Full injury report for Wednesday’s Nuggets vs. Thunder matchup

The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday in a pivotal matchup that will determine the season series. Entering the contest, both teams had lengthy injury reports, and it appears OKC enjoyed better luck than Denver in that department.

After being listed as questionable, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness), Chet Holmgren (ankle sprain) and Lu Dort (ankle soreness) are available to play. Jalen Williams (ankle sprain) and Isaiah Joe (sternum contusion) are out.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets will be without their MVP candidate. Nikola Jokic (low back pain) was ruled out.

Julian Strawther (knee contusion/sprain), Vlatko Cancar (knee surgery), Jalen Pickett (G League assignment) and Hunter Tyson (G League assignment) are all also out.

The Thunder (32-15) look to snap a two-game losing streak when they welcome in the Nuggets (33-15) for the final regular-season matchup between the teams.

In their last outing, the Thunder lost a crucial game to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. Both teams are fighting for first place in the West and split their season series at 2.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets picked up a pair of impressive wins over the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks. Denver looks to even the season series at 2.
