The Indiana Pacers will get set to take on the Denver Nuggets for their 56th game of the 2024-25 season. The Pacers will have their hands full tonight as they get set to host one of the best teams in the league. 

Indiana has been on a roll since the calendar flipped to 2025, and they'll look to continue that on Monday. However, the Nuggets will be as healthy as they've been all season long, as they'll have their star guard Jamal Murray for tonight's game. 

Murray has been upgraded from probable to active. 

He landed on the injury report due to due to left knee inflammation. He has only missed one game since the start of the new year and has been cleared to play. 

He's averaged 26.9 points on 54.5 percent shooting (including 45.7 percent from three on 7.0 3PA/G), 6.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals over 36.1 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

The last time he was on the court, he was pretty solid against the Los Angeles Lakers. In that outing, he recorded 19 points, six assists, three rebounds, and two steals in 36 minutes of action.
