After a disappointing loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Denver Nuggets face off against the Portland Trail Blazers in a game they're hoping to bounce back in.

The Nuggets have seven names listed on their injury report: Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Vlatko Cancar, Jalen Pickett, Julian Strawther, Hunter Tyson, and Peyton Watson. 

Nikola Jokic missed the last game against the Thunder and is questionable tonight with lower back pain. Jamal Murray is probable with a left knee contusion, Vlatko Cancar is out with left knee surgery, Jalen Pickett is out due to a G League assignment, Julian Strawther is questionable with a right knee contusion/sprain, Hunter Tyson is out with a G League assignment, and Peyton Watson is probable with a left knee contusion.

The Portland Trail Blazers have four players listed on their injury report: Moses Brown, Rayan Rupert, Shaedon Sharpe, and Robert Williams III. Moses Brown is out due to a left wrist fracture, Rayan Rupert is questionable with a G League assignment, Shaedon Sharpe is out due to a lower abdominal strain, and Robert Williams III is out due to a right knee ligament tear.

Regardless of whether Jokic is playing, the Nuggets can't afford to sleep on a Blazers team that just took down the Milwaukee Bucks last game. Portland will definitely be energized after their fantastic win on Wednesday night.

The Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers face off at 9:00 p.m. EST tonight.
