What happened: The Denver Nuggets listed DeMar DeRozan as probable with low back spasms ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Julian Strawther will not play after being ruled out due to a left knee sprain.

Why it matters: Denver enters at 4-3 through seven games in 2026-27 following a 128-109 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Having DeRozan available stabilizes the rotation against an Indiana squad that is 3-6 through nine games. Strawther's absence tests perimeter depth in the secondary unit.

What to watch: The Nuggets and Pacers play Saturday at 5:00 PM ET from Arena CDMX in Mexico City on NBA TV.
