The Oklahoma City Thunder may currently hold the best record in the NBA, but there is one specific opponent who could give them serious trouble in a postseason series.
While the Western Conference features many contenders, the Denver Nuggets are the squad to keep close tabs on.
Why the Nuggets are the biggest threat to the Thunder
One of the reasons for the Nuggets' potential to defeat the Thunder is simply Nikola Jokic.
He's still arguably the best player in the league despite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander winning the MVP last season. Jokic has become a cheat code in the NBA, finishing at the basket with ease, scoring from anywhere on the floor, and being the game's best passer despite being a center.
