Nuggets vs. Thunder

With secondary scorer Jalen Williams (17.5 PPG), Isaiah Hartenstein, and Alex Caruso officially ruled out for tonight’s matchup, we expect Luguentz Dort to see a significant usage increase to fill the scoring void. While Dort recorded 8 points in his most recent outings against both Denver and Golden State, he demonstrated his scoring ceiling with a 16-point performance against the Knicks just five days ago. As Oklahoma City fights to maintain the West’s top seed in a shorthanded rotation, Dort’s expanded offensive volume should push him over this 8.5-point total.
