Jamal Murray Cleared to Play vs. Cavaliers, Expected High Usage

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is officially available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, marking his 25th consecutive appearance. Upgraded from probable, Murray is the lone healthy Opening Night starter with Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, and Cameron Johnson all sidelined. He's expected to command significant usage. Earlier, Murray was also highlighted as a top daily fantasy basketball pick for Friday's slate by SportsLine's Mike McClure.
