So if I am running both Nextdns and adblocker locally, is there any point ? Which one is blocking first ?

I do the same and together they work the best I find. Ad-blockers act at a different level than DNS blockers so can catch things that the DNS didn't (DNS only had domain, while ad-blockers have the full path)

But the order of evaluation is first local ad blocker then dns blocker I guess, right ?
