Denver Nuggets Needed Win .

The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder are headed to a game seven. With Denver having legendary performances by Aaron Gordon, who's had legendary game winners against the Clippers and in game three of this series. Nikola Jokic, who has been an MVP-level player this whole series, looks like the best player in the world today. Jamal Murray redeemed himself after a bad game 5 performance and showed that he is a good second option. The Nuggets, with their limited depth, have made the most with Christian Braun having a good performance and being one of the most improved players. Along with Julian Strawther, who was incredible in game 6. The Nuggets hope that these key players show up big.

Christian Braun was one of the most improved players this year, falling in fourth place behind Daniel Dyson. Going from 7 points last season to 15 points per game this year. Making an 8-point jump and taking on KCP's role from the past few seasons. He is good at playing off the ball, scoring 45 percent behind the three-point line. He knows how to play off his two main stars by cutting to the basket. Braun can run in the open court. In Game 7 against the Clippers, he finished the game strong with 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists. Christian Braun is important for the Nuggets to advance to the conference finals. Julian Strawther is one of the important role players for this series.

Julian Strawther was good in game 6, scoring 15 points on 50 percent shooting and looking like a star. He was incredible playing off Jamal Murray, hitting 2 spot-up threes. Julian needs to step up in order to win the series with Aaron Gordon being questionable and Russell Westbrook dealing with finger injuries.

Aaron Gordon is in questionable situations with his hamstring injury. He is not confirmed for game seven, which puts the Nuggets in a scary situation. The Nuggets' depth situation is scary, and with the lack of variety, it could end their season tomorrow afternoon. The Jokic and Murray duo needs to go out with a bang. MPJ and Russell Westbrook are dealing with injuries that they need to overcome. Game seven could either be a blowout or the underdogs could win.
