The Oklahoma City Thunder will go for their sixth straight win as they play host to the Denver Nuggets, who just absorbed a terrible beatdown from the NY Knicks.

Current Form:

The OKC Thunder will try to extend their winning streak to six games as they take on the Denver Nuggets. The Thunder still owns the best record in the NBA at 50-15. On Saturday, OKC staved off a late fightback from the Golden State Warriors to post a 104-97 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Isaiah Joe added 18 points for the Thunder, who smothered the Warriors below 100 points.

The Denver Nuggets lost to the New York Knicks 103-142, ending their two-game winning streak. Nikola Jokic filled in the boxscore sheet, recording 38 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists in 31 minutes of play. However, there were only three players who scored in double figures outside Jokic as the Nuggets shot 45 percent from the field and went 8 for 40 beyond the three-point line.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Thunder maul the Nuggets 123-110

OKC faces a manageable 6.5-point handicap in its third meeting with the Nuggets this season. The Thunder recorded convincing wins over the Nuggets in their first two meetings (121-111 on Feb 1 and 127-121 on Feb. 27). The Thunder could miss Chet Holmgreen due to illness on Monday, but they still have a plethora of bigs willing to bang bodies with Nikola Jokic. Jaylin Williams, who is providing quality minutes for the Thunder, is going to play a significant role in slowing down Jokic, the engine of the Nuggets' offense. Denver is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games against Oklahoma City, but their ugly loss to the Knicks, 103-142, exposed the Nuggets’ limited source of points outside Jokic.

Our betting prediction for the Denver Nuggets vs. the OKC Thunder: The Thunder -6.5 points

Prediction:

 

The Thunder -6.5 points
