Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) won't suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Spurs. Despite the questionable tag, most assumed he wouldn't be out there against San Antonio. But now that he's sidelined for a sixth consecutive contest, his next chance to suit up will be for Thursday's meeting with the Clippers in Los Angeles. For now, Reggie Jackson should remain in the starting lineup, with the 33-year-old averaging 16.1 points with the first five this season. Of course, Murray's absence should also mean more scoring chances for Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist), Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon.
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star guard has missed each of the last five games due to right knee inflammation. Reggie Jackson has been starting in his place and that should continue until Murray is back in the rotation. There is a good chance that Murray is under a minutes limit once he's cleared to play. Fantasy managers can continue to stream Jackson until further notice. The Nuggets could be cautious with Murray this close to the postseason.
Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Sunday versus Cleveland. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. He'll get his next chance to return on Tuesday against San Antonio. Reggie Jackson will make another start in Murray's place. He posted a double-double in the last game against Minnesota and has done well all year in a starting role. Across 23 games as a starter, Jackson has averaged 16.0 points and 5.7 assists with 41.4 percent shooting from downtown.
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Head coach Mike Malone recently indicated Murray should be back before the end of the regular season. But the Nuggets are heading to the playoffs, so the team could continue to play it safe with the All-Star guard, meaning DFS managers may not see him back for at least a few more games. At any rate, Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist), Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon should pick up a lot of the slack caused by Murray's absence. At the same time, Reggie Jackson, averaging 16.0 points and 5.7 assists in 20 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, is expected to remain with the first five.
Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) won't return to the lineup on Friday against Minnesota. After the team initially listed him as questionable for the contest, there was hope that Murray would be ready to jump back into action, but Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has now confirmed that Denver's star guard will sit out a fourth consecutive game. This means Reggie Jackson will carry extra fantasy value for at least one more game. He's averaged 16.3 points and 5.3 assists in the last three games as Murray's replacement in the starting unit.
