Denver Nuggets Injury Report For Game 1
On Thursday evening, the Denver Nuggets will host the Miami Heat in Colorado for Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
For the game, the Nuggets are fully healthy, as no one is on their injury report.
The Nuggets are the first seed in the Western Conference Finals and have beaten the Minnesota Timberwolves (eighth seed), Phoenix Suns (fourth seed) and Los Angeles Lakers (seventh seed) through the first three rounds of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
Despite many good teams over the years, this is the first time the franchise has ever made the Finals.
Last year, the Nuggets dealt with injuries and lost in the first round.
Now that they are healthy, the team has shown what they are capable of, as Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are arguably the best duo in the league.
As for the Heat, they are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and have defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (first seed), New York Knicks (fifth seed) and Boston Celtics (second seed) in the first three rounds.
The Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, so they have been off for over a week.
Meanwhile, the Heat's series with the Celtics went seven games and only ended on Monday.
Therefore, the Nuggets will be the much more rested team going into the Finals.
This is the second time in the previous four seasons that the Heat have been to the Finals, but they have yet to win a title since the 2013 season when LeBron James was still on the roster.
