Teams Preview

Oklahoma City Thunder

OKC lost the opportunity to break the Golden State Warriors’ record for fewest losses, but is still one of the top sides in the league thanks to its strong defence. The OKC team holds the best record in the season with a 45-15. 

In the season, the OKC team tops the defensive rating in the 2025-26 season while standing fifth in the offensive rating. The season average score is 119.4 points, standing fifth in the league. The side keeps the offensive flow going with controlled plays, averaging 12.6 turnovers and 25.6 assists per game. 

The team averages 43.7 rebounds per game and 5.6 blocks per game (sixth in the league). The team has 9.8 steals, putting them in the third position.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been solid at the Paycom Center recently, going 3-2 in their last five home games. While they have maintained their status as one of the league's top defensive teams, they recently suffered a double-digit loss to Milwaukee just before the All-Star break. The side averaged 110.6 points in that run, allowing just 98.6 points at home. 

Denver Nuggets

David Adelman navigated the team well in Jokic’s absence, with every team member stepping up for the injured star. Now the Serbian star is back and will look to help Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon get back to winning ways. 

In the 2025-26 season, the team tops the offensive rating and scoring in the season, with an average of 120.5 points per game and a 120.7 rating. Defensively, though, the team dropped to 20th in the league with a 115.8 rating. 

In the absence of Jokic, the team’s gameplay revolves around Murray’s playmaking, and they average 28.2 assists per game. But importantly, their turnover ratio is lowest in the league, taking third position with 12.9 turnovers per game. The team did decent work on the board with 43.2 rebounds and 4.1 blocks per game. The side also averaged a decent seven steals per game.

The Denver Nuggets have performed inconsistently in their last five away games, posting a 2-3 record. While they set a franchise record for road scoring against Portland, they also suffered several close losses, primarily due to struggles in late-game execution. The team averaged 130 points in the last five away games and allowed 118 points.
