Without Murray, the Nuggets are down their 1-2 punch with him & Jokic.
That said, the Joker had 34, Porter Jr upped his game with 25 and trade deadline acquisition Aaron Gordon chipped in with 16 but it wasn't enough to overcome Lillard(34), Nurkic (16), McCollum (21) and Anthony (18).
Blazers take game 1 123-109 and sans Murray it's hard to imagine the Nuggets getting past the 1st round unless he comes back ready to contribute right away very soon.
