NBA Betting Trends

Denver

The Nuggets are 8-17 against the spread in their last 25 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five against a winning team.

Oklahoma City

The Thunder are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 against Western Conference opponents and 1-6 ATS in their last seven following a win.

Prediction:

Denver has won all three meetings with OKC this season and the Nuggets have covered the spread in eight straight against the Thunder. Still, Denver has been a mess on offense lately and they will need some points tonight against OKC at home. If George plays, the Thunder should definitely be able to handle themselves. The Nuggets have struggled on the road and the Thunder need the win. If George is out, I still am confidence that OKC can win by 5 at home.

NBA Prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder -5
