Isaiah Hartenstein went from playing behind Denver's Nikola Jokic to playing against him with OKC in the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

Nikola Jokic has shot below 40% over a three-game stretch with at least 15 attempts for the first time in his career.

Denver can swing a trade similar to last year's between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves, in which San Antonio sent the No. 8 pick to Minnesota for a lightly protected first-round swap six years down the road and an unprotected swap in seven.

Speaking on "Inside the NBA" on Sunday night, Hall of Famer Charles Barkley spoke about Jokic's sagging performance--and blamed the Nuggets for using a short rotation and having no true backup big man.

It started innocuously. Murray missed an open catch-and-shoot 3 when the Thunder doubled Jokic in the post. Porter pulled up in space when OKC didn’t pick him up during a transition push, but his shot fell short of the rim. Gordon missed a drive-and-kick jumper from the corner, where he’s been lights out. The offense was generating good looks.

The difference was Denver’s role players stepped up, showing the composure of a championship team that had been there before. That started with Aaron Gordon, who scored 17 points and hit the clutch 3-pointer that forced overtime. AARON GORDON TIES THE GAME AT 102!

Though he didn't turn in his best effort of the season in Game 3, David Adelman was still proud of Nikola Jokic for his contributions.
