Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Ruled out for Game 4
Watson is out for Game 4 on Saturday against Minnesota.
Watson will be on the sidelines for a ninth consecutive contest Saturday due to a left hamstring strain, and it doesn't appear that the fourth-year forward is close to returning. The Nuggets should continue to depend more heavily on Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson on the wing Saturday.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable for Game 4
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves.
Gordon is in danger of missing a second straight game due to left calf tightness. If the veteran forward is not cleared to play, Spencer Jones, Tim Hardaway and Zeke Nnaji would be candidates for increased playing time.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Notches 11 points in loss
Hardaway produced 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and five rebounds over 28 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Aaron Gordon (calf) out, Spencer Jones drew the start, but Hardaway matched his workload with 28 minutes. Through three postseason games, Hardaway is averaging 11.3 points and 3.7 rebounds on 39.1 percent shooting from the field.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Struggles with shot
Jokic posted 27 points (7-26 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Although his counting stats were great, Jokic had a nightmare shooting the ball with Rudy Gobert making his life difficult. Through the opening three games, Jokic is averaging 25.3 points on 40.0 percent shooting with 14.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.0 steals.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Only six points in Game 3 loss
Johnson produced six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Johnson couldn't get anything going on the offensive end, although he was certainly not alone, as Denver was soundly beaten by Minnesota on the road. On the whole, it's been a mediocre season for Johnson, who is averaging just 12.1 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 57 total appearances.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Underwhelms in Game 3 loss
Braun racked up two points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After a relatively strong start to the series, Braun came up empty Thursday, contributing to what was an ugly loss on the road. After winning the first game at home, Denver has now lost back-to-back games, handing Minnesota the upper hand. Game 4 will take place in Minnesota on Saturday, when Braun may need to increase his production if Denver hopes to avoid a 3-1 deficit.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Entering starting lineup
Jones is starting Game 3 against the Timberwolves on Thursday.
Jones will step into the starting lineup for Aaron Gordon, who was ruled out for Game 3 due to a calf injury. Jones hasn't been all that involved in the rotation so far during the first round, but he should receive a drastic uptick in opportunities Thursday evening.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Won't play in Game 3
Gordon (calf) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Timberwolves on Thursday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Gordon was originally added to the injury report as probable after dealing with some calf tightness following Game 2, but he was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day Thursday and has now been ruled out. Look for Spencer Jones and Tim Hardaway to see more run in the frontcourt in Gordon's absence.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Downgraded to questionable
Gordon (calf) is questionable for Game 3 on Thursday against Minnesota.
The Nuggets originally deemed Gordon probable due to left calf tightness, so it's unclear if he suffered a setback during morning shootaround Thursday. If the veteran forward is ultimately downgraded to out, Bruce Brown could find himself being more involved in Game 3.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Another absence coming
Watson (hamstring) is out for Game 3 on Thursday against Minnesota.
Watson will be sidelined for an eighth consecutive contest Thursday due to a left hamstring strain, and it's unclear if his return to action is at all imminent. The Nuggets should continue to lean more heavily on Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson while Watson is sidelined.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Likely to play in Game 3
Gordon (calf) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves.
Gordon is dealing with left calf tightness but is still likely to suit up for Game 3 in Minnesota. Through two first-round games, the veteran forward has averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.0 minutes per contest.
