IMAGE SOURCE The other half of San Antonio Spurs and Denver Nuggets, who are attracted by the fierce battle, are also attracting a lot of attention. Denver, who had a solid organization of basketball centered around Nikola Jokic this season, managed to advance to the Play Off with the top of the Western Conference throughout the season. Bench members will play well in the middle of the season, but they will overcome the crisis, and Denver will be in the playoffs as a potential candidate for the Western Conference finals. However, with young players including Jokic playing the lead role, the fact that most of the players lack experience in play-offs is expected to be a variable. On the other hand, San Antonio Spurs has had the same season with roller coasters, experiencing a lack of energy levels and limited roster configurations this season. ▶ BROOKLYN NETS Allen Crabbe - right knee injury (indefinite out) ▶ PHILADELPHIA 76ERS Jonah Bolden - Left Knee Injury (Questionable) Joel Embiid - Left Knee Injury (Questionable) James Ennis III - Right Shank Injury (Out, Day-to-Day) ▶ ORLANDO MAGIC Troy Caupain - Resting colon Amile Jefferson - Restless colon Mohamed Bamba - left shin foot fracture (season out) Markelle Fultz - left shoulder injury (season out) Timofey Mozgov - right knee injury (season out) ▶ TORONTO RAPTORS OG Anunoby - Appendectomy (out, Day-to-Day) Patrick McCaw - Right thumb injury (indefinite out) ▶ LA CLIPPERS Injured player X ▶ GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS Damian Jones - Thorax injury (season out) ▶ SAN ANTONIO SPURS Dejounte Murray - left knee injury (season out) ▶ DENVER NUGGET Michael Porter Jr. - back injury (season out) Players who are marked as Probable (Questionable) or Questionable (Decision before the start of the game) may change their status before the start of the game depending on the situation.
