Impact Gordon has appeared in seven straight contests, averaging 15.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.4 minutes per game. However, the Nuggets are listing their entire starting lineup as questionable, so they appear likely to rest at least a few key contributors.

Jamal Murray - Iffy for Tuesday Murray is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to a bilateral tibia injury.
Impact Murray and the rest of Denver's starters are considered questionable for Tuesday's game, so the Nuggets appear likely to rest a few key contributors. Murray has appeared in 16 straight games, averaging 22.1 points, 6.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 30.8 minutes during that stretch.
JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Tagged as questionable Jokic is questionable to play Tuesday against Philadelphia due to a left hip strain.
Impact Jokic, Aaron Gordon (heel), Michael Porter (knee), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back) and Jamal Murray (leg) all popped up on Monday evening's injury report, likely symbolizing mere maintenance for Denver's key contributors. Whether this translates to load management in Tuesday's game is unclear, but Jokic is coming off a full 33-minute workload in Sunday's win over Indiana with no in-game injury reported.
