Oklahoma City Thunder Over/Under Predictions
Denver Nuggets Preview
The Nuggets are coming off a blowout loss against the Knicks, where they fell by 39 points (103-142).Nikola Jokic led Denver with 38 points but the Nuggets suffered their biggest loss of the season both on the scoreboard and on the court with Murray's injury.
Murray, who had 45- and 28-point performances earlier this week, had 12 points when he got hurt with 1:05 left in the first half.
He took the contact from a driving Anunoby and stepped back on Jokic’s right foot. Murray tumbled to the floor in pain, grabbing his left ankle. He was helped to the locker room by teammate Jonas Valanciunas, and didn't return.
While the Nuggets await the results of Murray's MRI, his absence against the Thunder will be a significant blow to their offense. Denver will need to rely heavily on Jokic and their supporting cast to bounce back from their recent struggles.
Denver are most effective in controlled half-court contests where they can execute patiently and create high-quality scoring opportunities. They rely on strong interior play, efficient ball movement, and disciplined shot selection. When the Nuggets dictate tempo, they can maintain scoring in the 110–115 point range while limiting opponents through solid defensive positioning.
