Nuggets' Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray out vs. Trail Blazers Denver Nuggets stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray sat out Saturday night’s road game with the Portland Trail Blazers due to injuries.Jokic...
MARCH 24 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM
DeAndre Jordan - Starting against Portland Jordan is in the starting lineup to face the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Impact Jordan will get the starting nod at center due to the absence of Nikola Jokic (hip). Jordan has made just one start this season for the Nuggets, but he shouldn't make much of an impact. In 30 appearances, he's averaging just 4.0 points and 4.4 rebounds across 11.2 minutes per game.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Jackson - Starting Friday Jackson will start at point guard in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Jackson will start in place of Jamal Murray (ankle). He has averaged 16.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists across 16 games as a starter this season.

Jamal Murray - Won't play Saturday Murray (ankle) is out for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact Murray has been downgraded from questionable to out Saturday due to a left ankle injury he suffered against the Knicks. Reggie Jackson will likely start in his absence. Murray's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Memphis.
MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Ruled out against Portland Jokic (back/hip) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact Jokic has been downgraded from questionable to out Saturday due to lower back pain and left hip inflammation. DeAndre Jordan will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Jokic's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Memphis.

Zeke Nnaji - Remains out Saturday Nnaji (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Nnaji has been dealing with a nagging back problem and is set to miss a third straight contest. However, he wouldn't have made a big impact had he been available. His next chance to play will come against the Grizzlies on Monday.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Pickett - Out due to personal reasons Pickett has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Pickett isn't a regular part of Denver's rotation, so his absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Status for Saturday in jeopardy Jokic is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to lower back pain/left hip inflammation.
Impact Jokic is dealing with two separate injuries leading up for Saturday's clash after posting an impressive triple-double Thursday night against the Knicks. The team should know more about his availability following morning shootaround and pregame warmups.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Considered questionable Murray (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Murray tweaked his left ankle at the end of Thursday's win over the Knicks and is in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 23. Nikola Jokic (back/hip) is also questionable, so the Nuggets may need Michael Porter, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Jackson to handle increased usage.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Murray - Scores 23 points in win Murray closed Thursday's 113-100 victory over New York with 23 points (9-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes.
Impact Murray has surpassed the 20-point mark in just two of his last five appearances. While this is likely temporary, he's been operating as Denver's third-best offensive option behind Nikola Jokic and a red-hot Michael Porter. Even though he's now holding a somewhat "lesser" role in recent weeks, Murray remains a key contributor for the Nuggets on the offensive end of the court, and a player who's capable of taking over at any given contest, starting with a very favorable matchup against the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Porter Jr. - Extremely efficient in win Thursday Porter finished Thursday's 113-100 win over the Knicks with 31 points (13-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds in 37 minutes.
Impact There's no question that the Nuggets will go as far as Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray can carry them, but the team gets an entirely new dimension on offense when Porter can knock down shots consistently. This 13-for-16 performance was one of his best showings of the entire campaign, and Porter is arguably going through one of his most productive stretches of the season. He's now scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 23.0 points per game while shooting 50 percent from deep and 60.9 percent from the field in that span.
