OKC can end the series tomorrow.
Jamal Murray is being deemed as questionable for the game 6 vs OKC Thunder tonight, the Nuggets are already in a tough spot enough, not having Jamal Murray might just be the final nail in the coffin that would see OKC close out the series. I know Jokic is still going to be the biggest threat, but he sure can’t do it alone, and with MPJ also struggling with shots due to his shoulder injury, and Aaron Gordon didn’t do much in game 5 either.
Yes, MPJ is injured is a big factor for the OKC right now. And it's just sad to see that this playoff, there are a lot of great players that are getting injured and those who are healthy like the Knicks and Timberwolves. I'm not taking anything away from them, but the Knicks are still in a better position to eliminate the defending champion.
While the Timberwolves already won their series against the Warriors without their leader in Curry.
So the same predicament with the Thunder against OKC. Murray, their second offensive weapon is down and injured, MPJ and Gordon are struggling and so Jokic can't do it alone, he need someone to help him against the powerful OKC offense.
