The Oklahoma City Thunder might face a Nuggets team that doesn't have one of their best players [in Game 6](https://thunderousintentions.com/okc-thunder-must-learn-from-knicks-and-advance-to-conference-finals) at Ball Arena. Jamal Murray popped up on the injury report with an illness and is questionable for what's a win-or-stay-home game for Denver.
Murray is coming off his highest-scoring game of the series, as he dropped 28 points in OKC's win on Tuesday. It wasn't an efficient 28 points, though. He shot 10-of-27 from the field and 3-of-13 from three (23.1%). The Thunder know that he could flip a switch in Game 6, considering how a few of his past elimination games went.
It's unclear what illness Murray is dealing with, but if he can't play, that'd be a tough blow for the Nuggets. It'd put even more pressure on Nikola Jokic, who dropped 44 points in Game 5.

Mark Daigneault will ensure his team is prepared for Denver, with or without Murray. A loss would mean the series returns to Paycom Center — an electric environment — but you can't give an experienced team like Denver another chance. If Murray doesn't play tonight, he might be ready to play in Game 7.
