Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Iffy for Friday Caldwell-Pope (finger) is questionable for Friday's game against Portland.
Impact Caldwell-Pope left Thursday's win over Washington due to a right finger sprain, and the severity remains unclear. If he can't play Friday, Christian Braun, Justin Holiday and Julian Strawther would be candidates for increased roles.
FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Braxton Key - Likely to play Friday Key (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Key was a late scratch for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to his illness, but he'll likely be able to return to action a day later. However, his status shouldn't impact the Nuggets' rotation.

Jamal Murray - Won't play Friday Murray has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to bilateral tibia inflammation.
Impact Murray missed the Nuggets' final game before the All-Star break due to his tibia injury and will be unavailable for the second half of a back-to-back set Friday. Reggie Jackson, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday are candidates to see increased run against Portland.

Jamal Murray - Sniffs double-double in win Murray notched 18 points (9-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 130-110 victory over the Wizards.
Impact Murray finished just two assists away from posting a double-double, but the star point guard also stuffed the stat sheet admirably. Murray bounced back after putting up subpar numbers in his previous two appearances before the All-Star break. Still, he should experience an uptick in his numbers in the coming weeks as the Nuggets aim to become one of the first teams in the Western Conference to secure a playoff berth. Murray is averaging 16.0 points, 7.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game since the beginning of February.

Michael Porter Jr. - Records double-double in win Porter totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 130-110 victory over Washington.
Impact Porter posted his first double-double of the season since Jan. 12, when he finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds against the Pelicans. Porter has scored in double digits in nine games in a row, a span in which he's averaging 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

Nikola Jokic - Perfect from field Thursday Jokic produced 21 points (10-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, 15 assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 130-110 win over the Wizards.
Impact Jokic made history Thursday, as he finished with an impressive triple-double while also making each of his field goals -- he became the first player in NBA history to achieve that goal. Jokic ranks fourth in NBA history with 121 regular-season triple-doubles. He trails only Magic Johnson (138), Oscar Robertson (181) and Russell Westbrook (198) on the all-time list. He's also averaging 26.0 points, 12.1 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game on the season.

Braxton Key - Sits Thursday with illness Key was a late scratch ahead of Thursday's 130-110 win over the Wizards with an illness, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact With the game turning into a blowout, Key likely would have gotten some run late in the contest if he had been healthy enough to play, but the illness foiled those plans. The two-way player has made 15 appearances for Denver this season, averaging 1.1 points and 0.8 rebounds in 3.4 minutes per contest.
