One day after Denver held off a scrappy Blazers team in a physical contest, Altitude Sports’ Chris Dempsey reports that the Nuggets will not play their full squad in the rematch. They are currently planning to sit Paul Millsap, Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray Sunday night for the game in Moda Center.
On the other side of the coin, the Blazers are hoping to have part of their core return to action. CJ McCollum (knee) and Seth Curry (leg) were both upgraded to probable for the same game.
