the Denver Nags The face face Thursday night against Oklahoma City ThunderAnd their opportunity to expand the series to force game 7 may have hit an obstacle. On the latest injury report, Murray beauty It is listed as doubtful with a disease.

It is unclear what is this disease or how dangerous, but it relates to the Denver season at stake. If Murray is dealing with any disease heading to the Thursday night match, he can endanger Nagsz’s chances of installing a return in this series.

Murray got 28 points in Denver’s loss in game 5, and although it was not an effective night for him, he was the only Nags player who gave any quality support to Nicolas Gokic, who had 44 points, 15 rebounds and five passes. Murray is undoubtedly the second most important Denver player, and when he does not work 100 %, he only eases the problems of Nags.

But just because Murray is listed as doubtful at the present time, it does not mean that he will not play. In fact, it will be somewhat surprising if he sat from this game. But how many of the effects will happen while he is on the ground is a different story. Murray had a series of ups and downs against thunder. In the two games, Denver won, average of 24 points over 42 % of the land, and in the three losses, he achieved 19.6 points at 38.2 % of the field. You have been fought to record the result efficiently, but you have many Denver players, including Jokić. But whether Murray is effective or not, her nuggets need him completely on the ground and put points if Denver has any shot to force game 7.

Outside Murray, the nuggets need more likes Michael Porter Junior. and Christian BrownThose who were collected for only 10 points in 4 of 19 of the Earth. Porter Junior plays with a shoulder injury, which certainly affected the shooting, and may be brown – impressive like his development this season – exceeds the category of weight in the starting assortment. But after he left Denver Kentavium CALDWLLL-POPE Walking last summer, Brown was the best internal alternative. It has achieved great steps, as it reached nearly 16 points in the normal season, but in the qualifiers, this number decreased to 11.3 points and its efficiency decreased dramatically to 43 %, much lower than 58 %, which was average this season.

If Murray is not 100 % operating, he will increase the pressure on Brown and Porter Junior and Harun Gordon To intensify their game and make sure that Jokić does not do everything himself again.
