Center Nikola Jokic and guard Jamal Murray are both on the injury report entering the game. Both players have been listed as probable for this game and will play against Los Angeles.

On the other side, the Lakers will also be shorthanded. Los Angeles has ruled out LeBron James, who continues to recover from a groin injury and they have also ruled out Luka Doncic due to left calf injury management and a right ankle sprain.

The Denver Nuggets have been mostly led by three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic for years, but co-star point guard Jamal Murray has been a huge factor in their success. Murray is known as one of the league's top playoff performers but has stepped up his game in the regular season.
