The game tips off at 7 p.m. CT and can be seen on Bally Sports Oklahoma and Altitude TV (Nuggets).
The Thunder (10-19) are winners of two straight against the playoff-caliber LA Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies, but winning their third game in a row might be the biggest challenge yet. The Nuggets (15-14) are in town with current MVP Nikola Jokic, who has historically owned the Thunder, averaging 20.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 21 games.
Thunder vs. Nuggets notable injuries:
Thunder: Tre Mann (left toe sprain) is questionable. Mike Muscala (rest) is out.
Nuggets: Aaron Gordon (left hamstring soreness) and JaMychal Green (right ankle sprain/left knee soreness) are questionable. Bol Bol (health and safety protocol), PJ Dozier (left ACL surgery), Markus Howard (left knee sprain), Jamal Murray (left knee injury recovery) and Michael Porter Jr. (spine surgery) are out.

Advice and prediction
The injury-riddled Nuggets have been a middle of the pack team on both ends of the floor as Jokic tries to hold everything together with another MVP campaign. Meanwhile, the Thunder are winners of two straight close contests but have struggled to run at the beginning of games. Jokic has historically dominated the Thunder, and I expect this to continue on Wednesday. The team does not have a proper defender near his size to guard him. The reigning MVP should be enough to help lead his team to a road win against a rebuilding squad.
Prediction: Nuggets 120, Thunder 105
