The Denver Nuggets are on a two-game losing streak and have won just four of their past 10 games. This has seen them lose their lead for the third spot in the Western standings. They are now just 0.5 games ahead of the LA Lakers and 1.5 games ahead of the Golden State Warriors, whom they play on Friday.

Denver has been plagued by injury concerns in recent times. It was without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon when it lost 113-106 to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Russell Westbrook led the charge with 30 points, while Jalen Pickett had a triple-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

With a crucial game on Friday that could have severe seeding implications, let’s take a look at Denver’s injury report.
