Prediction published on 10/03/2025, 01:29  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 10/03/2025 at 01:45 in NBA Predictions

The OKC Thunder will host the Denver Nuggets for the second successive night, seeking to extend their current winning streak in the NBA. They top the Western Conference standings and are 12 games clear of the Nuggets in third. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Thunder blew out the Nuggets by 24 points in the first game of this back-to-back between the two. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, an MVP candidate, scored a game-high 40 points in the rout.

The Thunder, who have now beaten the Nuggets twice in three meetings, are on a seven-match winning streak. This run has secured them a postseason spot with 18 games to play.

The Nuggets have struggled this season against the Thunder. They lost by at least 15 points in both their defeats, and in their sole victory, they won by just two points.

Mike Malone’s men will be keen to show up here, as this is a potential playoff matchup. The Nuggets had won two straight and were on the second night of a back-to-back when they arrived in OKC.

An OT victory over the Suns in which Nikola Jokic produced an incredible 31-21-22 stat line may have taken a toll on the team. Now, with two days' rest, we could see a different, better show from Denver.

The Nuggets have compiled a 41-23 record.
