  • Deemed questionable for Game 1
    Murray (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Murray has been in and out of Denver's practices this week but was able to play in all five of Denver's first-round games against the Lakers. Murray averaged 39.8 minutes per contest against Los Angeles, and his calf is feeling even better heading into Saturday's matchup, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

  • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 1
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is listed as questionable for Game 1 against Minnesota on Saturday.

    Advice: The first game of the second round will start on Saturday, and Murray is still dealing with a strain in his calf. It didn’t keep him out of any games in the first round, and it certainly didn’t do much to slow down his production. However, if something changes and he is forced to miss Saturday’s game, Reggie Jackson should slide into the starting point guard role. Rotoworld Today, 2:31 pm
