Jamal Murray Upgraded to Available for Monday
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (shin) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets despite a left shin/tibia contusion. Murray was part of a crowded injury report after Denver's travel problems out of Mexico City disrupted its preparation for the game. The 29-year-old has led the Nuggets in scoring through eight appearances, averaging 24.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists. He's also logging 36.6 minutes per game, the second-highest mark in the league. Murray is cleared for his usual role Monday, though the heavy workload makes the shin worth monitoring.

Jamal Murray Iffy for Monday at Houston
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (shin) is questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets with a left shin/tibia contusion. Murray had 16 points, eight assists, and six rebounds over 34 minutes in Saturday's win over Indiana and is averaging 24.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists through eight games. Denver's other four starters are also questionable following a lengthy travel delay out of Mexico City, while DeMar DeRozan (back) is on the injury report as well. Tyus Jones would be in line for more minutes and ball-handling duties if Murray can't go.

Jamal Murray Leads Nuggets with 21 Points in Preseason Finale
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored a game-high 21 points in Friday's 121-106 preseason win over the Los Angeles Lakers, adding three rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 31 minutes. He shot 8-for-15 from the field and scored 10 points in the first quarter, though he missed all three of his attempts from deep. That isn't much of a concern after Murray shot 43.5% from three last season while averaging career highs of 25.4 points and 7.1 assists. DeMar DeRozan should handle plenty of second-unit offense, leaving Murray firmly in place as Denver's No. 2 option behind Nikola Jokic.

Boopie Miller Set to Sign Exhibit 10 Deal with Denver
Guard Boopie Miller has received a training camp invite from the Denver Nuggets and is expected to sign an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line. The 23-year-old went undrafted after earning All-ACC Second Team honors at SMU, where he averaged 19.1 points, 6.4 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 41.4 percent from three. Miller also played for Milwaukee during Summer League. Denver already has Jamal Murray and Tyus Jones at point guard, with KJ Simpson also competing for backcourt minutes. That leaves Miller with a difficult path to an NBA role, and his clearest route may run through the Grand Rapids Gold. He remains off the fantasy radar for now.

KJ Simpson Leads Nuggets Past Timberwolves
Denver Nuggets guard KJ Simpson racked up 19 points (6-for-15 on field goals, 3-for-8 from three) with four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 101-82 Summer League win over Minnesota. The former Colorado standout ran the offense all night, and Denver sagged whenever he sat. He paced the Nuggets with 17 points and nine assists in the opener against Houston. Waived by Charlotte in February before signing a two-way deal, Simpson is auditioning for a rotation spot. His playmaking strengthens that case, but his fantasy value stays speculative until he earns minutes on Denver's deep backcourt.

Tyus Jones Returns to Nuggets on One-Year Deal
Free-agent guard Tyus Jones agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Denver Nuggets, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Jones joined Denver on the buyout market last season after a reduced role elsewhere and finished the year averaging 3.0 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. The 30-year-old gives the Nuggets a steady reserve ball-handler behind Jamal Murray and another low-mistake passer for second-unit groups that can still run through Nikola Jokić. Jones' assist-to-turnover profile is useful in real basketball, but his fantasy value will likely stay thin unless Denver gives him a larger bench role or Murray misses time.
