However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for DEN; they faced challenges against the Milwaukee Bucks where they scored 112 but conceded defeat with nine points adrift.

For Denver Nuggets to secure victory against OKC Thunder, focusing on enhancing defensive strategies will be crucial. Capitalizing on fast break opportunities while minimizing turnovers could tilt the scales in their favor given OKC's propensity for exploiting such weaknesses.


Moreover, maintaining high efficiency from beyond the arc while bolstering defense against OKC’s key players could disrupt Thunder’s rhythm allowing DEN greater control over game dynamics.
