Nikola Jokic - Available vs. Memphis Jokic (hip) will play Monday night against the Grizzlies.

Impact Jokic was reported to be trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's tipoff, and he's since been confirmed as available. The big man is averaging 24.8 points and 12.4 rebounds in 37.0 minutes over his last five appearances.

Nikola Jokic - On track to play Coach Michael Malone said that Jokic (hip) should be "good to go" for Monday's game against Memphis, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Jokic and Michael Porter (illness) are trending in the right direction for Monday's game. That being said, Denver will not be at full strength, as Aaron Gordon (foot) and Jamal Murray (ankle) have been ruled out for the contest.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Gordon - Inactive Monday Gordon (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Gordon is dealing with a right plantar fascia strain and will miss his first game since Dec. 29. Jamal Murray (ankle) is also inactive Monday. Peyton Watson and Justin Holiday will likely have large roles in the frontcourt.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Jamal Murray - Unavailable Monday Murray (ankle) won't play Monday against the Grizzlies, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Murray will miss his second straight contest due to a left ankle sprain. Reggie Jackson is in line for another start at point guard in Murray's absence.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Porter Jr. - Dealing with illness Porter is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness.

Impact Porter and Aaron Gordon (foot) are late additions to the injury report, joining Nikola Jokic (back/hip) and Jamal Murray (ankle) as questionable. Given almost their entire starting lineup is questionable, it's difficult to project what the Nuggets' rotation will look like until we get clarity on who'll be available.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Gordon - Added to injury report Gordon is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right plantar fascia strain.

Impact Gordon wasn't on the Nuggets' initial injury report for Monday's matchup, but he's dealing with a foot issue in the hours leading up to tipoff. The Nuggets could choose to exercise caution with the 28-year-old since the Grizzlies will be shorthanded, and Peyton Watson could see increased playing time if Gordon is unavailable.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Pickett - Not on injury report Pickett (personal) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Memphis.

Impact Pickett was unavailable Saturday against the Trail Blazers but should be able to suit up after a one-game absence. However, he isn't a regular part of the Nuggets' rotation.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Zeke Nnaji - Will remain out Monday Nnaji (thigh) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Nnaji is dealing with right adductor tendinosis and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to do so will be Monday against the Grizzlies.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Jamal Murray - Iffy for Monday Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Murray missed Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a left ankle sprain that has his status for Monday in question. Nikola Jokic (back, hip) is also questionable, so the Nuggets could need to rely on Michael Porter, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Jackson more than usual.

Nikola Jokic - Questionable for Monday Jokic (back/hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Jokic was unavailable Saturday against the Trail Blazers due to lower back pain and left hip inflammation, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Monday. If he remains sidelined, DeAndre Jordan could see increased playing time.

Christian Braun - Valuable bench presence in win Braun racked up 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 victory over the Trail Blaze...

Impact Saturday marked Braun's second-best scoring performance of the season as he provided backcourt support with Jamal Murray (ankle) sidelined. While Braun's performance highlights the team's depth, it's unreasonable to expect consistent production from him unless there are backcourt absences.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Gordon - Records double-doubke in narrow win Gordon registered 22 points (8-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 37 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Gordon delivered his third-best scoring total of the season with Nikola Jokic (hip) and Jamal Murray (ankle) on the sidelines. Saturday marked Gordon's second double-double in three games, and he'll likely see increased rebound production if Jokic remains out Monday night the Grizzlies. The Nuggets may also start to rest Jokic as the playoffs get closer, setting Gordon up for a production spike as the season winds down.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Reggie Jackson - Fills in aptly in victory Jackson racked up 23 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT), five assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact The Nuggets are lucky to have a quality backup like Jackson, who will provide solid veteran depth as the team goes for the title. Jamal Murray's ankle injury is somewhat concerning, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Nuggets handle the situation conservatively. If the injury lingers, we may see a lot more from Jackson as the season winds to a close.
