The Denver Nuggets have not had any significant injuries since Jamal Murray's hamstring issues in the first month of the season. They also endured a couple of games without Aaron Gordon after Christmas when he was attacked by his dog.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been relatively healthy this season. They recently lost Tyrese Haliburton to a strained hamstring for five games, which was initially feared to be a major injury.
