Labeled questionable

Murray missed the second leg of the Nuggets' back-to-back set Monday due to a sprained right ankle. He'll be on the injury report once again for Wednesday's contest. Should he miss, Russell Westbrook would likely draw another start while Jalen Pickett could see more minutes off the bench.

Scores 32 points in win

Jokic was unable to post another triple-double, but instead of filling out the stat sheet, he was incredibly efficient as a scoring weapon. The star big man and three-time MVP winner surpassed the 30-point plateau for the fourth time across his last seven appearances, a span in which he's averaging 33.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game while shooting 59.3 percent from the floor.

Efficient performance Monday

Porter was on a bit of a dry spell after four straight games without reaching the 20-point mark and with subpar shooting percentages. However, the star forward bounced back admirably here and delivered one of his most efficient outings of the campaign from a shooting perspective. Porter has been heavily linked with a move away from the Nuggets before the Feb. 6 trade deadline, but he continues to produce as one of Denver's most reliable offensive weapons. He's averaging 17.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game since the beginning of December.
