"The Nuggets will be without Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, and Christian Braun on Sunday, after all four players missed Friday's 127-107 win over Oklahoma City."
"If the Nuggets fall to No. 4, they will host the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs, while as the No. 3 seed, they would face the Minnesota Timberwolves."
The Denver Nuggets ruled out most of their regular rotation for the final game against the San Antonio Spurs, with Nikola Jokic listed as questionable. The Nuggets prioritize health ahead of the postseason, which could affect their standings. Currently, they are the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference but could drop to No. 4 if the Los Angeles Lakers win. Key players like Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon are also out, while the Spurs are locked in as the No. 2 seed.
