NBC SportsJamal Murray (left knee inflammation) is available for Friday's game against the Heat.

Initially probable for Friday's game, Murray has been given the all-clear to play. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Russell Westbrook, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., and Nikola Jokic completing the quintet.

NBC SportsRussell Westbrook, Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., and DeAndre Jordan will start Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

The Nuggets are without Nikola Jokic for Wednesday's game, with the reigning MVP sidelined by right elbow inflammation. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by Jordan, who can provide rebounds and a high field goal percentage in this role. Dario Saric will provide depth off the bench. Denver's other four starters are unchanged.

NBC SportsMichael Porter Jr. amassed 17 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, two steals, two blocks, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Friday's win over Brooklyn.

Between Nikola Jokic's consistent excellence and Russell Westbrook's revival, Porter's progress may be overlooked in some circles. He recorded a complete stat line on Friday and has been a valuable player to have rostered in fantasy leagues. Over the past two weeks, Porter has been a top-40 player in 9-cat formats, providing 6th-round value for the season. He'll look to end Week 11 on a high when the Nuggets visit Dallas on Sunday.

NBC SportsNuggets will start Jamal Murray, Russell Westbrook, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr. and DeAndre Jordan for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Dario Saric started Tuesday's game with Nikola Jokic out with an illness. The Nuggets are making the switch to DeAndre Jordan for Wednesday's game against the Clippers. Neither big man was effective in Tuesday's game, but Jordan can certainly help out in the rebounding category if he's going to see starter-level minutes.

NBC SportsMichael Porter Jr. accumulated 15 points (5-of-13 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes in Tuesday's loss to Boston.

Porter has recorded a double-double in consecutive games for the second time this season. He's been consistently productive, providing 6th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats. If there has been a negative recently, Porter's rebounding production has been down since the Nuggets lost Aaron Gordon to a strained calf. However, he's picked that up in Denver's last two games. Hopefully, Porter can keep that going for the rest of Week 11.
