All eyes will be on tonight’s game between the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder at Ball Arena. The travelling league leaders, OKC, have had Denver’s number this season, winning all three meetings. However, with both teams on the longest winning streaks, this matchup is promising to be different. See our match prediction below.
The Thunder (64-16) is riding a seven-game winning streak. They’ve dominated the Nuggets this season, winning by margins of 10, 6, and 3, including a 129-126 thriller just last month.
However, the Nuggets (52-28) currently boast the longest active winning streak, bagging deserved wins in their last ten games. Yet, Denver faces a major huddle tonight as Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are both listed as questionable. If the Nuggets' stars sit this one out, Denver will be leaning heavily on their bench to avoid a season sweep by their division rivals.
While the Thunder have a psychological edge, Denver's home-court advantage is not to be undermined. The Nuggets have won 10 straight at home, and even if their stars are limited, they play with a disciplined structure that keeps games close. But with OKC fully healthy and chasing history, the pressure on a potentially depleted Denver roster might be too much to handle.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
Betting on a Nuggets team with three of its best players questionable against the league leaders is a risky move. OKC has already proven they can beat Denver at full strength, and if Jokic or Murray are sidelined, the quality gap becomes massive.
Even with SGA possibly missing out, the Thunder have refused to lose easily, as only two of their last 49 games saw them lose by 15 points or more. Hence, our Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction is OKC +14.5 handicap.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
