1 min agoDenver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns. Murray is dealing with a sprained right ankle but has not missed a game in two weeks. Considering the Nuggets are on the second leg of a back-to-back tonight, with a Christmas Day rematch against the same Suns on deck, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Nuggets rest their starting point guard. Murray has turned it up over his last four games averaging 24.8 PPG while shooting 39.3% from three. If he is unable to go tonight, expect Russell Westbrook to slide into the starting lineup. Westbrook has been inconsistent as a starter, putting up 18 more points in three starts while failing to score 10 or more points in the other three. However, the veteran has dished out 10 assists in three of those starts, so will be a viable fantasy option if Murray is unable to go.—Kevin Larson – RotoBaller
