Despite the previous injury scare, Jamal Murray is good to go this Monday for the Denver Nuggets.

Head coach David Adelman told reporters that Murray (hip) is expected to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
The Canadian star notably took an untimely exit after tweaking his left hip in the Nuggets' 136-120 Saturday win over the Chicago Bulls. He didn't ultimately return to the game with just a few minutes left in regulation.
Murray has been huge this season for Denver. The first-time All-Star is averaging a career-high 26.0 points, 7.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 48.8 percent from the field (43.2 percent from three).
The Nuggets (34-19) are aiming to grab their second consecutive win. They are currently at No. 3 in the West standings.
