Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets: prediction for the NBA match
If we look at the last 14 head-to-head meetings between Oklahoma and Denver, we will see statistics that are disappointing for Oklahoma. Thunder won only 2 matches, one of which was the preseason match. There were 2 more overtimes, which Denver won. Last season Denver won 3 matches with a score 119:101, 97:95, 126:96.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Milwaukee failed their last match. Four days ago the Bucks lost to Cleveland with a bang at home (90:119). But in that duel, only eight players played with the “reindeer”. Yannis Adetokounbo and Bobby Portis were caught in the COVID protocol. But Chris Middleton and Donte De Vincenzo have injuries. In the upcoming meeting Milwaukee should be strengthened. It is possible that Chris Middleton will appear on the floor. His exit should help the “Bucks”, so the “reindeer” have earned the status of a favorite.
Denver Nuggets
Nuggets close the leading five of the West and if we take into account the losses, then this is still a good result. The team performs without Jamal Murray and such point guards are worth their weight in gold, since Michael Malone still cannot find a worthy replacement. Denver celebrated victory in the last match when they dealt with Atlanta (133-115) away. This time, Nashon Highland and Monte Morris tore apart the rival’s defenses and brought maximum discomfort to the Hawks’ defense. The team has lagged behind the top 4, respectively, the Nuggets hope to correct this moment in the near future.
Prediction
Oklahoma is not showing the most stable basketball this season, because young people need time. As part of the "thunders" can be distinguished except for Shay Gilges-Alexander, but without the support of partners, he will not be able to bring the club to a new level. Denver tries to do everything possible to ensure that injuries do not affect the overall picture. Of course, Michael Malone's charges also make mistakes, but not as significant as the opponent. Regardless, we assume that two wins in a row have added confidence to the Thunder players and will not let themselves be crushed at home. Our prediction is for handicap (+8) points on Oklahoma City-Thunder for coefficient 1.62 in BC 1xBet. The individual matches were far from being productive and if we take into account problems of teams, then there is a high probability that history will repeat itself. In our opinion, opponents will not break through the total total, but will show a more restrained play in the attack. Second bet is for the total under 218.5 points for 1.63.
