The Denver Nuggets will travel to Oklahoma City to take on the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday (November 3).
This game is a tale of two teams heading in different directions. Oklahoma is in full rebuild mode and continues to add young, talented pieces to their roster. The Nuggets, meanwhile, are at the other end of the spectrum as they attempt to build a title-worthy roster around perennial MVP Nikola Jokic.
Can the Thunder cause trouble for the more talented Nuggets? The betting odds and predictions are below:

We have to begin with Nikola Jokic. The otherworldly versatile Nuggets big man leads Denver in points, rebounds, assists and steals. That's a truly remarkable feat for one of the greatest basketball players in the world.
Michael Porter Jr. continues to help propel the Nuggets' offense to the next level. Porter is averaging 18 points and seven rebounds per game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, meanwhile, is doing it all for the Thunder, leading the team in points, assists and steals.
Josh Giddey continues to be one of the best all-around players around, averaging 14 points, eight rebounds and five assists per game.

Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Best Pick
Michael Porter Jr. has been one of the better all-around scorers in the NBA this season.
His inside/out game meshes well with Jokic's. Jokic is finding the athletic wingman on drives and on the perimeter, where Porter has developed one of the better shooters . Porter looks every bit a 20 points per game scorer in 2022. Take the Over.
Michael Porter Jr.; Pts: Over 16.5
Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Final Prediction
There's no reason to overthink this one between the Nuggets and Thunder. The Thunder are accumulating young talent and will be ready to contend eventually but aren't ready just yet.
The Nuggets have too much balance, and Jokic should be more than a handful for the Thunder. Jokic is a nightmare match-up any night. The Nuggets should overwhelm the Thunder and pull away in the second half.
Denver -6 (-110) (O/U 229, -110)
