Injury report

The Nets are still without Ben Simmons and Lonnie Walker IV who are both progressing well in their recovery processes, but they’re not available for this game in Mile High City. Dennis Smith Jr. is still not active after issues with his back popped up again.

On the Nuggets’ side, the starting backcourt of Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope remain out with their ankle and head injuries respectively. They are also without backup big man Jay Huff and Vlatko Cancar’s long-term injury will keep him out indefinitely.

This game will be a fun one for both teams at Ball Arena as the Nets look to stop the defending champions on their home turf.
