The Denver Nuggets are bringing the series back home to the Ball Arena, where they will take on the number one seed Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets were able to steal game 1 in Oklahoma behind a ferocious comeback in the fourth quarter which was capped off by an Aaron Gordon three-pointer.

On the other side, the Nuggets will also enter Game 3 with a clean injury report as the only player listed is DaRon Holmes II, who has missed his entire rookie season due to a torn Achilles. With both squads having their cores fully healthy, Game 3 on Friday should be a good one as both teams try to gain control of the series.

Denver’s best bet to win this game is to outscore Oklahoma City. It’s hard to envision a world where the Nuggets out-defend the Thunder. Oklahoma City ranked first in defensive rating, while the Nuggets ranked below teams like the Wizards and Nets down the stretch of the regular season.
