The play of three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, who has recorded three double doubles in the first six games of the Denver Nuggets’ first-round Western Conference series against the Los Angeles Clippers, could very well determine the outcome of Saturday night’s Game 7 at Ball Arena in downtown Denver.

After a lengthy break, the OKC Thunder returns to playoff basketball Monday with Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Denver Nuggets.

Jamal Murray is at his best when he’s at his worst, as usual. In Game 5, he led the Nuggets on a night when even Nikola Jokic was relatively quiet.
