Jamal Murray's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's contest against Portland. A left ankle injury brings an end to Murray's run of 13 consecutive appearances. Reggie Jackson should take over as the starting point guard. The veteran has had 16.1 points and 5.4 assists in 16 previous starts this season. However, there's a good chance we see him being even more involved in the offense on Saturday because Nikola Jokic (back) will also skip the game.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's game in Portland. He tweaked his ankle during Thursday's 113-100 win over the New York Knicks. However, head coach Mike Malone didn't seem too concerned. With that in mind, the Nuggets' subsequent two contests are against some of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association, so Murray may not be back until Wednesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. But until he's cleared to play, Reggie Jackson, averaging 16.1 points and 5.4 assists in 16 starts this season, could be an attractive fantasy option for DFS managers, even more so if Nikola Jokic (back, hip) is also ruled out.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) seemed to tweak his ankle during the team's contest against the New York Knicks on Thursday. After the game, head coach Michael Malone said that Murray just "turned his ankle" and he left it at that. It seems like Malone and the team are not concerned with it and Murray shouldn't have to miss any time. Either way, this will be something to monitor ahead of their next game on Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Murray has been dealing with an ankle issue but was cleared to play after going through his pregame routine. Reggie Jackson is expected to remain on the bench and won't have great streaming appeal there. Fellow guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been ruled out. That means Justin Holiday will likely start alongside Murray on Saturday. Holiday doesn't offer great value even on a small-slate night. Fantasy managers should make sure they have Murray back in their lineups.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle on Thursday against the Miami Heat. The Nuggets have been cautious with Murray as he dealt with several leg injuries this season. He's sat out 16 games so far. 33-year-old point guard Reggie Jackson will see more minutes if Murray cannot suit up. Denver's starting point guard has averaged 20.5 points and 6.3 assists in 44 contests when healthy.
