The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, and star guard Jamal Murray is being listed as questionable with bilateral tibia inflammation. Murray has not missed a game since December 12th, as he has been very durable for the Nuggets this season after his 11-game injury absence in November. Star center Nikola Jokic is not listed on the injury report, and will play.

This is a big game for both teams entering the All-Star break, as Denver enters this game two games back of first place in the Western Conference, and the Kings enter this game 1.5 games back of the fifth seed.

Sacramento is currently 8th in the Western Conference, which has them in the play-in picture, but they certainly have a chance to avoid the play-in and secure a top-6 seed. This won't be easy, as there are a lot of very competitive teams battling for a top-6 spot, but the Kings are right there.

Denver has been in a back-and-forth battle atop the Western Conference for several weeks with the Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers, and OKC Thunder. None of these teams have given much ground, as they all continue to win games at a very high rate. This puts pressure on the defending champions to continue playing well if they want to regain their spot atop the Western Conference.

The Nuggets and Kings will begin at 6:00 PM PST.
