Oklahoma City Thunder: Beware the Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets play in downtown Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. The Nuggets arrive with a 24-16 record. That’s a good record. But don’t be deceived. Denver is better than that.

The Nuggets have survived a puzzingly brutal early schedule. Denver played at home just six times in its first 23 games. By New Year’s, the Nuggets had played 22 road games and just 10 home games. Yet the Nuggets have remained competitive. They are sixth in the NBA’s Western Conference. But don’t expect the Nuggets to stay that low.
