Thunder at Nuggets tips and predictions

forecast

Nuggets 17, Thunder 112

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Nuggets spread (-135) offers better value.

Against the spread

BETTING NUGGETS -2.5 (-105).

Denver has a distinct advantage in this preseason matchup between the West’s top two teams in 2023-24; It opens the season in front of a home crowd, facing an Oklahoma City team plagued by injuries.

Although Oklahoma City is still a solid team, the C will be extremely difficult to beat Nikola Jokic and companies without his entire squad. With a low spread, a Nuggets win indicates a high probability of coverage.

Over/Under

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).

Expect this game to be high scoring and fast paced. While the Nuggets will draw on the energy of their home crowd, they will look to spread the scoring, while the Thunder have a young team that has found success moving the ball forward. In a nationally televised matchup, Jokic and the Nuggets will take this to the over.
