The Denver Nuggets (6-7) are preparing for a matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder (6-6) as the two teams are looking to build some momentum after mediocre starts to the season. For Denver, they have a lot of big games over the next month, and they really need to get rolling. For the Thunder, they’re focusing on the rebuild, and they need players outside of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to develop into productivity.
For Denver, they just can’t get out of their own way right now. Nikola Jokic is playing at an MVP level right now, but the rest of the roster is not up there with him.
