Wolves spoil Jokic's 61-point triple-double in 2OT

Aaron Gordon lit up the Timberwolves with 30 points (9-of-15 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and four three-pointers on Tuesday.
AG stepped up on the offensive end with both Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. sidelined. After scoring a total of 13 points across his last two appearances, AG stepped up and had his seventh game with at least 20 points since the All-Star break. Prior to the break, Gordon had just three 20-point games. Gordon has been able to fill whatever role the team needs him to, and while it wasn't enough to get a win in this game, he needed to be a scorer. Denver will play San Antonio on Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back. Gordon hasn't played both legs of a back-to-back since February, and that likely won't change against the Spurs.

Christian Braun recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 18 points (8-of-14 FGs), 12 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one three-pointer against the Timberwolves.
Braun stepped up for the shorthanded Nuggets and delivered his sixth double-double of the season, which was also his second in their last three games. This was also a new career-high for rebounds for Braun. The 24-year-old guard has enjoyed a breakout season for Denver and will be an intriguing option heading into fantasy drafts next season due to his efficient play. The Nuggets will play the second night of this back-to-back against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Julius Randle lit up the Nuggets with 26 points (11-of-22 FGs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers on Tuesday.
Randle has been on fire recently, and Tuesday was his third-straight game with at least 25 points. Randle had the ball with a chance to win this game at the end of the fourth quarter and the first overtime, but he wasn't able to get the job done. Fortunately for him, Minnesota was still able to walk away victorious, and Randle did still have another productive night. They are now tied for sixth place in the West and will head to Brooklyn on Thursday with a chance to overtake Memphis in the standings.

Josh Minott contributed 10 points (4-of-6 FGs), four rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers against the Nuggets on Tuesday.
With both Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid serving their suspension for their involvement in the brawl with the Pistons, head coach Chris Finch turned to Minott for reserve minutes. The 22-year-old has struggled to carve out a role in Minnesota, but he took advantage of his opportunity on Tuesday. Minott isn't a player to consider rostering in redraft leagues, but dynasty managers that have had him stashed for a long time have to be encouraged by this performance in limited minutes.
