Gilgeous-Alexander is back. After three weeks, the reigning MVP will return to the court. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And while OKC fans seldom take for granted his all-time scoring, the last nine games show just how much of the Thunder’s success revolves around him. Which, I mean, yeah. Duh. Expect the Thunder to roll with some momentum as he returns. They’ll get another signature win over the Nuggets, who’ve been plagued by injuries. Jokic hasn’t looked like himself for a minute.
Prediction:Â Thunder 117, Nuggets 105
