The OKC Thunder host the Denver Nuggets at the Paycom Center on Tuesday for Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Thunder tied the series 2-2 with a clutch win on the road in Game 4. Nikola Jokic has been struggling with his shot, so the rest of the Nuggets will need to step up.

Denver stole Game 1 of the series, with Aaron Gordon hitting the game-winning 3-point shot. The Thunder won the next game, blowing out the Nuggets in one of the most lopsided wins in NBA postseason history.

In Game 3, the Nuggets picked up the slack with "The Joker" barely making any shots in his worst game of the playoffs so far. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company wore down the three-time MVP in Game 4, pulling off a close victory to make it a best-of-three.
