The Denver Nuggets are set to visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, and it appears that All-Star guard Jamal Murray and forward Aaron Gordon will both be available to play. Murray is dealing with a left ankle injury, while Gordon is working his way back from a right hamstring issue, but both players are listed as probable on the injury report.
Why it matters
The Nuggets are currently fifth in the Western Conference standings, just half a game behind the Lakers. A win over Los Angeles would move Denver up to fourth place, so having Murray and Gordon healthy and on the court will be crucial for the Nuggets' playoff positioning.
The details
