Aaron Gordon missed 19 games with a right hamstring strain. Christian Braun missed 23 games with a sprained ankle.
Both have been reclassified as questionable and could return to court Sunday in Brooklyn.

Denver could use the help with four starters out. Nikola Jokic remains out for weeks after hyperextending his knee, the same injury that sidelined Cam Johnson. The return of Gordon and Braun would provide needed depth to the rotation.
Gordon was in the midst of a good season, averaging 18.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game before his injury. Braun averaged 11.4 points in 11 games, but struggled with his jumper.
