Michael Porter Jr.

Following a two-game absence, MPJ will be back in the lineup. Denver was without all five starters against San Antonio on Wednesday, but they should be back at full strength against Golden State, with only Jamal Murray listed as questionable.

Less than 24 hours after losing a double-overtime thriller to the Timberwolves, Denver will play Wednesday's game without its entire starting five. Porter and Gordon's absences free up minutes for Peyton Watson (if he can play) and Hunter Tyson. Watson is a game-time decision due to an inflamed right knee. If cleared, Watson would be the preferred streamer, but Tyson is also worth the risk.

Gordon did some heavy lifting his last time out by scoring 30 points in 47 minutes while MPJ missed the contest for personal reasons. Peyton Watson could take advantage of Denver being short on lengthy wings, though he is also questionable due to right knee inflammation. There are too many unknowns at this point to know what the Nuggets' rotation will look like against San Antonio.

Watson started on Tuesday with Michael Porter Jr. sidelined, but with six rotation players questionable against San Antonio, including all five starters, Denver's lineup could look quite strange on Wednesday. Watson will only continue to start if other players are sidelined, while Braun should remain in his typical starting spot if available. Russell Westbrook should be next in line to move into the starting lineup, depending on who is made available.
