Zeke Nnaji - Ruled out Friday Nnaji (thigh) is out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Nikola Jokic - Expected to play Friday Jokic (back/hip) is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact Jokic continues to manage hip and back inflammation but is expected to suit up for a third straight game after taking a seat for last Saturday's win over Portland. Over his last two appearances -- both without Jamal Murray (knee) -- Jokic has totaled 52 points, 20 rebounds, 18 assists, five steals and two blocks. Murray is questionable for Friday's contest.

Jamal Murray - Questionable for Friday Murray (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact Murray has missed three straight games due to right knee inflammation and will likely be a game-time decision Friday. If the starting point remains sidelined, Reggie Jackson should draw another start, while Collin Gillespie sees increased playing time off the bench.

Michael Porter Jr. defends brother amid NBA gambling probe
Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. said Wednesday night that he knows his younger brother Jontay wouldn't do anything to jeopardize his budd...MARCH 28
Michael Porter Jr. - Plays through illness for 18 points Porter recorded 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to Phoenix.
Impact Porter drew the start despite battling an unspecified illness but was fairly productive in the loss. Porter has plodded along with pedestrian scoring numbers over the past three games due to lower-than-expected shot volume, but his 16 attempts Wednesday is a move in the right direction. Porter can soar well above 20 points with enough opportunity, but he sometimes lacks the necessary aggression to make those opportunities happen on his own.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Solid total in loss Caldwell-Pope racked up 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to the Suns.
Impact Denver's backcourt continues to deal with Jamal Murray's (ankle) absence, and although Caldwell-Pope can be a volatile fantasy prospect, he's delivered solid assist and rebound totals alongside one of his best scoring results over the past two weeks. Short of putting Murray and Reggie Jackson o the floor at the same time, the Nuggets lack playoff experience in the backcourt, so they'll beed to see more production from Caldwell-Pope down the stretch.

Nikola Jokic - Double-doubles with 10 assists Jokic totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 42 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to the Suns.
Impact Jokic got the extra assist to hit another double-double, a milestone he missed twice over the past 10 games. The MVP candidate is dealing with multiple injuries at the moment, but the team cant shut him down yet due to an ongoing battle for first seed in the Western Conference. If the Nuggets create sone space between Minnesota and Oklahoma City in the coming week, we may see Jokic's usage draw down to get rest for the playoffs.

Christian Braun - Heads back to bench Braun isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

Nikola Jokic - Good to go against Phoenix Jokic (back/hip) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Jokic has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite dealing with lower back pain and left hip inflammation. The superstar big man is posting 58.7/40/7/86.4 shooting splits across his 11 appearances so far in March.

Michael Porter Jr. - Good to go Porter (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Porter was in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 9, but he will ultimately play through an illness. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role at forward.

Aaron Gordon - Available for Wednesday Gordon (foot) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Impact AG is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely result in Christian Braun returning to the second unit. Gordon should be good to go for his usual minutes, so make sure you have him active.

Jamal Murray - Ruled out Wednesday Murray (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Murray was considered questionable heading into the evening, and it looks like the Nuggets will err on the side of caution. In his absence, Reggie Jackson figures to be the prime beneficiary, while Collin Gillespie could also see some more run than usual. The next opportunity for Murray to suit up will come Friday against the Timberwolves.
