Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray may miss Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a left calf strain. Murray struggled with his shooting in the playoffs despite hitting a buzzer-beater in Game 2.

The Lakers could be boosted by the possible return of forward Jarred Vanderbilt after a two-month absence due to injury. As the Nuggets aim to advance against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lakers attempt to overcome a 3-0 deficit in the playoff series.
