Jamal Murray headlined a long injury report against the Bucks
On Sunday night, Denver Nuggets will hit the floor at home for a game against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. The The Nuggets are trying best to hold the fort afterwards the recent injury of Nikola Jokićwho has been out of the lineup for the last few games due to a knee ailment.
The Nuggets injury report against the Bucks on Sunday is one full. Jamal Murray is listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle, while Christian Brown is likely with the same injury. Aaron Gordon is also listed as probable with a right hamstring strain.
Jonas Valanciunas, Cameron Johnson and Jokic will remain out of the lineup.
Meanwhile, Kevin Porter Jr. is likely for the Bucks with a right hip contusion.
The Nuggets had impressive road wins against the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics last week, but lost at home to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night with Murray missing that contest and the team being outscored by 24 in the fourth quarter.
The influx of injuries for the Nuggets gave some younger players a chance to step up their offensive output, and one player who took full advantage was Peyton Watson, who scored 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against the Hawks.
Denver will hope Watson’s confidence level remains high so he can contribute more consistently when Jokic returns to the lineup.
The good news for the Nuggets is that they have a weak stretch of their schedule coming up, with games against the New Orleans Pelicans, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets on the horizon.
Either way, their game against the Bucks is set to begin Sunday night at 8:00 PM ET from the Ball Arena in Denver.
