Oklahoma is off to an undefeated start and faces division rival Denver who are hoping to avoid a championship hangover. Although Oklahoma dominated their previous meeting with Denver, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon will be absent which should make things even more enthralling this time around.
The Nuggets are coming off an impressive victory against Toronto Raptors and hope to build on their 4-3 record. Their defense is strong and their experience should give them an advantage, ranking first in field goal percentage defense and three point percentage defense respectively. They also possess plenty of depth with players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren making up their starting lineup.
Oklahoma City Thunder's roster is deep and healthy, giving them an advantage in this matchup against an opponent that has struggled to find its identity this season. While their suffocating defense may cause problems for Denver's supporting cast - forcing Jokic to carry an even heavier load - they should still prove too much for Denver as Oklahoma City jets out west for another win that solidifies their early season success and further cement their early success as an underdog team. They offer incredible value against a formidable underdog opponent such as Denver when taking on Oklahoma City out.
