Thunder Face Nuggets in Historic Matchup

The Oklahoma City Thunder, boasting a historic 7-0 start to the 2024-25 season, face the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday after previously dominating their season opener against them. The Thunder have won all their games by double digits, setting a record for the best start in NBA history, while their defensive prowess is unmatched, allowing only 100+ points in two games. The Nuggets, currently at 4-3, are coming off a close victory over the Toronto Raptors but will be without key players Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon due to injuries. This matchup marks the second meeting of the season, and the Thunder have a strong recent track record against Denver, winning four consecutive games and keeping them under 100 points in the last three. Analysts suggest the Thunder will likely cover the spread, given the Nuggets' struggles and absence of starters. The game is set for a 9 p.m. ET tip-off at Ball Arena in Denver.
