Meanwhile, the Nuggets enjoyed role players stepping up at home. Nikola Jokic had 29 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists. Christian Braun scored 23 points and Julian Strawther had 15 points off the bench.
The Thunder enter perfectly healthy. Only Nikola Topic (torn ACL) is out. That’s been the case all playoffs, as it’s the second straight year nobody has missed notable time.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets could be without an important starter. Aaron Gordon (hamstring strain) is questionable. Jamal Murray (illness) is probable. Russell Westbrook (hand sprain) is probable. Hunter Tyson (ankle sprain) is questionable. DaRon Holmes II (torn Achilles) is out.
Tipoff from Oklahoma City is set for 2:30 p.m. CT
