guard being less than 100%, he wouldn't have logged this many minutes in a blowout loss. This game was out of hand before halftime even rolled around, but it was good to see Lawson put up the impressive stat line for fantasy purposes.

Lawson (ankle) returned to action Sunday after sitting out the Nuggets' previous game on Friday. He put up 18 points, six rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in 38 minutes.
That's a lot of minutes to play if everything isn't good to go healthwise. It appears Lawson is free and clear for the time being, but he's been dealing with ankle issues since the end of last season, so if you have Lawson on your team, it'd be a good idea to keep close watch of whether or not he's in the lineup for the next few games.
Sun Nov 9 201419:39Lawson (ankle) will play Sunday against Blazers
Lawson (ankle) will play Sunday against the Blazers, Jabari Young of CSN reports.
Lawson was a late scratch against the Cavs on Friday, as he was experiencing soreness in his ankle. With an extra couple days of rest, however, the North Carolina product will return to the floor against Damian Lillard and the Blazers. Lawson is averaging 11 points and 10.5 assists over his last two games.
Fri Nov 7 201422:00Ty Lawson: (Ankle) A Late Scratch Friday
Lawson is a late scratch for Friday's game, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.
Nate Robinson will get the start in his place, as Lawson is clearly still bothered by a sore ankle, which has plagued him this week. Consider him day-to-day.

Lawson (ankle) scored nine points (1-8 FG, 0-1 3P, 7-8 FT) with 12 assists in 35 minutes during Monday's loss to the Kings.
He's struggled with his shot through the first few games of the season, but Lawson's ability to distribute doesn't seem to be affected by his ankle issues. He should eventually come around on offense, so it could be worth your time to see if his current owner is panicking and willing to deal him for less than sticker price.
Mon Nov 3 201413:55Ty Lawson: (Ankle) Will Play Monday
Lawson (ankle) will play in Monday's game, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.
He was dealing with ankle soreness earlier in the day, but coach Brian Shaw says Lawson will not be forced out of action Monday, which is incidentally Lawson's 27th birthday.
Mon Nov 3 201413:14Ty Lawson: (Ankle Soreness) Questionable Monday
Lawson (ankle soreness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.
He had been dealing with a hamstring injury prior to the season, and this may be something different. It doesn't sound too serious, but Lawson hasn't been the picture of health of late, so he's a risky start this week. There should be an update on his status after Monday's shootaround in the early afternoon.

Lawson bounced back from his three point outing in Wednesday's season opener with 25 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-12 FT), two rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 35 minutes Saturday.
It as good to see Lawson look more aggressive and have his shot fall after Wednesday's dud and if he remains healthy, this is more akin to the type of production we can expect from him on an ongoing basis.

Lawson (hamstring) indicated during Monday's Reddit "Ask Me Anything" that his hamstring is feeling 100 percent.
Lawson hopped on Reddit on Monday afternoon to answer questions from fans, and he indicated he's moved past the hamstring issues that plagued him during the preseason. Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post corroborated that report, citing a recent quote from coach Brian Shaw. "Ty has shown no signs of anything that was hampering him before," Shaw said. At this point, it's fair to expect Lawson to open the season at full strength.

Lawson (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday and is considered questionable for Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors, the Denver Post reports.
Lawson's hamstring tightened during last Saturday's exhibition outing, which prevented him from playing in Tuesday's recent contest. However, since Lawson is a game-time decision for Friday's last preseason game, it's likely he'll be fine from a health perspective by the time the Nuggets open their regular season Oct. 29 versus the Pistons.
Tue Oct 21 201419:45Lawson (hamstring) will not play Tuesday
Lawson (hamstring) will not play Tuesday, Nuggets' announcer Jason Kosmicki reports.
Lawson left Saturday's game with a tight hamstring, and it's unclear if he will be ready for the start of the regular season. The Nuggets are likely just playing it safe with Lawson, and he should be considered day-to-day going forward. Nate Robinson will get the start at point guard.
Mon Oct 20 201415:30Lawson departed Saturday's preseason game with tight hamstring
Lawson departed Saturday's preseason game with a tight hamstring.
The Nuggets did not offer much of a follow-up on the situation, which likely means the issue is nothing serious. It's rather concerning that Lawson played only 10 minutes before leaving, but the point guard is still working himself back into game shape after an ankle injury, so a tight hamstring could be a product of a relative lack of conditioning. Further details should be forthcoming, and consider Lawson questionable for Tuesday's exhibition finale against the Blazers on Tuesday.
Mon Oct 13 201414:04Ty Lawson: (Ankle) Cleared To Play Monday
Lawson (ankle) will take the court in Monday's exhibition, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.
Look for Lawson to play limited minutes Monday, as the Nuggets have been trying to take it easy on him so far in camp. He is expected to be ready for the start of the season, but it will be interesting to see how his body holds up over the 82-game season, given the offensive load he will likely be asked to carry.

Nuggets' coach Brian Shaw said he's somewhat concerned about Lawson's ankle injury, the Denver Post reports. There is some concern," Shaw said. "I haven't really been killing him in practice or even in games. I'm cognizant of that. But once again, it's something that he's going to have to work himself through."
Lawson has been limited in practice recently after sustaining a severely sprained ankle near the end of last season. He plans to wear a small brace on the ankle, and Shaw said the team will be keeping a close eye on how it responds throughout the season. Shaw also indicated he does not plan to rest Lawson during the preseason, as he hopes to ensure the point guard is as conditioned as possible when the games start to count.
Sun Oct 12 201415:52Lawson (ankle) partial participant in Sunday's practice
Lawson (ankle) was a partial participant in Sunday's practice, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
Lawson sustained a severely sprained ankle near the end of last season and was limited throughout the offseason. He's yet to play in the preseason, and the fact that he's still not able to go through an entire practice could be an indication that his opening night status is in jeopardy.

Lawson (ankle) was shown in a vine on the Denver Nuggets' Twitter page working out at the training facility.
Lawson suffered the ankle sprain at the end of last year and missed the final six games of the season. He reportedly still couldn't run on it back in June, so seeing him back in the gym and getting some shots up is good news for his training camp availability. With the time he's had off, his ankle should be nearing a full recovery, as it was just a sprain and nothing more. Look for Lawson to be a full go come training camp barring any setbacks.
Tue Jun 10 201410:46Ty Lawson going to gym and getting treatment
Ty Lawson (ankle) still can't run, but is able to go to the gym, lift weights, and get treatment in the meantime.
A week after saying that he still can't run, Lawson did provide an update on his sprained left ankle, "I'm still trying to get over this ankle injury. Every day I've been going to the gym, lifting weights and getting treatment done. I've been doing that for the last month, month and a half." The 26-year-old missed 20 games during the 2013-14 season, but was still able to average solid numbers of 17.6 points, 1.2 3-pointers, 3.5 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.6 steals so he should set himself up to be one of the better fantasy point guards in 2014-15 if he can stay on the court.
