The Denver Nuggets now have the upper hand in their close series with the Clippers. They convincingly won Game 5 with a final score of 131-115.

But can he repeat his heroics for the Nuggets in Game 6 and bounce the Clippers in Game 6? Or has an injury popped up at the last moment, halting his momentum? Let’s find out by looking at the Nuggets’ injury report for Game 6.

Denver Nuggets Injury Report – Will Jamal Murray play in Game 6?
Jamal Murray went off in Game 5 for the Nuggets. He recorded 43 points, going 17/26 from the field against the Clippers. It was an incredible showing from Murray, and it gave the Clippers no shot at getting back into the game. And the Nuggets’ latest injury report tells us that he won’t have any problems doing it again for his team.
Jamal Murray is not on the Nuggets’ injury report for this game. Nor are there any reports about him getting injured in training ahead of this upcoming game. This all means he’s AVAILABLE for head coach David Adelman to name in the lineup for Game 6.

But just because Murray is out of the woods for this game doesn’t mean everyone is healthy for the Nuggets. DaRon Holmes II remains OUT of the Clippers’ lineup for this series. Yes, the whole series and possibly the entire postseason if the Nuggets advance to the later rounds. Why? Well, he’s had his Achilles tendon surgically repaired and is on the long road to recovery from that surgery.
But that’s it for the Nuggets’ injuries. Quite a good thing to have such an empty injury report. Their opponents, the Clippers, are somehow in a better position, injury-wise at least. None of their players are injured, and because of that, they haven’t submitted an injury report at all.
Nonetheless, it’s what happens on the court that matters. And the Nuggets now have a golden opportunity on their hands to dispatch the Clippers in the upcoming game. But who will be on the court trying to get that job done? Let’s see.

Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers – predicted starting lineup and depth chart
The Nuggets’ rotation for the postseason is finally beginning to find its feet in this series. Nikola Jokic, after a few hiccups, is back to his usual, dominant self. And the pair of Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon is also firing on all cylinders now. Considering that, don’t expect the lineup to shift massively for this upcoming, divisive game.
POSITION | STARTER | 2nd UNIT | 3rd UNIT |
PG | Jamal Murray | Russell Westbrook | Jalen Pickett |
SG | Christian Braun | Jalen Pickett | Julian Strawther |
SF | Michael Porter Jr | Christian Braun | Peyton Watson |
PF | Aaron Gordon | Peyton Watson | Vlatko Cancar |
C | Nikola Jokic | DeAndre Jordan | Aaron Gordon |

It’s not just the stars that are showing up for the Nuggets now. Even players on the fringes of stardom, like Christian Braun, stepped up for the Nuggets in the last game. The 24-year-old grabbed 12 rebounds for the Nuggets in their last outing. And those boards went a long way in disrupting the Clippers’ rhythm.
Additionally, Russell Westbrook also looked phenomenal coming off the bench. He put up 21 points in Game 5, easing the offensive off Nikola Jokic’s shoulders. Ultimately, this is what the Clippers need in Game 6 — variety in their threats. If multiple players can rise to the occasion for them in Game 6, then that’s the end of the series. If not, then they need to get ready for a Game 7!
