Fatigue for Nikola Jokić and Denver's depth will take center stage for the Nuggets as they look to rebound in Game 4.

The Denver Nuggets could be concerningly shorthanded for Game 4.

Without Durant, the Rockets leaned heavily on Şengün, who scored 33 points on 15-of-27 shooting with 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson also combined for 50 points, but the offense was ultimately too disjointed to keep pace with the Lakers.

San Antonio rookie Dylan Harper, the No. 2 draft pick last June, was phenomenal, scoring 22 of his 27 points in the second half – 12 in the third quarter and 10 in the fourth. He scored inside and out – 4-for-5 on 3-pointers, 5-for-7 in the paint and his driving one-handed dunk was part of a 27-15 Spurs run to end the game.

TORONTO — Here are the starting lineups for Saturday’s game between the Guardians and Blue Jays. Where: Rogers Centre, 3:07 p.m. TV/radio: Guardians.TV, FOX Sports 1, WTAM/1100, WMMS FM 100.7 and the Guardians Radio Network will carry the game.

The Red Sox will try to prevent a second five-game skid this season. The three runs for Boston in the series opener marked their most offense in four games. The Red Sox have lost six of their last seven games overall. The Orioles hammered six home runs, including a pair of two-run blasts from Adley Rutschman, in Friday night’s 10-3 triumph.

If this series is like a lot of playoff series, the Sixers just lost a game they needed to win. Not that they should have won it. But they could have won it. Against a team like the Boston Celtics, those often prove to have been must-wins.

The mood was understandably much different after Game 2 than it was after Game 1 for the Buffalo Sabres. If anything, concern became the name of the game going into Thursday’s Game 3, especially considering the Sabres had failed to score in the first two periods of either game.
