Lauvergne (face) is listed as a game-time decision with a cheekbone bruise for Monday's game against the Heat, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lauvergne was not at shootaround as he was getting fitted for a protective mask and with Jusuf Nurkic (knee) also listed as a game-time decision, there would be plenty of frontcourt minutes up for grabs should either player miss Monday's game. Darrell Arthur would be the most likely candidate to see more time on the floor, as the Nuggets would be forced to play small at times.
