Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun are probable for Sunday’s game in Houston. Nikola Jokic will miss a fourth straight game. Julian Strawther remains out. – 5:47 PM

Jokic out tomorrow. Not really surprised. The Nuggets are playing it cautiously now that they know they have zero margin for error. – 5:39 PM

Rockets win 9th straight, beat Heat 102-98.
No Morant for Grizzlies as they get smoked in 2nd half (68-42) in loss to Clippers, 128-108.
No Jokic for Nuggets as they get smoked in 2nd half (74-50) in loss to Blazers, 128-109.

Luke Kornet has been one of the most impactful bench players this season. Cs are steam rolling opponents when he’s on the court (+11.6 Netrtg.)
He’s got an undeniable chemistry with Tatum, which shows in their pick & roll numbers — #2 most potent combo behind Murray/Jokic pic.x.com/yRgIQCiQvj – 3:55 PM

With Jokic and Murray available, I understand giving Aaron Gordon some additional airspace, even acknowledging how good he’s been from deep this season. Gotta pick the poisons. But with those two out, Gordon becomes a primary scorer. Can’t keep sagging off him this much. AK – 11:39 PM

Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray out again.
Michael Malone: “If Nikola is not playing, it’s not because he’s sitting. It’s not because he needs rest. It’s because he’s hurt and he’s trying to play through things that most wouldn’t.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 9:24 PM

Sources: Nuggets are leaning against playing Nikola Jokic (elbow/ankle) and Jamal Murray (ankle) vs. Lakers tonight as they deal with nagging injuries.
Murray just wrapped up an early pregame workout and was struggling to move while playing 1-on-1 with an assistant coach. – 8:09 PM
