This one’s important. There will be a lot on the line when the Thunder come to Pepsi Center Tuesday night to take on the Denver Nuggets.
Though there are still 23 games left before the playoffs start, this one will carry heavy playoff implications.
The Nuggets are sitting in second place in the Western Conference at 41-18 — a game behind the Warriors.
The Thunder sit three games back of the Nuggets at 38-21 after dropping a shootout to the Kings Saturday.
If the Nuggets win, they will hold a four-game advantage — and the season series — over Oklahoma City with just 22 games left.
