Why the Thunder Will Cover (+5)

Denver and OKC have been killing it lately. The Nuggets are clearly the better team, but the Thunder keeps it close, regardless of who they’re playing. I can see this one coming down to some free throws at the end, so I’m taking OKC to cover, even if I’m not convinced they can pull off the win.

Staff Picks

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (239)

Neither OKC nor Denver has been particularly great at hitting the over on the point total this season, but this matchup has been a high-scoring one all season. I think tonight’s game will be no different, so I’m tentatively taking the over on the point total.
