The Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets are set to do battle again on Monday after playing a highly competitive matchup on Sunday. This is part of a rare back-to-back set that features the same teams in the same building.

On Sunday afternoon, the Thunder pulled away from the Nuggets late to earn a dominating 127-103 win, in which superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped his third straight 40-plus point game. It was a battle billed as an NBA MVP title belt match and the Thunder won led by its star.

Though, as these two teams get set for the rematch each side issued an encouraging injury report that leaves Monday's game with great anticipation.

Oklahoma City Thunder Injury Report

Isaiah Hartenstein — Nasal Fracture: Available

Dillon Jones — G League: Probable

Branden Carlson — G League: OUT

Alex Ducas — G League: OUT

Ajay Mitchell — Toe: OUT

Nikola Topic — ACL: OUT

Denver Nuggets Injury Report

Nikola Jokic — Elbow: Questionable

Jamal Murray — Knee: Questionable

Aaron Gordon — Calf: OUT

Julian Strawther — Knee: OUT

Zeke Nnaji — Ankle: Probable

DaRon Holmes II — Achilles: OUT

With Chet Holmgren not appearing on the Thunder's injury report, signaling his availability, it marks the first time the Gonzaga product will play on both ends of a back-to-back set since suffering a hip fracture on Nov. 10 against the Golden State Warriors.

After a hard fall for Jokic on Sunday that seemed clear to impact his play, the Nuggets list their MVP candidate as questionable. Obviously, the jury is still out on if Jokic will suit up, but it seems encouraging that he was not immediately ruled out.

The Nuggets are two a pair of rotational players for certain on an already shallow roster and have two key names to watch ahead of tip-off for their status.

Up next, the Oklahoma City Thunder have a third straight Nationally Televised game on Wednesday night in Boston when the Thunder take on the Celtics.
