Hartenstein had eight points (4-4 FG) and six rebounds over 25 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 loss to the Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hartenstein picked up four fouls in 25 minutes, while his replacement, Jaylin Williams, had four fouls in 14 minutes with both players doing their best to slow Nikola Jokic down. Overall, Hartenstein has been terrific in this series, putting up 11.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals on 57.4 percent shooting from the field.

Williams closed Thursday's 119-107 loss to Denver in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 14 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Isaiah Hartenstein was in some foul trouble as he continued to match up with Nikola Jokic, so credit to Williams for stepping up with some quality minutes off the bench. Williams has been used sparingly in the postseason, averaging 9.5 minutes per night with 3.3 points and 1.8 rebounds.

Russell Westbrook

Westbrook recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and one block over 17 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 win over the Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Westbrook has comfortably led the Denver second unit in minutes played during the playoffs, but he's had his struggles recently, and the team turned to Julian Strawther, who responded with 15 points in 20 minutes. Jamal Murray played through an illness, Aaron Gordon may have tweaked his hamstring and Michael Porter continues to push through his shoulder issue, so the Nuggets will be hoping that Westbrook can turn things around quickly.

Christian Braun

Fri 5/16/25 11:15 AM

Braun had 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 victory over the Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Braun has had his fair share of struggles on the offensive end in this series, but he erupted for his best game of the playoffs to help keep Denver alive. Through six Western Conference Semifinal outings, Braun now holds averages of 11.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers on 39.0 percent shooting from the field.

Nikola Jokić

Jokic posted 29 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 41 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 win over the Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Jokic fell just short of yet another triple-double, helping guide the Nuggets to victory. The three-time MVP continues to bring it on both ends of the floor, delivering video game numbers on a nightly basis. Across the first six games against the Thunder, Jokic is averaging 29.8 points, 14.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 41.0 minutes per game.

Jamal Murray

Murray (illness) ended Thursday's 119-107 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block in 42 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Despite some conjecture over whether he would play or not, Murray took his spot in the starting lineup and certainly played a key role in the Game 6 victory. A four-point play to start the night set the tone for Murray, ending with him scoring at least 25 points for the third time in the past four games. The two teams will meet again Sunday, providing Murray with some time to recover before what promises to be a classic Game 7.

Julian Strawther

Fri 5/16/25 3:34 AM

Strawther finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds over 20 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Strawther had easily his best game of the postseason, scoring all 15 of his points during the second half, fueling what was an impressive victory for the Nuggets. With Jamal Murray dealing with an illness, Strawther took it upon himself to springboard the win, an encouraging sign given how little we have seen of him during the playoffs. Denver will now head to Oklahoma City for Game 7, with both teams feeling they have something to prove.

Chet Holmgren
PF/C OKC
Fri 5/16/25 3:28 AM

Holmgren amassed 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 loss to the Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Holmgren led the Thunder with 11 rebounds, recording his fourth double-double of the series. Having tallied just three total blocks over the past three games, Holmgren's impact on the defensive end has been somewhat muted by the Nuggets. However, he remains one of the best shot-blockers in the league and will undoubtedly look to have more of an impact when the two teams face off one final time Sunday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Fri 5/16/25 3:23 AM

Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 32 points (11-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 loss to the Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied a game-high 32 points, scoring at least 30 points for the fourth time in the series. However, his production was not enough as the Thunder ran out of steam late, handing the victory to Denver. Gilgeous-Alexander appeared to injure his hand early in the game, but it didn't slow him down on the offensive end. The two teams will meet one more time with everything on the line, with Gilgeous-Alexander likely to be leading the charge for Oklahoma City.

Jalen Williams

Fri 5/16/25 3:19 AM

Williams posted six points (3-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 loss to the Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
Williams struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end, shooting under 40 percent for the third straight game. Although his scoring came up a little short of the mark, he added a season-high 10 assists to go with four defensive stats. With the series now headed for Game 7, it's going to be all hands on deck for Oklahoma City as it looks to avoid elimination.
