Oklahoma City has ridden on the shoulders of Russell Westbrook all season. That has not even been enough lately as the Thunder have dropped three straight games, the last to Houston, despite a 49-point effort from Westbrook. Denver has been in the midst of a tough schedule with two vs. the Clippers, and others vs. Golden State, Atlanta, and San Antonio. I think they are catching the Thunder at the right time, as they are off a three-game road trip, and sometimes it takes a team a game or two at home to get comfortable again. Coach Malone has been great in the role of a road dog during his tenure in Denver, as his Nuggets own a 31-17 ATS mark as a road dog. Take the points on Denver.
