On Saturday evening, the Denver Nuggets will host the Atlanta Hawks in Colorado.

For the game, the Nuggets could remain without one of their best players, as NBA Champion point guard Jamal Murray is on the injury report.

The former Kentucky star has missed each of the previous seven games, so this would be his eighth straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).
