Jamal Murray (hamstring) likely remaining out for Nuggets through Friday
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) will not play on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic and is considered doubtful for Friday versus the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Murray will remain out for the rest of the Nuggets' road trip, with his next chance to return coming on Sunday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Reggie Jackson should continue to start in place of Murray and Nikola Jokic will benefit from additional usage.
numberFire's models project Jackson for 27.9 minutes and 22.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday versus the Magic. Jokic has a plus-4.8 percent usage differential without Murray this season and he's averaging an additional 5.2 FanDuel points per game.
