Denver visit Oklahoma in the NBA, and our Thunder vs Nuggets match prediction is for over 228.5 points. All four meetings between the teams last season finished above that mark, with totals of 232, 248, 255 and 234. The average was about 242 points, even with Oklahoma City resting regulars in the last game. Four of the Nuggets' last seven road games also topped 240.
Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray are projected to start for Denver, and DeMar DeRozan adds scoring on a one-year deal. Oklahoma City are expected to also start Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren. Last season the Thunder scored 119.0 points per game, while the Nuggets averaged 122.1. Together that is 241.1 points per game.
Denver's Julian Strawther is out, and Oklahoma City lacks Otega Oweh for the season. Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber are listed with back and knee issues. None of them are starters, so both main lineups are intact.
Oklahoma City play their second game in three nights after a 116-104 win at the Spurs. Denver, meanwhile, are yet to play, but already showed scoring prowess this preseason with 133 against Chicago and 121 at the Lakers.
