Shai Gilgous-Alexander and the OKC Thunder (21-52) will take on Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (43-31) in part of the NBA Saturday slate.
Coming off a 140-130 loss to the Phoenix Suns, the Nuggets will look to bounce back in this one. Devin Booker dropped 49 points and 10 assists and it proved to be too much to overcome.
The Thunder are coming off a 118-102 win over the Orlando Magic in their previous game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did not play and remains questionable on their latest injury report.
While the Nuggets remain well in the playoff race, the Thunder have long been eliminated from contention. OKC recently defeated Denver, so the Nuggets will look to avoid a letdown.
