    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 5 Tues.
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable to play in Game 5 against Minnesota on Tuesday.

      Advice: Murray continues to deal with this calf injury, but it hasn’t force him to miss any time during this postseason. That likely won’t start in a pivotal Game 5, though if something changes, Reggie Jackson would start in his place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Listed as questionable again
      Murray is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf strain.

      Advice: After a tumultuous Game 2, Murray and the Nuggets rebounded for back-to-back wins in Minnesota to even the series. While the calf injury remains a storyline for the point guard, Murray hasn't looked bothered by the issue over the last two games, as he's averaged 21.5 points, 6.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 38.5 minutes. Murray is likely more probable than questionable for Game 5, but his official availability could come down to a game-time decision. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Scores 19 points in Game 4 win
      Murray provided 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 win over Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Murray drained a half-court buzzer-beater to end the first half and finished just two assists shy of posting what would've been his first double-double of the series. The shooting woes remain for Murray, however, as he's hitting just 40 percent of his field goals so far in the four games against Minnesota, but he seems to be trending in the right direction after scoring 19 or more points in his last two contests.

    • Jamal Murray, Reggie Jackson, KCP available Sunday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain), Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (right abdominal contusion) are all available for Sunday’s Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: All three players will be available despite sporting questionable tags heading into Sunday’s pivotal matchup in Minnesota. The Nuggets can even up the series before heading back to Ball Arena, so the availability of the trio is crucial. All three should handle their typical workloads. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:44 pm
       
    • Available for Game 4
      Murray (calf) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Murray has been dealing with a calf injury throughout the series and is yet to miss a game, so it isn't surprising to see him shed another questionable tag. After struggling in the first two games of the series, Murray bounced back in Game 3 with a 24-point outing on solid efficiency, and he will look to carry that momentum over to Sunday's matchup.

    • T.J. McConnell finishes with 15 points, 10 assists
      T.J. McConnell finished Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Knicks with 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

      Advice: While the decision to shift Aaron Nesmith onto Jalen Brunson has received a lot of attention, and rightfully so, McConnell’s role has also been significant. The veteran point guard took on the task when Nesmith (8/12/1/0/1 in 24 minutes) wasn’t in the game, and he was highly impactful in both of Indiana’s wins at home. In addition to being a pest on the defensive end of the floor, McConnell recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists. For those interested in this series for betting purposes, McConnell is worth considering for prop bet action. Game 5 is on Monday in New York, with the teams tied at two wins each.

    • Listed as questionable
      Murray (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Murray has been playing through questionable tags for the entirety of the series so far, so fantasy managers can expect the same to continue Sunday. Murray looked sharp in Friday's Game 3, producing 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and three steals over 38 minutes. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:03 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 4 Sunday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Murray is back on the injury report, but the calf strain has not forced him to miss any games. He looked much better in Friday’s Game 3 victory, played after a three-day break in the series. The lingering question is whether Murray can play that well after just one day of rest between games.

    • Jamal Murray bounces back, scores 24 points Friday
      Jamal Murray finished Friday’s Game 3 win over the Timberwolves with 24 points (11-of-21 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: Having struggled through a calf injury in the first two games, Murray appeared to benefit from the three days off between Games 2 and 3. He looked sharp on offense, shooting better than 50% from the field while tying for the team-high in scoring with Nikola Jokic. The question is how fresh Murray will be on Sunday night, as the Nuggets will only have one day off. He may appear on the injury report ahead of Game 4, but DFS players and bettors should operate under the assumption that Murray will play. Rotoworld Friday, 9:17 pm
