The Denver Nuggets are on the road on Wednesday night as they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of their second-round series.
Denver was able to stun Oklahoma City in Game 1 after completing a fourth-quarter comeback that ended with Aaron Gordon knocking down the game-winning three-pointer, his second game-winner of the playoffs thus far.
Of course, Gordon’s game-winning shot was the headliner of Monday’s game but Nikola Jokic deserves a ton of credit for the victory as well after he recorded 42 points, 22 rebounds and six assists in 42 minutes.

With the victory, the Nuggets now take a 1-0 lead in the series and they will have an opportunity to take a commanding 2-0 lead on Wednesday on the road before heading back to Denver for Game 3 and 4.
Denver will also enter Wednesday’s game with a clean injury report as they have only one player listed on it.
That player is rookie center DaRon Holmes II who has missed his entire rookie season due to a torn right Achilles.
Outside of Holmes II, the rest of Denver’s injury report is clean, which is a great sign for the Nuggets with both Russell Westbrook and Michael Porter Jr. continuing to play through injuries.
Of course, Porter Jr. has been dealing with a lingering left shoulder injury while Westbrook has been able to play through a left foot injury.
Because of this, the Nuggets will have their entire core healthy on Wednesday night as they try to steal another game on the road in Oklahoma City.
On the other side, the Thunder also enter Wednesday’s game with a clean injury report as they have only one player listed as well.
That player is rookie guard Nikola Topic who is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL before his rookie season.
Fans can catch Wednesday’s Game 2 matchup between the Nuggets and Thunder at 9:30 p.m. EST on TNT.
