The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday for Game 2 of their Round 2 playoff series. The Nuggets have a 1-0 series lead.
The Thunder were stunned in a Game 1 collapse to the Nuggets. For the first 45 minutes, it felt like they would be on their way to a 1-0 lead. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points and Alex Caruso scored 20 points but the rest of the squad struggled.
Then, Nikola Jokic willed the Nuggets to an upset with a monster 42-point and 22-rebound double-double. Aaron Gordon scored the playoff game-winner with the transition 3-pointer.
Both teams have a clean bill of health. The Thunder will only be without Nikola Topic (torn ACL). Meanwhile, the Nuggets will only be without DaRon Holmes II (torn Achilles). Both rookies have missed the entire season.
Tipoff from Oklahoma City is set for 8:30 p.m. CT.
