OKC Thunder grind out impressive victory against the Nuggets: player grades
By Sinjin Snope
Best OKC Thunder Reserve:
B. . PG. Oklahoma City Thunder. DENNIS SCHRODER
Not Dennis Schroder‘s best game off the bench, but an effective one nonetheless. He scored 11 points and provided his trademark offensive spark to his OKC Thunder teammates when they needed it tonight.
Best Opponent:
NIKOLA JOKIC. A. . C. Denver Nuggets
Fantastic performance from one of the premier players in the NBA, Nikola Jokic. The star of the Denver Nuggets scored 32 points, grabbed 7 boards and had 5 assists in another impressive game. Nikola Jokic is the main reason why the Nuggets are so high up the Western Conference standings. Great player.
Notably, all teams tend to struggle to shake off the rust after a week off for the break. The first few games back tend to resemble season start but things will even out quickly.
