The striker of Denver Nuggets, Aaron Gordon, will be in game 7 in the starting line -up against the Oklahoma City Thunder despite an upper limit of 2 class 2 on Sunday. Gordon was injured against OKC in the Game 6 win on Thursday and was initially considered doubtful for game 7. The Hamstring tribes in class 2 usually need weeks to heal. The Warriors star Stephen Curry missed four games against the Timberwolves in the second round with a thigh strain of the 1.

“If Aaron can go, he will go. He is,” Denver Interim's coach David Adelman told reporters before game 7.

It is difficult to overestimate how important Gordon was for the Nuggets after season run. After his last second break animal Dunk victory in game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round, Gordon brought the start at the start of the thunder and a clutch 3, the game 3. Nobody else on Denvers roster can duplicate what he does at both ends.

In their second game 7 of these playoffs, the nuggets are an outsider with 8-point road near Draftkings.

“Aaron is a special player when he initiated, but I think our boys repeated themselves,” said Adelman at the beginning of this week. “And sometimes that's life. Sometimes an opportunity comes if you don't want it to come. And if he can't go, we have confidence in the boys who bring them into actions that we have to get into.”

Adelman said it was nice to have more than a day between games 6 and 7. Gordon gave this a little more time and the entire team gave the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

“We need it,” said Adelman. “We play a historic team in a game 7. A team – 68 victories, the biggest point differential of all time, all the things they reached – I think they won 75 games this year. So we need the rest to play a team so historically well.”

Denver is not a particularly deep team and does not have much scope for mistakes in this matchup. If Gordon is not at its best, it will lead to a tough fight in game 7.
