    • Is this your king? Playoff Murray stinks it up
      Jamal Murray provided 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting in Saturday’s Game 1 loss, adding four assists, a rebound and two triples across 34 minutes.



      Advice: Murray balled out in the first round against the Lakers, averaging 23.6 points, 4.6 boards, 7.2 dimes, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 triples and nailing two game-winners in the process. Murray was held scoreless in the first half, and he was far from that level of effectiveness against Minnesota. He’s delivered some monumental games in the playoffs over the last two seasons, so we’ll chalk this one up to an off night. He’s also dealing with a lingering calf issue, but it’s unclear how much that injury contributed to Saturday’s poor showing. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) available for Game 1 Saturday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is officially available for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: An hour after Nuggets coach Michael Malone said he expected Murray to play, the starting point guard was officially cleared. He will take on his usual role within the rotation, with Reggie Jackson remaining the backup. Rotoworld Today, 3:23 pm
       
    • Will play in Game 1
      Murray (calf) will play in Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

      Advice: Murray went through his usual warmup for Game 1 and completed it with no setbacks, so the star floor general will be available to handle his regular workload in the series opener against Minnesota. Murray was stellar in the first round against the Lakers, hitting two game-winning shots and averaging 23.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm
       
    • Expected to play Saturday
      Denver coach Michael Malone said he expects Murray (calf) to play in Saturday's Game 1 versus Minnesota, but he remains a game-time call, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

      Advice: Murray will go through his usual warmup for Game 1, and if he gets through it without any setbacks, he should be all set to take the court. Murray was terrific in the previous round against the Lakers, posting 23.6 points and 7.2 assists per game. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) expected to play in Game 1
      Nuggets coach Michael Malone said during his pregame availability that he expects Jamal Murray (left calf strain) to be available for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Murray’s game-winner in Game 5 of Denver’s first-round series against the Lakers advanced the champs into the second round while also giving him valuable time off. The Nuggets have not played since Monday, and while their starting point guard remains questionable for Saturday, the expectation is that he will play. Should that not be the case, Reggie Jackson would move into the starting lineup. Rotoworld Today, 2:24 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 2:31 pm
       
    • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) officially out
      Giannis Antetkounmpo (left soleus strain) has been ruled out for Game 6 against Indiana on Thursday.

      Advice: As expected, Giannis will remain sidelined for Game 6. Bobby Portis is coming off of a 29-point performance and should continue to start in his place. It is unclear if Giannis will be able to return for a potential Game 7. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:35 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 6
      Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo was doubtful for Thursday's matchup, but he went through pregame warmups and was considered a game-time decision. However, he never shed his doubtful tag and will be unavailable for a ninth consecutive game. If the Bucks win Game 6 and keep their season alive, Antetokounmpo could be in the mix to return to action. Despite Antetokounmpo's absence, Milwaukee will get a boost for Thursday's matchup since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been cleared to play. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:34 pm
