Injury Report: Denver Nuggets vs. Detroit Pistons

The Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons have released their injury reports

The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, and both teams have released their injury reports for this game. For Denver, they will be without Jamal Murray and Vlatko Cancar. For Detroit, they will be without Bojan Bogdanovic, Malcolm Cazalon, Joe Harris, Monte Morris, and Jared Rhoden. Killian Hayes is probable for Detroit, and Isaiah Livers and Jalen Duren are questionable.

Detroit's injury report is much more extensive than Denver's, as the defending champions have reminded mostly healthy this season outside of Jamal Murray's injury. Murray's absence has been a big one for Denver, as they have gone just 3-3 since he went down. 

While superstar center Nikola Jokic has still be putting up monster numbers since Murray went down, and has very much been doing his part, Denver's supporting cast has been up and down. It can be easy to look at Jokic and believe his production will make up for the absence of Murray, but it's often the others who need to step up for Denver, especially when teams throw multiple defenders at Jokic.

The Pistons are currently the worst team in the NBA, so this is undoubtedly a game the Nuggets should win. Even without Murray, Denver has much more talent than Detroit does, and needs to take care of business in this game.
