The Denver Nuggets are one win away from a date with Oklahoma City in the Western Conference Semifinals. After the Malone firing and the 2-1 series hole, this Denver team has bounced back to take command of this series.
With their offensive pace putting Harden and Clippers on their back heel, expect Jokic, Murray, Gordon, and the Nuggets to have a vintage performance and take this game down to the wire.
No one was talking about Denver as a threat before the postseason began, and it seems as if that was a big mistake. The Nuggets are just one win out from advancing to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, and as 6-point underdogs tonight at the Intuit Dome, I believe they have a real shot at wrapping this series up.
After the Gordon game winner, Denver followed that up with a convincing win led by Murray’s 43-point outing. This Clipper team is searching for answers defensively and after a James Harden dud, it’s tough to envision L.A. running away with a win for the rest of this series.
Christian Braun is no stranger to big performances in big spots. CB dropped 12 points and 12 boards in the Jayhawks’ National Championship win. As a deep reserve player in the Nuggets NBA Finals series, he put up 15 points in their Game 3 victory in just 19 minutes to give Denver a 2-1 series lead.
Averaging 10.6 PPG and 6.8 RPG this series – including 7.75 RPG over his L4, Braun is due to make a big impact tonight cleaning up the dirty work on both the offensive and defensive end.
The x-factor. Aaron Gordon’s heads up play kept Denver in this series and now, he has put them one step closer to a date with the Thunder for a trip back to the Western Conference Finals. Gordon has shot it 43.6% from beyond the arc this season while getting his AST/TO ratio up to 3.2:1.4.
He’s a coach’s dream as a modern 4 in today’s NBA. AG has gone for 34/21/22/25/29 PRA. Averaging 19.7 PRA during the regular season in 28.4 MPG, Gordon’s 39.1 MPG during this series should give him plenty of opportunities in this win-and-advance Game 6 to reach this PRA mark.
