Nikola Jokic
Nikola Jokic is one of the most versatile players in basketball. At 6-foot-11 and 180 pounds, his deft passing and soft shooting touch makes it hard for opponents to keep pace.
Jokic has won three NBA Most Valuable Player awards while leading Denver Nuggets to their 2023 championship win.
Serbian star Milos Teodosic has long been one of the cornerstones of Denver’s lineup and is widely regarded as one of the greatest passers in league history – holding the record for highest single-season Passing Rating rating ever achieved in league play.
Jokic has earned two All-Star selections and led his team all the way to the NBA finals as captain. Since his rookie year, he has consistently ranked among the top-10 fantasy players and can be expected to remain among this league’s elite this year as well.
Jokic recorded 24 points (7-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt and 8-8 FT) over 41 minutes in Denver’s 113-96 loss to Minnesota in Game 4. Minnesota’s Lu Dort intentionally stuck his foot out to trip him, leading to his ejection with just over one second remaining.
Jokic has scored at least 20 points in each of five consecutive playoff games since being traded from Dallas this summer and could break their franchise record for most 30-point performances on Friday against Chicago.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Timothy Duane Hardaway Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
He plays small forward and power forward positions and is the son of Hall-of-Famer Tim Hardaway; previously playing for New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons.
Hardaway holds several three-point shooting records while winning Two Sixth Man of the Year awards in his NBA career.
Modern NBA teams are paying starting-caliber wings and scoring studs more than ever before, yet sixth men often provide greater value than their salary suggests.
Hardaway stands out as an intriguing candidate because he doesn’t just pad his numbers; instead he provides real value off the bench while quickly changing momentum with quick bursts of offense.
Jamal Murray
Murray was selected seventh overall in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. A native of Canada, Murray became an all-star for their championship run in 2023 – not to mention being part of their national basketball team!
Murray has continued his stellar performance throughout the regular and playoff seasons. Currently a top scorer in the postseason at 25.4 points per game while shooting 43 percent from 3-point range for his team, Murray is excelling as one of its standout playoff performers.
Murray scored 55 points against the Trail Blazers to break a Nuggets record and become only the ninth Canadian ever to score 50 or more points in a playoff game.
Murray’s performance helped lead the Nuggets to an unprecedented four-game sweep over Los Angeles Lakers and take an early 3-0 lead against Minnesota Timberwolves despite an ineffective night from Nikola Jokic – thanks to Murray elevating team play and carrying them home victorious!
Will Gordon
The Nuggets were in need of an assist from their backup point guard in the absence of injured starter Ayo Dosunmu, and Gordon came through big with a three-pointer that gave them a five-point advantage against Minnesota in Game 6.
Additionally, Gordon’s defense rose up and kept Jokic from scoring, while also tripping Jamal Murray multiple times before adding mid-range pullups and another 3-pointer before time ran out to seal their win.
The Timberwolves had their best home performance since returning to the NBA in 2024, clearly showing more enthusiasm in front of their supporters than any other team in this series.
Utilizing size and quickness to dominate in the paint, they ultimately ended their thirteen-season playoff drought by coming away victorious in an intense series finale win against Philadelphia.
Cameron Johnson
Cameron Johnson currently plays point guard for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Born March 3 1996 and standing 6 ft 7 in (2m03 cm). Johnson attended Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School in Coraopolis Pennsylvania before going on to Pitt and UNC respectively for his college basketball careers.
Johnson scored 27 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pts and 3-6 Fts) and grabbed eight rebounds across 39 minutes during Denver’s 110-98 defeat at Minnesota on Thursday.
Johnson put up nine points (2-6 Field Goal, 1-3 3Pt and 2-4 Free Throws), two rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes in Game 4, contributing heavily to Denver’s 125-113 win against Minnesota on Monday night.
Johnson averaged 12.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game during regular season action while also creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. If financial considerations warrant it, Denver may trade Cam Johnson to Los Angeles Clippers who may be interested.
Bruce Brown
On Thursday night, Jaden McDaniels and the Minnesota Timberwolves demonstrated their incredible defensive prowess in an ardent Game 6 win against Denver Nuggets.
Capitalizing on Ayo Dosunmu and Donte DiVincenzo being out, Minnesota outscored Denver by an overwhelming margin inside the paint, and held their opponents to only 24 points on 3-for-27 shooting to claim victory.
The Timberwolves needed something extra to compensate for their shooting woes, and they did just that by injecting more energy and intensity into the ballgame.
Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle provided Denver with plenty of trouble along their perimeter while Terrence Shannon added his signature mid-range pullups and quick drives towards the basket.
Brown finished with one point (0-2 Field Goal, 0-1 Three-Pointer and 1-2 Free Throws), one rebound and two assists during 14 minutes in a 110-98 win over Detroit Pistons.
A former second-round draft pick of Detroit, Brown is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer; during regular season games he averaged 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while remaining relatively inconsequential during playoff play.
