Aaron Gordon

DEN Power Forward #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Aaron Gordon had a quiet night, finishing with 13 points (6-of-13 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one three-pointer in the Nuggets’ loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

Gordon was mostly held in check on the offensive end, finishing with his fewest three-point makes of the series, the second-lowest scoring output, and no production from the free throw line. While Gordon has made several big plays down the stretch of games this postseason, he was notably quiet in Game 5, making his line feel even less spectacular. He’s performed well in Denver’s two home games this series and will need to empty the tank on Thursday in Game 6 to help the Nuggets keep their season alive.
Jamal Murray

DEN Point Guard #27

Jamal Murray scored 28 points (10-of-27 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in 42 minutes for the Nuggets in their loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

Murray registered his third 20-plus-point game of the series on Tuesday, but did so on rather inefficient shooting. A monster 13-point third quarter is where much of his production came from, which gave Denver a decent lead going into the final quarter. However, Murray cooled off down the stretch, scoring five of Denver’s 19 points in the fourth quarter. Both he and the rest of the Nuggets will want a better close to Thursday’s Game 6 if they hope to extend their season.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic was dominant in the Nuggets’ loss to the Thunder on Tuesday, posting 44 points (17-of-25 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 15 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and 5 three-pointers.

Jokic bounced back in a big way on Tuesday after a few inefficient shooting performances in Games 2, 3 and 4. The three-time MVP had his fingerprints all over the game on the offensive side, regaining his shooting touch and being particularly dangerous from beyond the arc. He made some contributions as a passer, but still hasn’t found a way to dominate in this series as a facilitator, not yet tallying more than six assists in any game. Even with the Nuggets receiving the inevitable bounce-back game for Jokic, it wasn’t enough for them to take control of the series. Denver will need everything it can get from Jokic in Thursday’s Game 6 if it wants to extend the season.
Aaron Gordon

DEN Power Forward #32

Aaron Gordon recorded a double-double on Sunday with 15 points (5-of-10 FGs), 16 rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in Game 4 against the Thunder.

Gordon wasn’t able to replicate his same magic from Games 1 and 3, but he was able to produce a strong stat line in Sunday’s loss. Gordon has been Denver’s most consistent player in this series and has kept them afloat with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray struggling. Expect Gordon to continue to play well in Game 5 on Tuesday as Denver looks to steal another game on the road.
Christian Braun

DEN Shooting Guard #0

Christian Braun posted a full line on Sunday with 17 points (4-of-11 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and two blocks in Game 4 against the Thunder.

This hasn’t been a great series for Braun, but he was able to contribute in this game. He scored a total of 22 points through the first three games and nearly matched that total on Sunday. Unfortunately, it was still on inefficient shooting, and this was his third straight game making less than 40 percent of his shots. Braun will need to score more efficiently if Denver is going to win this series and advance to the conference finals. He’ll look to get back on track in Game 5 on Tuesday.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 27 points (7-of-22 FGs, 11-of-14 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists, four steals and two three-pointers in a 92-87 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 on Sunday.

It was still another rough shooting performance from Jokic, but he was much better from beyond the arc after shooting 0-for-10 in Game 3. He hit a pair of triples on Sunday, including one at the buzzer at the end of the first half. He also was more efficient with the ball in his hands in this game after turning it over eight times in Game 3. Unfortunately, none of that was enough to get the win. The series is now tied at two games each, with two of the next three games in Oklahoma City. Jokic will need to bring back his magic from Game 1 if Denver is to win this series.
Hunter Tyson

DEN Power Forward #5

Hunter Tyson (ankle) is out for Game 4 against the Thunder on Sunday.

Tyson was added to the Nuggets’ injury report Sunday afternoon. He has officially been ruled out for Game 4. His absence will not significantly impact Denver’s rotation, as he is not guaranteed to play on most nights.
Hunter Tyson

DEN Power Forward #5

Hunter Tyson (ankle) is questionable for Game 4 against the Thunder on Sunday.

Tyson is a late addition to the Nuggets’ injury report. The team announced his change in status two hours before the scheduled tip time. Tyson’s availability will have minimal impact, as he is not in the regular rotation.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic shot 8-of-25 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Friday’s Game 3 win over the Thunder, tallying 20 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks in 44 minutes.

While Jokic’s final stat line was solid, it does not tell the complete story of his performance. Not only was the three-time MVP responsible for eight turnovers, but he shot 0-of-10 from beyond the arc. The good news for Jokic is that three of his teammates scored at least 20 points, picking up the slack as Denver pulled away in overtime. While Oklahoma City defended The Joker well, he isn’t going to have nights like Friday (or Wednesday’s loss in Game 2) very often. He’ll look to extend Denver’s series lead when they host the Thunder in Game 4 on Sunday.
Michael Porter Jr.

DEN Small Forward #1

Michael Porter Jr. accumulated 21 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in 42 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 win over the Thunder.

While Porter struggled in the first two games of this series, he deserves credit for fighting through the left shoulder injury he suffered during the first round. MPJ found his shot on Friday, shooting 5-of-6 from three and 70 percent from the field overall. His performance helped the Nuggets compensate for Nikola Jokic shooting 0-of-10 from three, giving the team a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 is on Sunday afternoon.
