Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/01/26

The Oklahoma City Thunder continue their road trip in Denver, tangling with the Nuggets on Sunday night in the late NBC game. The defending champions suffered a 123-111 loss in Minnesota on Thursday and they are just 1-3 straight up and 0-4 against the spread in the previous 4 outings. OKC has had trouble scoring the basketball, going for 114 or fewer points in each of those four non-covers, with the Under going 2-1 in the past three outings. Alex Caruso and Jalen Williams are sidelined, but most of the key players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, etc. are healthy and available.

The Nuggets could have Nikola Jokic in the lineup again, as he is back from a bone bruise in his left knee. In fact, he is listed as probable after playing limited minutes against the Clippers on Friday, posting 31 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists with 3 steals and a pair of 3-pointers in just 25 minutes. It was his first game in over a month, and he showed no signs of rust. That’s bad news for the rest of the Western Conference. Denver was 10-6 in Joker’s absence, but it is obviously an even more dangerous team with him in the middle. Let’s back the Nuggets, as OKC can’t be trusted right now.

Thunder vs Nuggets prediction: Denver +4.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to +4.
