The Denver Nuggets are gearing up to face the Utah Jazz in an upcoming game in Salt Lake City. As the two teams prepare to clash, let’s take a look at the injury report for the game.

The Nuggets currently hold a 2-1 lead in the regular season series against the Jazz. However, Denver has not secured a victory in Utah since 2020. With the Jazz missing several key players, including John Collins, Walker Kessler, Kris Dunn, Jordan Clarkson, and Lauri Markannen, the Nuggets see an opportunity to clinch a win in Salt Lake City.

Denver boasts a season record of 54-24 and is tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference standings. Their upcoming game against the Timberwolves could potentially determine the seeding battle in the West. Additionally, this game marks the conclusion of Denver’s 13th back-to-back of the season.

One player to keep an eye on is Jamal Murray, who recently made a triumphant return to the court after missing seven consecutive games. Despite being on a minutes restriction, Murray delivered an impressive performance against the Atlanta Hawks, scoring 16 points and recording 6 assists in just 21 minutes of play. It is likely that his minutes will continue to be limited, especially considering it is the first game of a back-to-back.
