Impact Green will likely miss his sixth consecutive game Friday due to a right knee contusion. Green's next chance to play will be Sunday's game against the Pelicans if he's unavailable versus Atlanta.

Jeff Green - Unlikely to play Friday Green (knee) is doubtful to play in Friday's game against the Hawks.
Michael Porter Jr. - Out again Friday Porter (heel) is out Friday against the Hawks.
Impact Porter will miss a fifth straight game with a bruised left heel, and the Nuggets continue to evaluate his status on a game-by-game basis. Vlatko Cancar, Davon Reed and Bruce Brown remain candidates for increased roles while Porter is sidelined.

Jamal Murray - Probable Friday Murray is probable for Friday's game at Atlanta due to a bruised right quad.
Impact After a choppy October, Murray has been more consistent this month. In 11 November appearances, he's averaged 20.0 points on 46/40/84 percent shooting, 5.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.1 minutes. The quad issue isn't expected to slow him down Friday.

Eric Gordon - Minimal production in loss Gordon amassed two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Gordon played a season-low 19 minutes during Wednesday's defeat, and he matched his season-low mark of four field-goal attempts during the loss. He also failed to contribute in any secondary categories while also committing three turnovers. Over his three appearances since returning to the court from a groin injury, he's averaged 9.3 points in 24.7 minutes per game.

Nikola Jokic - Sniffs triple-double in win Jokic produced 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 victory over the Rockets.
Impact Jokic finished just one rebound shy of posting what would've been his fourth triple-double of the campaign, but the star big man and two-time MVP winner has been flirting with that accomplishment every time he steps on the court. Jokic has been playing extremely well of late and has returned to the level of consistency and dominance he showed in each of the last two seasons. Over his last five games since returning from a spell in the league's health and safety protocols, Jokic is averaging 27.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game while recording five double-doubles.

Vlatko Cancar - Scores 13 points off bench Cancar produced 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and five rebounds across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 victory over Houston.
Impact Cancar has been playing well off the bench for the Nuggets and delivered another strong performance here, missing just one shot from the field and recording double-digit scoring numbers for the third time across his last four appearances. While Cancar is not expected to start anytime soon, he's averaging 11.3 points per game during that four-game stretch.

Jamal Murray - Getting in groove Murray closed with 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 win over Houston.
Impact Murray had lots of consistency issues in the opening weeks of the season, but that was to be expected considering he didn't play at all during the 2021-22 campaign while rehabbing from an ACL injury. The point guard is starting to find his rhythm, however, and he's now scored at least 20 points in three games in a row for the first time in the current season. Murray averaged 20.0 points, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game across 11 appearances in November.
