Series History

The Thunder went 2-2 against the Nuggets last season (1-1 at home, 1-1 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (+8.5)

The Nuggets are playing in the second game of a back-to-back, and the Thunder are well-rested after a couple days off. OKC came out pretty rusty in their opener, shooting just 38.4% from the field, but I anticipate they will look a little sharper tonight. Because of that expect the game to be close.

Staff Picks

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (226.5)

The Nuggets have not played great defense so far, and as a result, I think OKC will get back on track with their shooting and figure out a way to score some points. I don’t think the Thunder will pull out a win on the road, but I do expect a close, high-scoring game.
