Coming off wins against two other Western Conference teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Our updates will be here.

Jamal Murray, the last standing starter for the Denver Nuggets put the team on his back against the Cavs and fans are loving it.

The injury-plagued Denver Nuggets don’t have a true healthy center on their roster after losing three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and backup Jonas Valanciunas earlier this week.

Denver has suffered a rash of injuries, including to Nikola Jokić. Luckily, Murray is playing at an All-Star level after a summer of rest.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Nuggets had trade talks with the Hawks centering around both De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic before both were inevitably moved to other destinations.

New starting Nuggets small forward Cameron Johnson suffered a knee injury on Dec. 23 and is slated to miss the next three-to-five weeks. Most devastatingly, three-time MVP center Nikola Jokic will be unavailable for the next four weeks due to a hyperextended left knee. He’s been out since a Dec. 29 blowout loss to the Miami Heat.
