The Denver Nuggets decided to rest all of their starters on Friday in a curious decision with a Top 3 seed up for grabs. Denver won anyway against a resting Oklahoma City Thunder team, but they still have work to do on Sunday if they’re hoping to clinch the 3 seed and not just homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Denver Nuggets decision to rest all starters vs the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets won anyway, but the decision was odd. Ryan discusses the win and good performances by Jonas Valanciunas, Julian Strawther, and David Roddy. He also discusses clinching a Top 4 seed and what’s at stake on Sunday.
