The Denver Nuggets will conclude a tough road back-to-back when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. The Nuggets come into the matchup on the heels of a 112-85 loss to the Houston Rockets on Thursday, while the Thunder last played on Wednesday, when they defeated the Indiana Pacers.
The Nuggets (50-24) are pushing through a tough schedule to close the regular season, as six of their final eight games are against teams currently in the playoff picture. Although Denver is still searching for consistency, it has won seven of the past ten games. As a result, the Nuggets are still within striking distance of the number one seed in the Western Conference, sitting just one-game behind the Golden State Warriors.
