Look for offseason addition Bruce Brown to potentially get called up as the Nuggets' starting point guard for the night against Indiana, while in the frontcourt, fourth-year forward Peyton Watson could be the name elevated in place of Gordon thanks to his size, length, and defensive upside.

Indiana has also ruled out Tyrese Haliburton, T.J. McConnell, Johnny Furphy, Quenton Jackson, Kam Jones and Obi Toppin for Saturday’s game as they continue to be sidelined due to injuries. On the other side, the Nuggets enter Saturday’s game with two players listed on their injury report for Saturday's game.

The Pacers have dealt with injuries. Tyrese Haliburton (torn Achilles) is out for the season, T.J. McConnell (hamstring) has yet to play, and Bennedict Mathurin (big-toe sprain) and Andrew Nembhard (left shoulder strain) have not played since the first week of the season.

David Adelman played a 10-man rotation in the Nuggets’ first back-to-back of the season with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon out.

The Denver Nuggets face the Indiana Pacers in a highly anticipated matchup that promises a high level of play. However, the reigning champions need their top players available, which raises an important question: will Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray play?

The Pistons will confidently be able to pick up the win and cover here as -175 favorites, especially with Embiid out for the second night of a back-to-back. However, Detroit is favored just slightly too heavily to risk betting on here,

The Warriors' injury report listed Stephen Curry and AI Horford as questionable for the upcoming clash against the Indiana Pacers
