The five Nuggets who will be absent are:
Tamar Bates (G League two-way)
Christian Braun (left ankle sprain)
Aaron Gordon (right hamstring strain)
DaRon Holmes II (G League, assignment)
Julian Strawther (lower back injury management)
Denver knows it can rely on Jokic and Jamal Murray to carry whatever group is on the floor. The continued absences of Braun and Gordon aren't ideal, but the Nuggets' leaders should be able to weather the storm.
