Jamal Murray (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain and has been listed as questionable for their Friday night matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. This could be Murray's third straight missed contest, which would be a big blow since
Nikola Jokic (ankle) will miss his third straight game. If Murray doesn't suit up,
Christian Braun (foot) will likely see a bump in usage while
Russell Westbrook will continue to see playing time with the starting five. On Wednesday night, Westbrook finished with 12 points, nine assists, four rebounds, and two steals while Braun registered 10 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

Russell Westbrook is set to receive the keys to the backcourt again. He racked up 12 points, 12 rebounds, 16 assists, two blocks, and three steals in 42 minutes when Murray exited the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors.

Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. After making 16 consecutive appearances, Murray came out of the lineup on Monday against the Golden State Warriors due to an ankle sprain. With Murray out and

Russell Westbrook ran the offense on Monday, finishing with a triple-double that included a season-high 16 assists. At the same time,
Aaron Gordon took on a lot more offensive duties, leading all scorers with a season-high 38 points.
