Center Nikola Jokic and guard Jamal Murray are both on the injury report entering the game. Both players have been listed as probable for this game and will play against Los Angeles.

Will three-time MVP Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, in the midst of potentially his best individual season, be available for Friday night's critical clash against what is essentially the Los Angeles Lakers' JV team?

On the other side, the Lakers will also be shorthanded. Los Angeles has ruled out LeBron James, who continues to recover from a groin injury and they have also ruled out Luka Doncic due to left calf injury management and a right ankle sprain.
