Denver Nuggets Vs Okc Thunder Match Player Stats

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 21 points, setting a new Oklahoma City Thunder record and equalling Wilt Chamberlain’s mark for consecutive 20-point games, as they edged Denver Nuggets in overtime in the Denver Nuggets Vs Okc Thunder Match Player Stats showdown.

Starting off contentiously, Lu Dort and Nikola Jokic had an altercation late in the fourth quarter, leading to two ejections and further disruption. There was plenty of talking and pushing from both teams throughout.

Jonas Valanciunas

Jonas Valanciunas (born 6 May 1992) is a Lithuanian professional basketball player currently playing for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

He plays at center, was chosen with the fifth overall pick in 2011 NBA draft by Toronto Raptors and previously played for New Orleans Pelicans, Washington Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies among others. Additionally he represented his nation at international levels winning two EuroBasket silver medals.

Valanciunas had become part of a tight rotation heading into Friday’s matchup against the Thunder, as he had seen only seven minutes or less per game over his last six outings.

That trend continued on this evening; Valanciunas only played nine minutes during their 121-115 win against Oklahoma City.

Finding his spot will only become harder going forward as Nuggets coach David Adelman may give Aaron Gordon more playing time at center position when Nikola Jokic is off court.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, born July 12 1998 and standing 6 feet five inches (1m98/ 6-5). On October 24, 2025 he set his career high scoring 55 points in Oklahoma City Thunder’s victory against Indiana 135-141 while also contributing 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in this win.

Gilgeous-Alexander has now scored at least 30 points in each of his last three games, scoring 31 on Thursday against Los Angeles Lakers (10-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 16-17 FT), eight assists and three rebounds over 38 minutes before adding 25 (8-23 FG, 0-7 3Pt 13-16FT FTs and five assists against New York Knicks on Sunday.

Nikola Jokic

The Nuggets were down to one of their top reserves during the final two minutes of regulation, yet still managed to find a way to win.

Jamal Murray and other rotation players (Zeke Nnaji’s reinstatement of Playoff Rotation Russian Roulette among them) came up big by providing timely defense against Gilgeous-Alexander while providing clutch shot-making throughout the game.

Jokic arrived to Game 3 dressed as the Joker – wearing a suit complete with green vest and donning an ensemble that suggests this. But his box score didn’t make for good comedy.

His shooting, pass arc and timing were all off, making the Nuggets appear vulnerable against an opponent they had no business beating on paper.

While it shouldn’t be taken lightly, no one could really blame Jokic but himself; after the game he reminded his teammates not to let him do it alone — after all they’re family too!

Jamal Murray

Jamal Murray was selected in the seventh round of the 2016 NBA Draft by Denver Nuggets, and quickly established himself as their primary ball handler and scoring threat. Hailing from Toronto Ontario, this 6-4 point guard/shooting guard has recently shown his best form, scoring 53 points against Mavericks while hitting 10 three-pointers; Nuggets have gone 6-3 when Murray scores at least 30 points during games this year with an average of 30.7 points, 7.5 assists and 4.4 rebounds per contest during that stretch.
