It is worth noting that Jokic and Murray were among the Nuggets listed on Sunday’s injury reportbut they could both play.
The Nuggets currently hold a 23-15 record, while the Mavs are 22-17. Denver is a game and a half ahead of Dallas in the standings, as the Nuggets are fourth and the Mavs are fifth in the West. Sunday’s game ended up being quite competitive, something that will likely repeat itself on Tuesday night.
It looks like the Nuggets will have most of their stars available. However, Kyrie Irving is listed as questionable at the time of writing this story. The Mavs certainly hope the future Hall of Famer will be available to play.
The Mavericks managed to make things interesting on Sunday despite the absence of Irving and Luka Doncic due to injuries. Doncic will not play Tuesday as he continues to battle a calf injury, but the Mavs should still be able to play competitive basketball.
