The Denver Nuggets will be without starting forward Aaron Gordon in Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was questionable with a calf injury leading up to the contest, and has been ruled out.
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) will not play tonight in Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources tell me.

Although Gordon isn’t a first or second option, the Nuggets will certainly miss their do-it-all forward. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 49.7% from the field and 38.9% from deep this season.
Following the news of Gordon’s injury, the Nuggets are now just 1.5-point favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Timberwolves are -102 underdogs, with the game total set at 231.5.
