Scores 25 points in loss Murray ended with 25 points (9-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Murray struggled in the first half but scored 17 of his 25 points in the second, albeit in a losing effort. The star point guard didn't impress from beyond the arc, though he still finished as Denver's second-leading scorer. He has reached the 20-point threshold in five of the Nuggets' six outings since the All-Star break, with the only exception being Wednesday's win over Boston when he played just eight minutes due to an illness.

Paces bench in loss Hardaway finished with 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 34 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Hardaway provided a much-needed spark off the bench and was the only member of Denver's second unit to score more than six points. The veteran swingman was the Nuggets' third-leading scorer and reached double figures for a third consecutive contest. Still, Hardaway doesn't offer much besides points and triples from a fantasy perspective, and he's been inconsistent from downtown of late.

Sniffs triple-double in win Jokic chipped in 35 points (15-26 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Jokic once again led the Nuggets in points, rebounds and assists, though it wasn't enough to power his team to victory. While the superstar big man was efficient from the field and posted elite numbers, turnovers were a problem yet again. He gave the ball away a game-high five times and has committed at least three turnovers in three of his last four outings. He also struggled from three-point range, where he has shot just 25.9 percent over the last three games. Regardless, Jokic has racked up three double-doubles and two triple-doubles over six outings since the All-Star break.

Impact Johnson shook off a probable tag due to right ankle inflammation ahead of Sunday's contest, though he struggled mightily and was unable to close the game out. The 29-year-old forward faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up in Monday's game in Utah. If he's forced to miss time, Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway and Spencer Jones (shoulder) would be candidates for increased minutes.

Now doubtful to return Sunday Johnson is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against Minnesota due to right ankle soreness.

Impact Johnson is not expected to return in the final minutes of Sunday's contest after being held scoreless in 23 minutes before heading to the locker room in the fourth quarter. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 29-year-old forward pop up on the injury report ahead of Monday's game in Utah.

Exits to locker room Johnson (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly why Johnson exited to the locker room, though it's worth noting he was listed as probable with right ankle inflammation before being cleared to play. He should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Out for Sunday Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones was previously listed as questionable due to a right shoulder strain, an injury he appeared to aggravate during Friday's overtime loss to the Thunder. The second-year forward has dealt with a string of absences in February, previously missing time due to a concussion. With Jones sidelined Sunday alongside Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring), the Nuggets will likely lean more heavily on Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown to fill minutes on the wing

Cleared to play vs. Minnesota Johnson (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Johnson is working through right ankle inflammation, but he has been given the green light to play in the front end of the Nuggets' back-to-back set. He has averaged 11.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 0.8 steals over 32.5 minutes per game in his eight outings since returning from a 23-game absence due to a right knee contusion.
