The Nuggets have only have one player listed on their injury report: Vlatko Cancar. Cancar is out due to left knee surgery and has been out for the majority of the season. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Nuggets' entire starting five lineup are listed as available against the Celtics.
The Boston Celtics have five players listed on their injury report: Jaylen Brown, JD Davison, Drew Peterson, Neemias Queta, and Jordan Walsh. Jaylen Brown is questionable with a sacroiliac strain, JD Davison is out with a G League two-way, Drew Peterson is out with a G League two-way, Neemias Queta is out with a right knee hyperextension, and Jordan Walsh is out on a G League assignment. In terms of injuries, the Celtics only have two potentially injured players.
Denver currently has a 1-0 season lead against the Celtics, taking the first game 102-100. Outside of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns, Denver was arguably the hottest team in the Western Conference.
