When the NBA playoff seeds shaped shape late in the regular season, we would have registered for a matchup in Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Denver Nuggets in the second round.

The Nuggets won a championship in 2023 and try to do it again, although he sparked head coach Michael Malone and General Manager Calvin Booth with three remaining games in the regular season. They still have important players from this championship team, including the three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, who is the finalist for the award this season, together with the Schai-Gilgeous Alexander von Thunder and the Giannis Antetocounmpo from Milwaukee.

The Thunder, who won 68 games with Franchise record, tries to win the title for the first time since the Franchise company in 2008 from Seattle to Oklahoma City.

Here you will find everything you need to know about the second round between No. 1 in Oklahoma City Thunder and No. 4 Denver Nuggets:

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Denver Nuggets to see most important players

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, guard, thunder: In line, Gilgeous-Alexander is a star today and a star for the next seasons. But so that this star shines brighter and brighter, Gilgeous-Alexander has to bring the thunder to the conference final-at least. This is the next step in this progress. Gilgeous-Alexander did what he had to do in a simple Sweep-Sweep against Memphis (27.8 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks per game, 40.2% Field Goal percentage, 25% 3-point percentage), but the Thunder need a more efficient offensive performance against him.

Nikola Jokic, Mitte, Nuggets: There is no wrong choice between Jokic and Gilgeous-Alexander. Jokic was enormous this season (just as well as all of his three earlier MVP season) and wore the Nuggets with 21 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for a win against the Los Angeles Clippers. He had an average of 24-13.1-10.1 in the series. Jokic's ability to dominate a game with his value, his passage and rickey gives the nuggets a chance. With a solid squad and Jokic, the nuggets remain a candidate in the middle of the chaos, the head coach and general manager at the end of the regular season. This is the potential Jokic exemption.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Denver Nugget's preview

How the thunder will win: The thunder has more talent, depth and versatility, they are better offensive and defensive and everything comes together at the right time. They were not really tested in the first round, so the thunder had to prove that they could win tight games in a series. Nine players (Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Hartenstein, Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso and Lu there) played in the first round in the first round in a balanced offensive effort.

How the Nuggets will win: This season, the Nuggets have the second best street record in the west and have one, maybe two games in Oklahoma City to win the series. The Nuggets once won at OKC this season and have the championship experience with Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun. Jokic will do what he does, and if he gets enough help, Denver can maintain the maintenance with interim coach David Adelman, who was taken on with three games in the regular season for the dismissed Malone. The nuggets that are not deep are dependent on their seven top players.
