The Paycom Center will be lit this evening as Western Conference leaders the Oklahoma City Thunder host fourth-place Denver Nuggets in the NBA. The Thunder are 45–15 on the season, while the Nuggets are 37–22. Here is our prediction.
The Oklahoma City Thunder came out losers in a clash of conference leaders against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Jaylin Williams’ game-high 30 points couldn't save the defending champions from defeat, as they fell 124–116 to the Pistons.
That result brought their three-game winning streak to an end. Six of their players are sidelined for this clash due to injuries, including game-changer Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Moreover, Mark Daigneault’s side have struggled against the spread in their recent games, especially when priced as home favourites. They have failed to cover the betting line in eight of their last 11 games in home-favourite situations.
The Denver Nuggets came from behind to defeat the Boston Celtics 103–84 in their last game. The victory over the Celtics marked their second win in three games. They have consistently exceeded bookmakers’ expectations in away-underdog situations, covering the spread in eight of their last nine games in such situations.
