Denver at Oklahoma City

Premium Pick

Denver has a losing road record because of soft defense at #27 in points allowed, and #29 in field goal shooting defense. The Nuggets are 3-8 ATS against the Northwest Division and have nothing to play for. Denver was eliminated from the postseason race on Sunday when Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook buried a 36-foot, three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Thunder a 106-105 victory. Denver comes off a win at Dallas but held out forwards Danilo Gallinari (rest) and Kenneth Faried (back), swingman Will Barton (rest) and point guards Jameer Nelson (calf) and Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle). Most, if not all, of the group will also sit out the finale tonight. Oklahoma City is 21-8-1 ATS at home and 22-10 ATS vs. a team with a losing straight-up record. The Nuggets have also lost their last eight visits to Oklahoma City, including a 121-106 setback in January. Lay the points on Oklahoma City.
