Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson had 26 points, three rebounds, six assists, five turnovers and zero 3-pointers on 11-of-20 shooting in Sunday's Game 4 loss to the Warriors.

Lawson was great tonight, but Andre Miller was torched by Stephen Curry in the third quarter, and the Nuggets never recovered. They'll try to keep the series going with a win on Tuesday in Denver, but even if that happens, the Nuggets will head to Golden State in a 3-2 hole for Thursday's Game 6.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson scored 35 points in a tough 110-108 loss to the Warriors to go with three boards, 10 assists, two steals and one 3-pointer on 11-of-22 shooting.

He was terrific with his highest playoff scoring output of his career and he knocked down all 12 free throws. Lawson attacked the paint and he assisted on five 3-pointers, which means he helped account for 46.3 percent of Denver's points without even taking into account how many players he set up for free throws. He's one of the best players in the league and nobody should be counting Denver out from coming back in this series. The Nuggets will look to level the series at two on Sunday.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson shot 8-of-17 from the field for 19 points with one board, 12 assists, one steal, one 3-pointer and one turnover during Tuesday's Game 2 loss to the Warriors.

This was the Nuggets first home loss since January 18, which is more than both the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. Lawson and Andre Iguodala were burned by Stephen Curry for most of the game and the Warriors going small-ball proved to be a smart move. The Nuggets also had just six fastbreak points, which is well below their NBA-high season average of 20.1 points per game. The Nuggets will look to take back home-court advantage as they travel to Oakland on for Friday's Game 3.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson was quiet in Saturday's Game 1 win over the Warriors and had 12 points, five boards, four assists and three steals on 6-of-15 shooting in 39 minutes.

Lawson wasn't his usual aggressive self and while he could still be struggling through a heel injury, he did score 26 points on Monday. Eight of his 15 shots did come from within four feet, but the overall volume of attack was a little below average for Lawson. He should have a better game on Tuesday.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson (heel) reiterated that he feels 100 percent healthy, and he has no intention of playing under a minutes limit.

"I feel good, man. I'll keep icing it and I'll be OK," Lawson said. "It's win or go home. I'm ready to play. I don't want a minutes limit or anything like that." Lawson played 38.5 minutes on Monday, so it doesn't appear the team is considering limiting him in any fashion.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson (heel) said that he feels "100 percent" and revealed he could have played all 48 minutes on Tuesday.

While we think Lawson was using hyperbole to make a point, it's important to note that Lawson is feeling better and better since returning to the point where he's now fully confident in his heel. He previously admitted issues with the injury when it wasn't right, so these quotes are inspiring for owners still playing and those who are gearing up for fantasy basketball playoff leagues.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson scored 26 points on 7-of-13 shooting (1-of-1 from deep, 11-of-13 from the line) with five rebounds, seven assists and two steals in the Nuggets' close win over the Bucks on Monday.

Lawson's rest has done him well and this is about as good as it gets for a guy that was recently missing games due to a heel injury. The Nuggets are still playing for seeding, so there is a good chance their main guys will play on Wednesday. Wilson Chandler scored 21 points with three treys and not much else, and Andre Iguodala scored 13 points with eight rebounds, seven assists, a steal, two blocks and two threes in the win.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson confirmed that he's feeling "good" in the two games since returning from his heel injury.

"Just getting comfortable playing my game and just pushing off of it," he said. "It's feeling a lot better." Lawson made his return to the starting lineup on Sunday, logging a double-double in 31 minutes of action.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Making his return to the starting lineup, Ty Lawson finished a win over the Blazers with 12 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and zero turnovers in 31 minutes.

Nuggets fans will be holding their breath every time Lawson makes a hard landing, but it seems like he'll be ready to go for Denver's final two games on Monday and Wednesday. His return reduced Andre Miller to two points and one assist in 19 bench minutes.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson (heel) is expected to start against the Blazers on Sunday.

He returned to the lineup on Friday with 13 points and three assists in 19 minutes. Lawson is likely feeling a little better, so there's a chance he can approach 28 minutes against Damian Lillard today. He's a must-start option. Andre Miller is still worth starting in most leagues.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

The Nuggets are hopeful Ty Lawson (heel) will play one full game before the playoffs begin.

Lawson came off the bench in his return Friday night, scoring 13 points in 19 minutes. Andre Miller got most of the minutes down the stretch, but George Karl was pretty with what he saw from Lawson. "Ty looked like he was OK, maybe even a little better than OK," Karl said. "I thought he'd be more rusty." As long as Lawson gets a passing grade (and more minutes) after his first game action, owners should feel safe using him the rest of the way

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson (heel) returned to action on Friday, playing 19 minutes on his way to 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting, two rebounds and three assists.

This is about as good of a return game as could have been expected by owners, and we'll have to watch the overnight and next-day reports to see if he came out of the game feeling good. If so, he's a candidate for active duty in your lineup unless he's on a very prohibitive minute-restriction.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson (heel) is coming off the bench to face the Mavericks on Friday and is expected to play 20 minutes.

He was expected to play for most of the day, but he'll be limited in his first action since March 27. If you want to pick him up, go for it, but he should be a shell of himself as he gets eased back into his old spot in the rotation in preparation for the playoffs.

Ty Lawson - G - Nuggets

Ty Lawson (heel) is expected to to "see some minutes" in Friday's game against the Mavs.

The Nuggets want Lawson to get used to playing with his injury before the playoffs come. He will not start, leaving Andre Miller with plenty of value. Expect Lawson to play roughly 15-20 minutes off the bench as long as his heel cooperates. It's only enough burn for the more desperate owners still grinding.
