Reggie Jackson - Available Sunday Jackson (calf) has been cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale in Memphis.

Impact Groin injuries tend to be quite complicated, and it remains to be seen if Nnaji will be able to feature in the regular season finale Sunday. Even if he's available, Nnaji should be an option off the bench in a best-case scenario.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Porter Jr. - Questionable to play Sunday Porter is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness.
Impact Porter has featured in the injury report quite often in recent weeks, but as has been the case of late, he's expected to be available for the season finale, as the Nuggets will learn their seeding in the Western Conference once all the games are over.

Aaron Gordon - Back on injury report Gordon (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Memphis.
Impact Gordon is still being bothered by a right foot strain, and he's been a regular on the injury report. Most of Denver's rotation is carrying questionable tags, however, so the Nuggets could be looking to rest some players for the finale.

Impact Jokic's team-high 12 assists helped him record his 67th double-double of the season during Friday's loss to San Antonio.

In Denver's four contests since returning to action, Murray is averaging 24.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 26.0 minutes.
