Jamal Murray (calf) — Available
Vlatko Cancar (knee) — Injured
Murray was considered questionable with the same calf strain heading into the Nuggets' Game 5 win over the Lakers and ended up playing over 40 minutes. With four full days off in between games, this appears to be more of a precautionary "questionable" tag than anything—it would be hugely surprising if Murray were even limited, let alone didn't play. Coach Malone said Caldwell-Pope fully participated in Denver’s two practices this week after dealing with an ankle issue in Game 5.
