Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are both questionable for the Nuggets vs. Suns game on Saturday, Feb. 8.

Murray, who missed Thursday’s game against the Magic, could be in line for a second straight absence due to a knee injury. Porter, on the other hand, hasn’t missed a game this season but is dealing with hamstring tightness.

The two have helped the Nuggets climb into the third seed in the Western Conference with a 33-19 record. They’re 7-3 in their last 10 and have won five straight.

Porter is on a three-game streak of scoring at least 30 points. He’s increased his season averages to 19 points and 6.5 rebounds per game on 52.3 percent shooting and 41.7 percent from deep. Murray is averaging 20.2 points, 6.1 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.
