Injuries have played a factor all season and continue to play havoc with the lineup. Gary Harris returned to the lineup last night after missing the previous game due to a sore elbow. Emmanuel Mudiay missed his third game with an ankle sprain and is listed as unlikely for the weekend. Paul Millsap will remain out until the end of February at a minimum.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]In his four games back Nikola Jokic is averaging 18.75 points, 8.75 rebounds and 4.0 assists. As he shakes off the rust Jokic is experiencing fluctuations in production. In the game versus the Wolves he scored 22 points but coughed up the ball 10 times. However, last night he found a rhythm closer to prime Jokic with a stat line of 27 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.
Prior to the Blazers game Jamal Murray had produced double digit scoring in all but one December game (Magic). During the month he’s averaged 18.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and is shooting a blistering 51.3 percent from deep.
Golden State Warriors
In spite of copious injuries to the core unit the Warriors continue to win. In the first seven games the Warriors lost three times. Golden State has as many losses in their next 24 games.
Core members have missed multiple games with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green being the most recent core players to miss time. In fact, only Klay Thompson has played in all 31 games. Five members of the team’s roster entered Friday night on the injured list.
Curry’s ankle is expected to keep him out until the New Year. Green (shoulder) missed four consecutive games and Andre Iguodala (illness) missed one game, but both returned to play versus the Lakers. Zaza Pachulia (shoulder) and Shaun Livingston (knee) have missed six and three games respectively and are expected to remain out this evening.
