Jamal Murray (illness) questionable for Nuggets in Game 1
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is questionable for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers due to an illness.
What It Means:
Murray was labeled questionable for the same reason ahead of Game 6, but he played 35 minutes and scored 26 points (7-16 field goals, 4-7 3-pointers, 8-8 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Bruce Brown and Christian Braun will be able to help fill the void in the backcourt if needed, but Murray should be fine.
numberFire's models project Murray for 40.1 minutes and 40.7 FanDuel points in Game 1 on Tuesday. He is averaging 38.5 minutes and 44.1 FanDuel points per game through 11 postseason games.
