Denver Nuggets

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (tibia) played 18 minutes in their Monday night matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks before he was forced to leave the game with bilateral tibia inflammation. He was officially ruled as questionable to return, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) also had to leave the game and is considered questionable too. With both of their starting guards sidelined until further notice, Reggie Jackson and Justin Holiday have been getting added minutes while Peyton Watson and Christian Braun have seen the court as well. This is going to be something to monitor for those fantasy managers who are depending on Murray.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) was forced to miss their last game due to tendinopathy in his right knee. Now, he's on the injury report as probable for their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Friday was his first missed game of the season so far, and it looks like that's all he'll need to miss for now. Porter provides efficient scoring and 2.7 made threes per game to go along with 7.0 rebounds a night. According to Basketball Monster, that's enough to put him one spot outside of the top 80 this year in per-game value for nine-category leagues.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Dario Saric (illness) appears ready to return to the lineup on Monday versus Brooklyn, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Lester Quinones has been a regular in the rotation for a couple of games, with Saric missing, but he will likely be pushed back to the end of the bench on Monday. Saric has been one of the best bench performers in the league this season, averaging 10.2 points and 5.5 rebounds with 2.6 assists in 20.5 minutes. He could play a larger role on Monday if Andrew Wiggins (ankle) misses the game. The Warriors have him listed as doubtful.

Golden State Warriors center Dario Saric (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Saric is dealing with a general illness and will hope to feel better for the second night of Golden State's back-to-back set on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. The 29-year-old Croatian big man's absence frees up 20.5 minutes per game and should solidify Jonathan Kuminga's role in the Warriors starting five. Reaching double scoring figures in 24 straight games, Kuminga is averaging 25.1 points on 61.9% field-goal shooting, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals through his last seven outings since Jan. 12 and belongs in all fantasy lineups while he's rolling.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been listed as probable for the team's Friday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's dealing with a knee contusion that doesn't seem too serious as he hasn't missed a game since December 12. The star combo guard is tied with his career high in points per game right now and he's seen some increases in traditional stats from last year. Across 35 games, Murray is averaging 21.2 points, 6.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 made threes, and 1.9 turnovers per game while shooting 47.8% from the floor. With Nikola Jokic (back) still questionable, Murray may be depended on to carry the offensive load in this game.
