The Denver Nuggets visit the Golden State Warriors on Sunday afternoon looking to build on the massive 157-point performance they scored against the Portland Trail Blazers last time out. However, while they have plenty of absent players to deal with, the Nuggets will be up against a team that is missing its best players.
According to the official injury report, Jamal Murray is on the injury report along with several Nuggets rotation players, while the star guard is listed as questionable due to a hamstring issue. Denver is also monitoring injuries to Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson.
However, the Golden State Warriors have bigger concerns of their own, with Stephen Curry confirmed out, Jimmy Butler with Kristaps Porzingis also added to the injury list.
Jamal Murray's injury status vs. Warriors
Given that Jamal Murray is questionable on the injury report, his availability will likely be determined closer to tip-off. Of course, given that he is having the best season of his career, he will likely be a big absence.
Murray is averaging 25.7 points, 7.6 assists and 4.5 rebounds, while posting an elite 61.5 true shooting percentage. His importance has increased even more without Nikola Jokic, with Murray upping his production to 27.8 points and 8.3 assists in 12 games.
Denver enters the game with a strong 21-10 road record as the No. 3 seed at 36-21, while Golden State is 29-27 and struggling without Stephen Curry. Despite this, the game promises to be close with both teams missing key players, especially Golden State.
