Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder – October 22
The Denver Nuggets will face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first home game of their 2022-23 campaign. The Mile High Basketball community will be watching the team in an official NBA game for the time since April.
While OKC is not expected to be one of the top-tier teams in the West, every game in the NBA has its difficulties and the October 23 contest will not be an exception.
The Thunder will likely have their star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander available to play at the start of the season. So, they will be dangerous even though they are in a rebuilding state.
During those types of games, Denver will have to show patience and resilience. The fans will get the chance to see how the Nuggets cope against teams with little motivation to win this year.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Nuggets and Thunder split (2-2) their regular season series last year.
