Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Pours in 24 in loss
Murray supplied 24 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and four steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Wizards.
The 28-year-old point guard finished as the club's second-leading scorer while racking up a game-high mark in steals. Murray briefly exited to the locker room in the loss due to an apparent ankle injury, though he was able to return and finish the game, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic. The eighth-year pro produced his third outing with at least 20 points over his last five, a span during which he has averaged 22.6 points, 6.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 38.6 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Double-doubles in start Saturday
Westbrook accumulated 22 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 11 assists, four rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Wizards.
The veteran point guard received the starting nod due to Aaron Gordon (calf) being sidelined in the second night of a back-to-back set. Westbrook finished as the club's third-leading scorer and recorded a game-high 11 assists en route to his 10th double-double on the season. The 36-year-old will likely continue to join the starting five whenever Gordon is sidelined due to injury management. Westbrook has made 32 starts this season, during which he has averaged 14.9 points, 6.8 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 31.2 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Sniffs triple-double in defeat
Jokic closed with 40 points (16-30 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Wizards.
Jokic logged his 52nd outing with a double-double or better while stuffing the stat sheet once again Saturday, albeit in a losing effort. The three-time MVP posted a game-high mark in points, though he struggled from beyond the arc. He has shot only 28.6 percent from downtown in 13 outings since the All-Star break. During that 13-game span, Jokic has averaged 26.8 points, 13.8 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.5 steals across 38.5 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Green light to play Saturday
Braun (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Braun was listed on the injury report due to left foot inflammation, but it's not severe enough for him to miss Saturday's contest. He has started in every game for the Nuggets since Feb. 1, and over that span he has averaged 17.7 points on 56.0 percent shooting, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals over 36.2 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Available vs. Washington
Murray (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Murray was downgraded to questionable Saturday afternoon, but the star floor general will suit up and should handle his usual workload as one of Denver's most reliable offensive weapons. He's averaging 22.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Not playing Saturday
Gordon (calf/ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Gordon made his return from a two-game absence in Friday's win against the Lakers, but he'll be held out of the second leg of a back-to-back set for maintenance purposes while he manages a right calf injury as well as a left ankle sprain. Russell Westbrook will likely enter the Nuggets' starting lineup Saturday in Gordon's absence.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Suiting up vs. Wizards
Jokic (elbow/ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Jokic was expected to suit up Saturday, so his upgrade in status isn't surprising. The star big man has been playing at a high level all season, and it wouldn't be surprising if he dominates the Wizards, as he posted a season-high 56 points in a loss to Washington on Dec. 7. Jokic is averaging 27.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Downgraded to questionable
Murray has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to left knee inflammation.
Murray accumulated 26 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 39 minutes during Friday's 131-126 victory over the Lakers. He's a late addition to the injury report, and a decision on his status will be made closer to the 9 p.m. ET tipoff. Murray is averaging 22.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Likely to play Saturday
Braun is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Wizards due to left foot inflammation.
Braun hasn't missed a game since Dec. 16 and isn't expected to do so Saturday despite dealing with a left foot issue. There is no indication Braun will operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Expected to play against Washington
Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Wizards.
Jokic continues to deal with a left elbow contusion and left ankle impingement but is expected to make his 28th straight appearance Saturday. If the superstar center is upgraded to available, there is no indication he will operate on a minutes restriction.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable for Saturday's contest
Gordon (calf/ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Gordon missed two games in a row due to right calf injury management and a left ankle sprain before he returned to action in Friday's 131-126 win over the Lakers, finishing with 17 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes. The veteran forward seemingly experienced no setbacks Friday, so his potential absence Saturday would likely be merely for maintenance-related reasons. If Gordon is downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's 9 p.m. ET opening tip, Russell Westbrook would likely replace Gordon in the starting five.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Posts 22 points in victory
Braun closed Friday's 131-126 win over the Lakers with 22 points (9-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes.
Braun bounced back from a tepid performance against the Bucks and turned in a solid line despite nursing a foot sprain.The third-year pro is having a breakout season thanks to his nightly presence in Denver's first unit. He's blowing out his previous seasonal numbers, averaging 15.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals over 61 games.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Finishes with 28 points in win
Jokic ended Friday's 131-126 win over the Lakers with 28 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 12-17 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes.
Jokic's result on Saturday was below average by his standards, as he failed to hit the double-double milestone for the 16th time over 61 games. Denver's inability to pull away from the short-handed Lakers is a cause for concern, and it's imperative for Jokic to play closer to his triple-double averages as Denver jockeys for playoff position.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Hits clutch three to seal win
Murray accumulated 26 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 39 minutes during Friday's 131-126 victory over the Lakers.
Murray's three-pointer in the closing seconds was followed by a Russell Westbrook steal and dunk, giving the Nuggets the win after a massive rally from the short-handed Lakers. Denver's marquee guard showed no ill effects from his lingering knee injury, and he will likely play Saturday against the Wizards despite the back-to-back scenario.

Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Coming off bench against Lakers
Westbrook will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Lakers.
Aaron Gordon (calf) is good to go Friday, pushing Westbrook into a reserve role. The veteran guard has averaged 12.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks in 28.5 minutes across 11 games since the All-Star break.
