The Oklahoma City Thunder recently saw an eight-game winning streak come to an end at the hands of the banged-up Washington Wizards, but OKC will look to start a new run on the road against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. Before the SU and ATS loss vs the Wiz, OKC went 6-2 ATS on its winning streak.
- The Nuggets are 11-0 SU and 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games at home after losing their most recent home game.
- The Nuggets are 16-5 SU in their last 21 games at home.
- The Thunder are 0-3 ATS in their last three games against the Nuggets.
The Thunder committed a season-high 21 turnovers, with reigning MVP Russell Westbrook managing just 13 points with seven turnovers. Paul George went scoreless in the fourth quarter of the 102-96 loss. Regardless of the poor finish, George finished with a season-high 28 points and is averaging 27.8 points over the last six contests.
Denver is coming off back-to-back tough losses to two of the best teams in the NBA in the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs by a total of three points. Shooting guard Will Barton took the final shot at the end of each of those games and missed three-pointers on both occasions. At 26-25 SU, the Nuggets are fighting to stay above .500 during a four-game stretch that sees them play Boston, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Golden State.
The Nuggets have been one of the most reliable UNDER wagers in the league of late, evidenced by them going UNDER in eight of the last 11 games.
