Orlando Magic vs. Denver Nuggets - News - January 15, 2023 | FOX Sports

Vlatko Cancar - Iffy for Tuesday Cancar (lower leg) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Cancar missed Denver's last game due to a lower leg contusion and is at risk of missing a second consecutive contest. If that were to be the case, Christian Braun would be in line for another extended look off the bench.

Bones Hyland - Questionable Tuesday Hyland (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Hyland exited Sunday's game against the Magic due to a sprained right ankle, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available two days later. If he's sidelined against Portland, Bruce Brown could see increased playing time.

Collin Gillespie - Not playing Tuesday Gillespie (lower leg) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact The two-way rookie out of Villanova has yet to make his professional debut while he works his way back from the surgery he underwent earlier in the summer to repair a fractured right lower leg. The Nuggets haven't provided many specifics regarding where exactly Gillespie stands in his recovery, so he could still be a week or more away from playing in games. Expect the Nuggets to assign him to the G League's Grand Rapids Gold once he receives full medical clearance.

Jamal Murray - Likely to play Tuesday Murray is probable for Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Murray has been listed as probable before being upgraded to active in each of his last two games after exiting Wednesday's game due to an ankle injury. Tuesday's contest should be no different; however, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to tipoff considering the tilt is the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Bol Bol - Catches fire off bench Bol finished with 17 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes in Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Though Bol was able to provide a strong offensive spark off the bench, he played exactly 18 minutes for the second straight game in his return from a five-game absence while he was in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He's unlikely to see his playing-time outlook improve moving forward, as an already-crowded Orlando frontcourt is soon expected to add Jonathan Isaac (knee) back to the mix. One of Isaac, Bol or Moritz Wagner could be on the outside looking in for a rotation spot when the Magic are back to full strength.

Jamal Murray - Closes with 14 second-half points Murray notched 18 points (6-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Orlando.

Impact Murray couldn't find his shooting rhythm in the first half, knocking down just one of six field goal attempts and two free throws for a total of four points, while adding five assists and three rebounds. He fared better in the second half with 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting to help the Nuggets hang on for their sixth straight win. The point guard shot 35.3 percent from the field in the contest, his worst shooting percentage this month by a wide margin, though he's now scored at least 18 points in eight of his last 11 games.

Franz Wagner - Produces 19 points in loss Wagner logged 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Wagner made just two of six field goal attempts in the first half for seven points as the Magic fell behind by double digits. He picked up the pace a bit over the final two quarters with another 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, finishing second on the team in scoring to Markelle Fultz. Wagner has now scored 15 or more points in 12 straight games, shooting 51 percent from the field over that stretch.
