The Nuggets, last season's top seed in the Western Conference with an impressive 57-25 record, struggled in their debut match against the Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 102-87 on Friday night. This matchup, anticipated as the curtain-raiser, instead left Nuggets fans disheartened. Despite the reigning MVP Nikola Jokic's first triple-double of the season, Denver faced a rough shooting night, ending with their lowest total score in a regular-season game since January. The offensive struggles were evident as they had just five players score in double figures, compared to the Thunder’s standout duo of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, who scored 28 and 25 points, respectively. Jokic led the Nuggets with only 16 points, a modest output by his standards.
While an opening-day loss to an opponent of Oklahoma City’s caliber might not be overly concerning, it adds to a tough pre-season showing for the Nuggets, who entered with a 1-4 record in their five warm-up games. As they now prepare for an intense battle against the Clippers, the Nuggets must avoid beginning the season with consecutive defeats, especially as they look ahead to a heavyweight matchup next weekend. Historically, Denver has struggled against the Clippers recently, losing their last three encounters, including a 78-88 loss at Cox Pavilion in the Summer League this past July.
On the Clippers' side, their thrilling season opener against the Phoenix Suns ended in overtime, with a narrow 116-113 defeat on Thursday at the Intuit Dome. Tyronn Lue’s squad was tantalizingly close to victory in its inaugural game on the new court, maintaining a three-point lead until Kevin Durant's critical three-pointer forced the game into overtime. Star player James Harden led the Clippers for much of the game, tallying 29 points, but his contributions slowed in overtime, where he managed only a single point.
Newly acquired players had mixed debuts for the Clippers; Jones scored 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting, while Kevin Porter Jr. struggled, managing just two points on a tough 1-of-8 shooting night, including missing all four of his three-point attempts. The Clippers now aim to secure their first win on Saturday before embarking on a road game stretch, starting with a much-anticipated clash at the Chase Center against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
As both teams seek to find their rhythm and secure crucial early-season victories, Saturday's game promises to be a compelling showdown between two of the league's most ambitious squads.
