Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Game 5 Injury Report Revealed
The Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns face off in a pivotal Game 5 where the injury story remains the same as it was in the previous two games.
For the Nuggets, there is not a single player listed on their injury report. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. are all listed as available.
The Phoenix Suns will remain without Chris Paul who was injured with a left groin strain since Game 2. It's interesting to note that the Phoenix Suns have not lost a game since Paul was injured and actually look better at times. He had his moments against a slower-paced team like the LA Clippers, but missing him doesn't seem to be a huge detriment against the Denver Nuggets.
It looked like the Denver Nuggets had all the momentum in the world when they entered Phoenix for Game 3. Since then, they have not won a game and now the series is tied 2-2. The games have been close, and the Suns have not been dominating the Nuggets, but games being close does not change things being 2-2.
There's one thing that's been very clear for the Denver Nuggets in these past two games. If they can't stop Devin Booker, then their bench simply needs to be better. The Nuggets bench has gotten demolished in the last two games by the likes of Landry Shamet and Jock Landale - that just can't happen.
The Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns face off in Game 5 at 10:00 pm ET tonight.
