Last season the clubs played three times with Denver sweeping the series The Thunder hold the all-time record having bested the Nuggets in 101 of their 190 matches
OKC Thunder
The trio of the Rockets, Magic, and Pistons have waged a tanking war all season with that threesome holding the best odds of getting the three coveted berths heading into the NBA Draft Lottery.
There are still between eight and 11 games left for every club and the Thunder will use those matches to try to fall just one more rung to get into that group.
OKC has nine games left to play including five road matches and a final four-game homestand. Even if they land 27th overall they’ll still have good odds of winning the NBA Draft Lottery which is the primary goal of this season.
In their most recent game, Theo Maledon led the way for the Thunder with 25 points. Tre Mann and Isaiah Roby each scored 21 points while Vit Krejci produced a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds.
The injury list is lengthy with Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) questionable while Kenrich Williams (knee), and Derrick Favors (back) were downgraded to out for Saturday.
Josh Giddey (hip) and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) are out indefinitely. Luguentz Dort (shoulder), Muscala (ankle), and Jerome (hernia) are done for the season.
Denver Nuggets
It’s been a constant see-saw war with the Minnesota Timberwolves recently for the Western Conference’s sixth and seventh seeds with the latter obviously the position Denver is trying to avoid.
They’ve looked fatigued and run down, especially superstar and reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. Eight games are left on the itinerary of the Nuggets with three road contests and five home dates including this match.
The loss to the Suns was an oddity considering Jokic only attempted 10 field goals. He offered 28 points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals.
Rookie sensation Bones Hyland seems to improve with each game and served up 23 points, two rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block while connecting on half (4 of 8) of his 3-point attempts.
Aaron Gordon scored 21 while the quartet of Will Barton (17), Monte Morris (15), Jeff Green (11), and DeMarcus Cousins (10) all reached double-figure scores.
Zeke Nnaji (hamstring) was downgraded to out for Saturday. Vlatko Cancar (fractured foot), Jamal Murry (ACL), and Michael Porter Jr. (back surgery) are out indefinitely.
