This will be the third matchup of the season between the two squads. OKC has won the first two contests. Last time, it survived a drama-filled overtime game on Feb. 27.

The Thunder (50-15) have won five in a row. They scraped by the Golden State Warriors in a 104-97 win on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 27 points and five assists.

Better grab your popcorn. Expect the entire NBA world to tune into this matchup. Not just for the high-level basketball. But for any extracurricular activities. Hasn’t even been two weeks since Dort tripped Jokic. So expect emotions to stay high. Regardless, the Thunder and Nuggets always produce classics. Expect that to be the case here as Denver is as healthy as it’s been all season. Even if Murray sits out. I think the Thunder will get the win. You know they had this one circled. Gilgeous-Alexander could add to his MVP case with another primetime win.

Prediction: Thunder 114, Nuggets 110
