The Nuggets will be healthy for this contest, including their star forward, Aaron Gordon, who will be on the court.

Gordon, who was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's contests, has been upgraded to available. He will play and start for the Nuggets.

The 29-year-old faced long odds to play on Sunday due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Prior to his upgrade, Gordon was deemed doubtful to play, and the word was that he would need several weeks to recover from the injury.

Instead, he will be on the court. On Saturday, Nuggtes' interim head coach David Adelman spoke on his veteran forward and his status.

"He's trying to play," Adelman said. "Obviously, he is injured, but he's going to go through the process and try to give us something. If he can't go or if he goes and can't continue, we have plenty of guys that can step up."

The one-time champion will look to do his best in a pivotal Game 7, similar to what he has done all playoffs long. In 13 games, he is averaging 16.8 points per game, 7.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 0.6 steals while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from three in 38.2 minutes of action.

With a win on Sunday, the Nuggets would advance to their second Western Conference finals in three seasons. Last season, they came up one game short of a conference finals appearance after losing Game 7 at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

If the Nuggets upset the No. 1 seed Thunder, they would be able to get their revenge on the Timberwolves. Gordon has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, playing in only 51 games in the regular season.

Not only will Gordon be on the court, but veteran guards Jamal Murray and Russell Westbrook will also be on the court. Murray and Westbrook were both upgraded prior to Sunday's game.
