What to Know
After two games on the road, the Denver Nuggets are heading back home. The Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder will face off in a Northwest Division battle at 9 p.m. ET Saturday at Ball Arena. Coming off of a win even when the odds were against them, Denver has to be feeling especially confident now that the spread is in their favor.
Even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, Denver beat the Golden State Warriors 128-123 on Friday. Denver’s center Nikola Jokic was one of the most active players for the team, dropping a triple-double on 26 points, 12 rebounds, and ten assists. That’s Jokic’s first triple-double of the season.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City came up short against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, falling 115-108. A silver lining for Oklahoma City was the play of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had 32 points and five assists in addition to six boards.
Denver’s victory lifted them to 1-1 while Oklahoma City’s loss dropped them down to 0-1. We’ll see if Denver can repeat their recent success or if the Thunder bounce back and reverse their fortune.
