Perhaps the most impressive part of Denver sitting atop the Western Conference standings as they approach the midway point of the season is the number of injuries the team has dealt with. Starters Will Barton (35 games), Gary Harris (13 games) and Paul Millsap (eight games) have missed a combined 56 games with injuries while free agent acquisition Isaiah Thomas and draft picks Michael Porter Jr. and Jarred Vanderbilt have yet to make their season debuts.
Both Harris and Millsap recently returned to action and Will Barton is nearing his return, but it has been Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray that have paced the Nuggets during their recent streak. Over the past five-game stretch, Jokic is averaging 25.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 9.0 assists while shooting 59.1 percent from the field; Murray is averaging 25.8 points, 5.8 assists and 5.6 rebounds while shooting a red-hot 56.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Denver will lean on the duo of Jokic and Murray when it opens the week with a back-to-back – the team visits James Harden and the Rockets Monday before travelling to Miami to take on the Heat Tuesday. The Nuggets return home to host the Clippers on NBA TV Canada Thursday before closing the week with a back-to-back as they visit the Suns Saturday before closing the week at home against the Trail Blazers on NBA TV Canada.
