Jamal Murray - On minutes restriction Wednesday Murray (hamstring) is facing a "hard minutes restriction" for Wednesday's season-opening matchup versus Utah, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Although vague, coach Michael Malone stated that Murray will play in the second half despite not playing a single minute in the second half during the preseason. It definitely appears that the Nuggets are in no hurry to rush back their star guard. They'll instead ease him back into the rotation.

Impact Murray was unavailable for the Nuggets' final three preseason games due to a sore left hamstring, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 25-year-old face a minutes restriction early in the year, especially after he missed all of last season due to an ACL injury.

Jamal Murray - Should be good for Opening Night Murray (hamstring) is expected to suit up for the Nuggets' season opener against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Murray could have suited up in the Nuggets' preseason finale against Golden State, but coach Mike Malone decided to play it safe so that he'll be fully ready to go against Utah. After missing all of last season to an ACL injury, erring on the side of caution may be the smart move. Expect Murray to play a key role for Denver this season as the second offensive option alongside Nikola Jokic. Given the long layoff, it's quite possible Murray's minutes could be limited early in the season.

DeAndre Jordan - Gets in on action Saturday Jordan (rest) rejoined the action in Friday's preseason finale versus the Nuggets, tallying five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds over 18 minutes.

Impact Jordan got in some action to close out the preseason after resting Wednesday, and he should be set to handle backup duties to Nikola Jokic entering the 2022-23 campaign. Jordan can supply enough points and rebounds on nights when Jokic isn't available to warrant some fantasy looks on occasion.

Nikola Jokic - Will play Friday Jokic is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale versus the Warriors.

Impact Jokic was previously considered to be questionable for Friday's game, but it appears that his wrist injury is no longer a problem, though it's possible Denver still elects to keep the star big man on a minutes restriction against Golden State. Jokic should be full go for the regular season and will likely be a top-three pick in nearly every fantasy league.

Jamal Murray - Out Friday Murray (hamstring) will not play in the Nuggets' preseason finale versus the Warrriors, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Murray was listed as questionable heading into the contest and the Nuggets will opt to err on the side of caution. His status for the team's regular season opener against the Jazz on Wednesday is uncertain. He is returning from an ACL injury that sidelined him for the entire 2021-22 campaign, so expect the team to continue excercising caution as the season tips off.

Bones Hyland - Will play Friday Hyland will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Mavericks, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Hyland tweak his ankle during an exhibition against the Suns and sat out one contest, but he'll return to action Friday and shouldn't be limited to start the regular season.

Nikola Jokic - Questionable for Friday Jokic (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.

Impact It's unclear if Jokic drew the questionable tag based on his previous wrist injury or if it's simply related to rest. Considering the big man played only during the first half of Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers, it's unlikely he'll see a normal workload Friday if he does suit up. Regardless, Jokic should be ready to roll for next Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Jazz, barring any setbacks.

Bones Hyland - Questionable for preseason finale Hyland (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason finale against the Warriors, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.

Impact Hyland suffered a left ankle injury against the Suns and was forced to miss the Nuggets' last preseason game as a result. The guard could make a return Friday, but it's likely that the team elects to be cautious and holds Hyland out until the regular season begins next Wednesday.
