The Oklahoma City Thunder host the Denver Nuggets in their 2026-27 home opener after beating San Antonio 116-104, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 32 points. Denver will be without forward Spencer Jones, who was held out as a precaution because of a hamstring injury, and Julian Strawther is also unavailable. Oklahoma City is without Otega Oweh, Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic; despite its absences, the Thunder won last season’s regular-season series against Denver 3-1.
