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.

Jamal Murray sank a 3-pointer with 5.6 seconds left and Russell Westbrook stole the inbounds pass for a exclamation-point dunk as the Denver Nuggets rebuffed the scrappy, short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 131-126 Friday night.
