Rudy Gobert, one of the NBA's premier defenders, seems to have found the formula to contain Nikola Jokic. After three playoff games, Minnesota holds a 2-1 series lead over Denver.
Game four is scheduled for Saturday night, and NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson believes the Nuggets are destined to lose this series.
I believe the Minnesota Timberwolves will win the series because they are faster, more athletic, and physically stronger than the Denver Nuggets. Magic Johnson
According to Johnson, Rudy Gobert's stellar play in direct matchups against Jokic will be the deciding factor:
- Minnesota's center, Rudy Gobert, is doing an outstanding job guarding one of the best players in the NBA today - Nikola Jokic.
Notably, Jokic recorded 27 points and 15 rebounds in Game 3, but it came with one of his worst shooting performances of his career, going 7-for-26 from the field.
