    NBA: Could use any update on status of DEN Murray
    This is a big story:

    1) IMHO, if Murray is compromised 20%, there is no way for the Nuggets to recoup those points. A similar player is not on the Nugget roster.

    2) HC Malone was (surprisingly) quoted as saying that Murray was very limited in practice before Game 1.

    3) Think back to the DEN/Laker series. How lethargic did Denver look for much of that series? Denver struggled, and the Lakers are not a good team.

    4) Murray is actually listed as Questionable on the Injury Report.

    5) Murray deflected it in the Game 1 post-game, which is what one would expect. Realistically, he's going to play. I just question how effective he'll be.

      Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf strain.

      ANALYSIS


      Murray continues to play through the calf issue but wasn't at his best during Sunday's Game 1 loss, as he posted only 17 points and four assists. Despite not being 100 percent, he averaged 23.6 points, 7.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 39.8 minutes during the opening-round series against the Lakers, including two game-winning shots. Murray is likely more probable than questionable, but his official availability will be a game-time decision.

        Yeah, Nashy. I'd be shocked if he didn't play. Just a matter of how healthy he really is.

        On the Game One telecast, they made reference to Malone admitting to him being very limited in practice. I took that comment as honest, not a ploy. Murray not scoring in the 1h is a tell, imho.

              Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert is questionable for Monday's Game 2 due to personal reasons after becoming a father for the first time.

                    Thx, Cover. It's a big deal.

                    Won't say that MINN has no shot tonite. Reid has to come up big.

                      A certain fade "tout" is on Minny tonight. I'd stay away completely unless you can get a live bet you like.

                        They got popular after going 5-0 out of the gate. No way I'd bet MINN w/out Gobert tonite.

                          OK: Is Murray dinged up?

                          Knock on wood. Go, Wolves.

                            Wow, what a line move. MINN -4.5 for Game 3.

                            I've made my pro-Wolve opinion known. But this # is amazing. A few things need to be addressed:

                            1) Murray status. Is this guy banged up? Or has he just been locked up?

                            2) Gobert surely returns. So, scoring points gets even tougher for DEN.

                            3) DEN lost a few bench players from last year. DEN bench is not doing much.

                            4) AntMan is playing great. And Towns/Reid have had two good games.

                            As much as I like MINN, this # seems like it's over-shot. AntMan can't play any better, so that means he can only get worse. Are the Champs going to go out this easily?

                              Any chance Murray gets Suspended for Gm3? Him throwing the heat-pad onto the court is stupid/dangerous.

                              Game 3 line is now +5. I'm thinking there's a (slim) chance he gets suspended. Also, he is surely carrying an injury.

                                Nuggets out of the gates quickly. EZ to say now, but looks like they came to play.
