Murray struggled with his shot in Game 1 but was able to improve his shooting efficiency in Game 2. However, that wasn’t enough to help Denver defend their homecourt. Murray was able to make a strong impact and hit a triple to tie the game at 100 with 2:07 left in the fourth. However, that ended up being his final shot attempt of the night. The Nuggets ceded homecourt advantage by losing this game, and they’ll need to win one of the next two games to get it back. Game 3 will be in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Denver has much on the line for Sunday’s regular-season finale, as they can finish anywhere from fourth to seventh, depending on the day’s results. Murray is good to go, meaning the Nuggets can roll with their usual starting five. Jalen Pickett misses out on a boost to his fantasy value.

While their opposition is locked into the two-seed in the West, the Nuggets still have plenty to play for on Sunday. Denver can finish anywhere from fourth to eighth, depending on how things play out. Murray is the lone rotation player on the injury report, and the probable tag suggests he will be in the lineup. Jalen Pickett will move into the starting lineup if Murray cannot play.
