Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets head-to-head record
Given the previous five head-to-head records, the Nuggets vs. the Thunder game is probably going to be fiercely contested. Denver has triumphed in three of its past five matches, including two close wins on May 6 (121–119) and November 7 (124–122). However, as evidenced by their resounding 102-87 triumph in October and their 127-103 victory on March 9, the Thunder have shown they are potent when they settle into a groove. High-scoring performances have been a recurring trend in these games as both sides have traded momentum. Denver's modest advantage in the series and the recent nail-biter mean that clutch playmaking, especially from players like Jokic and Gilgeous-Alexander, may be crucial in this game.
