Thunder Rest Plan Shapes West Seeding as Nuggets, Blazers, Wolves Fight for Position

After clinching the No. 1 seed, the Oklahoma City Thunder will rest most of their players in Friday’s game against Denver, while the Nuggets may be shorthanded with Jokic, Murray and Gordon listed as questionable. Denver is also touting Tim Hardaway Jr. as a potential Sixth Man of the Year candidate. Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe and Vit Krejci are questionable for the Blazers vs. Clippers as they chase the No. 8 seed, and Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards is questionable for a weekend set in Houston as Rudy Gobert rests for a second straight game.

Timberwolves Seize Command in West with Win Over Nuggets

Timberwolves topped the Nuggets 117-108 in Denver on national TV, riding a strong second quarter and a balanced eight-man rotation led by Anthony Edwards (21) and Jaden McDaniels (20).
