Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Nearly a Double-Digit Favorite for Game 1 Against Nuggets

OKC and Denver had two very different first-round experiences, so they may have different experiences to start the second round. The Thunder are a heavy favorite; part of that is due to over a week of rest. Meanwhile, the Nuggets just wrapped up their series on Friday night. I think OKC’s rest is enough to make them a favorite, but the Thunder should win this series anyway. I’m expecting a close one tonight through three quarters, but OKC’s depth should allow them to pull away late, securing a double-digit victory.
