Will the Purple and Gold be able to capitalize on some injury luck?
Will the Purple and Gold be able to capitalize on some injury luck in their ongoing 2-7 first round Western Conference playoff matchup against the Denver Nuggets ?, star Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray has strained his left calf, and is merely considered questionable to suit up for tonight's Game 5 in Denver. The Nuggets lead Los Angeles 3-1 in the series, and had run off to a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 start .
The 6'4" Kentucky product is Denver's second-most important player, beyond mega-star center Nikola Jokic, who's likely to win his third MVP in four seasons at some point this postseason. Murray's passing and clutch shooting have been an imperative release valve for the team's offense, giving it a dimensionality it would lack of only Jokic quarterbacked the club's attack.
Across four games in the series thus far, Murray's averaging 21.5 points on a patchy slash line of .380/.208/.846, 7.3 assists, five rebounds and 1.3 blocks a night, across 39.5 minutes per bout. Losing Murray at this juncture in the series, with Los Angeles gaining momentum after a commanding Game 4 victory, would be a pretty destablizing moment. His backup, Reggie Jackson, also has an injury, as he's dealing with a left ankle sprain, but Jackson is at least considered probable to suit up.LeBron James Had Epic Gift for Duquesne Basketball Team Ahead of NCAA Tournament
