The Denver Nuggets (37-22) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (45-15) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Friday, February 27, at Paycom Center.
Oklahoma City has claimed victory in the sole head-to-head encounter against Denver this season, earning a 121-111 win earlier in early February. Reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up a massive double-double of 34 points and 13 assists, while Cason Wallace chipped in 27.
However, the Thunder have recently ended a three-game winning streak with a 124-116 loss to the Detroit Pistons. OKC raced to a 12-point lead after the opening period, but their offense sputtered in the following quarter. Jaylin Williams led the charge for the team, amassing a 30-point, 11-rebound night.
The Thunder was severely short-handed in that loss, as they were without Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell, and Alex Caruso. SGA, Holmgren, and Caruso are not present in the team's injury report for Friday.
Turning to the Nuggets, they're hoping to build momentum after a convincing 118-102 home win against the Boston Celtics. In that matchup, Nikola Jokic produced 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists.
The Nuggets' injury report lists Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson as out, with Jamal Murray questionable on Friday due to an illness.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Thunder took the only game against the Nuggets this season, and they've been formidable at home lately with a 24-7 record there. But they'll be missing last year's All-Star forward Jalen Williams on Friday.
OKC will be the favorites heading into this rematch, but don't count out Nikola Jokic and Denver. We might be in for a classic tightly contested game between these two Western Conference contenders. Our prediction for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets match is: Nuggets (+9.5) cover the spread.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
