While Jokic always shines, the unsung hero in Denver is typically star point guard Jamal Murray. The 27-year-old guard always seems to step up when it matters. But, for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers, the Nuggets have added Murray to the injury report.

After snapping their winning streak against LA, Jamal Murray reveals how the Nuggets' sloppy play prevented them from defeating the Lakers.

Jamal Murray scored 34 points, Nikola Jokic finished an assist shy of his 26th triple-double of the season and the Denver Nuggets extended their winning streak to nine games by holding off the depleted Charlotte Hornets 129-115.
