Thunder Preview: OKC Looks to Get Back on Track Against Denver Nuggets With Oklahoma City banged up and on a two-game slide, a win over Denver Wednesday would do a lot for morale.

JANUARY 31, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Julian Strawther - Still out Strawther (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Strawther hasn't played since Jan. 4. He doesn't have a return timetable, so barring a return to practice, he can be considered doubtful for future contests.

Nikola Jokic - Dealing with back pain Jokic is questionable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City due to lower back pain.

Impact Jokic has not missed a game since Nov. 27, although he has operated with a mammoth workload lately, averaging 36.1 minutes across his last seven games. If Jokic doesn't suit up Wednesday, DeAndre Jordan would likely start in his place, while Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji could earn minutes at center to face off against Chet Holmgren, Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams of Oklahoma City.

Jamal Murray - Career-best season continues Murray ended Monday's 113-107 win over the Bucks with 35 points (13-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Impact Murray posted his fifth game with 30-plus points this season, with four of his booms coming in January. Murray is amid a elite season, posting 21.4 points per game with career-best marks of 58.6 percent true shooting and a 3.4 AST/TO ratio on his highest assist rate ever.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Impactful despite no threes Caldwell-Pope logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 113-107 win over the Bucks.

Impact Caldwell-Pope is shooting just 23.3 percent on 4.3 attempts from deep across his last seven games, yielding 9.6 points for game over that span. He has failed to post a steal in three of his past six contests as well, and there are likely more intriguing options on the waiver wire if Caldwell-Pope isn't delivering threes and steals on a consistent basis.

Nikola Jokic - Put to work Monday Jokic totaled 25 points (10-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and three steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 113-107 victory over the Bucks. He had t...

Impact Jokic's 27 true shot attempts marked his seventh largest workload of the season. The interior defense of Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the most formidable frontcourts in the league for defending Jokic, but he still posted a triple-double by the end of the third quarter. His two-man game with Jamal Murray (35 points) is in peak form, which is the epitome of potent offense.
