Game 7 Showdown: Which Hidden Heroes Could Rewrite Nuggets-Thunder Playoff History?
Chet Holmgren started the series struggling as well but has quietly been steadier the past two games. He’s a combined 11 for 14 on 2-point shots; he just struggled shooting 3s in Game 6. But he’s a difference maker on the baseline when he’s engaged against the zone.
Both of these players’ lives will be easier if Aaron Gordon is unable to play or limited for the Nuggets after injuring his hamstring late in Game 7. Any lingering effects for Gordon (especially if they lead to his absence) would be a huge blow to the Nuggets. He’s been an essential part of their success on both sides of the ball. Even last game when he was a non-factor scoring, he tied his career-high with seven assists in a postseason game.
