Game Preview
The Nuggets have won only one game during the preseason, and even Jokic admitted that the situation isn’t good. That sole triumph was in the latest appearance of the preseason, where they beat the Timberwolves 132-126.
Denver lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, which is, in our opinion, a huge blow. Yes, Russell Westbrook arrived, but these two are playing in different positions. Many suggest that the Nuggets should have signed Klay Thompson, but that can’t be undone now.
OKC didn’t change its roster too much. They’ve traded for Alex Caruso sending Josh Giddey in exchange, hoping to add defensive pressure and toughness on that side of the ball.
The Thunder had four wins and a loss during the preseason, playing good basketball. Don’t forget that OKC won the No.1 seed last year and that this team gained some postseason experience.
Nuggets vs. Thunder Head to Head
OKC demolished the Nuggets during the preseason, 124-94, in Denver. Last year, the Thunder lost the first matchup against the Nuggets but then won three in a row.
Nuggets vs. Thunder Prediction
The Nuggets are struggling on the floor, and OKC looks better right now, even though the NBA season just started. With all due respect to Jokic and Denver, our pick here is for the guests to win.
