Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Oklahoma City Thunder were one of the best covering teams in the NBA last season, and this year is no different. OKC is 6-1 ATS on the season. The Denver Nuggets have had issues finishing games, they have no bench, and now they’re down two major rotation players in Murray and Gordon. It’s hard to like the Nuggets even if they’re at home. I’ll ride one of the cash cows. Give me the Thunder.
