Oshae Brissett - Coming off bench SaturdayBrissett will come off the bench Saturday against the Suns.

T.J. McConnell - Starting next to NembhardMcConnell will start Saturday's game against the Suns.

ImpactCoach Rick Carlisle will experiment with starting McConnell alongside Nembhard. The nod will be McConnell's first start of the year, though he's been seeing increased minutes in Tyrese Haliburton's (knee, elbow) absence. Over the past six games, McConnell is averaging 14.5 points, 7.7 assists, 5.2 boards and 1.8 steals in 25.0 minutes.

Andrew Nembhard - Good to go SaturdayNembhard (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Suns, Tony East of SI.com reports.

ImpactNembhard will play through an illness and should continue taking on extra playmaking responsibilities with Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) out. Over the past five games, Nembhard is averaging 8.6 points, 6.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 28.6 minutes.

Andrew Nembhard - Trending in right directionCoach Rick Carlisle noted that Nembhard (illness) is "doing OK" and that he thinks the guard will play Saturday at Phoenix, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

ImpactThis is good news for the Pacers, who are thin in the backcourt with Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) sidelined. Still, if Nembhard sits or sees limited action, more minutes could be in store for Chris Duarte and Trevelin Queen.

WILD SEQUENCE - Nuggets Get 3 Consecutive Dunks 👀🔥| January 20, 2023

Vlatko Cancar - Iffy for SundayCancar (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Oklahoma City.

ImpactCancar missed Friday's meeting with the Thunder due to a non-COVID illness and is at risk of missing a second straight tilt. With Nikola Jokic (hamstring) also listed as questionable, Denver may find themselves thin up front Sunday. If Cancar does not suit up, Zeke Nnaji and Jeff Green would be in line for larger workloads.

Bones Hyland - Questionable vs. ThunderHyland (finger) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Thunder.

ImpactHyland exited Friday's win over the Pacers due to a sprained finger, and it's unclear if he'll play Sunday. With Jamal Murray (hip) also questionable, Denver could be thin in the backcourt. That could lead to increased run for Ish Smith.
