HOUSTON — The Nuggets’ most unusual configuration seems tailor-made to counter the Rockets.
But they might have to start relying on it more often in general, if power forward Aaron Gordon is out for an extended period.
Nuggets coach David Adelman didn’t have a specific postgame update on the injured Gordon after a gutsy 112-109 win Friday at Houston, but he did suggest that possibility — that centers Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas could be playing more minutes together soon.
Gordon was ruled out with a right hamstring strain in Houston, the same type of injury he tried to play through in a playoff Game 7 last season.
