The in-form Oklahoma City Thunder welcome the Denver Nuggets in their next NBA outing. Sitting atop the Western Conference standings, OKC are more than 10 games ahead of the Nuggets, who occupy the sixth seed. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Thunder are back to their best and playing with the swagger that saw them compile the best record across both conferences.
Mike Daigneault’s defending NBA champions have lost just once in their last nine games and are on a five-match winning run. This upturn in fortunes has coincided with the return to full fitness of reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Though they still have a bloated injury report, having Shai back is a major boost. The Thunder, who have compiled a 50-15 record, defeated the Warriors 104-97 last time out.
The Nuggets have lost both matchups this season against the Thunder. And with their inconsistent run of form, they could be in for another setback.
David Adelman’s men have lost five times in their last nine games and are coming off a dismal performance against the Knicks.
Hosting the Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls, the Nuggets struggled on both ends of the court and ended up being blown out by 39 points.
To compound them further, Jamal Murray limped out of the match with an ankle injury. Denver has compiled a 39-25 record and is just three games above the play-in.
