*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Saturday, March 8th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Sunday, March 9th.
Denver Nuggets
For the purists of the game, it’s impossible not to be impressed by Nikola Jokic. Watch a Nuggets game and I dare you not to isolate on the Joker and witness the greatest of this generation in action.
On Friday, he added again to the lore posting a 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 20 assists triple-double … something that had NEVER been accomplished in the history of the sport!

Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks second offensively (119.4) and tied in 17th defensively (114.2) with a net differential of plus +5.2 which ranks fifth overall.
Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 31-31-1 record through 63 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Julian Strawther, SF (day-to-day — knee)
- DaRon Holmes II, PF (OUT — Achilles)
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)
OKC Thunder
With the major padding the Thunder holds atop the West they can afford to be cautious with injuries and take advantage of specific opponents to get their stars rest.
Thus was the case Friday as OKC held out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for rest while Jalen Williams (wrist), Chet Holmgren (leg), and Isaiah Hartenstien (nose) were sat.
Stepping up in their absence was the other Jaylin Williams who collected his first-ever triple-double (10 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists).
Thunder Stats
The Thunder ranks fourth on offense (118.2), and first on defense (105.6) while they offer a plus +12.6 net differential also registering first overall.
In terms of the Thunder’s performance against the spread, they are one of the better bets this season with a 39-21-4 record.
Thunder Injury Report

- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, PG (probable — rest)
- Cason Wallace, SG (questionable —knee)
- Jalen Williams, SG (day-to-day —wrist)

Free Denver Nuggets vs. OKC Thunder NBA Prediction:
The leading candidates to win MVP face each other in what could factor in the final voting. OKC has what is close to an insurmountable lead over their rivals but this match will have extra ramifications as the teams dance around each other in terms of how they intend to defend each other.
Making matters more perplexing is both Holmgren and Hartenstein could remain out of the lineup which doesn’t leave a lot of options (Jaylin Williams) to guard Jokic.
