Premium Pick

Oklahoma City isn't just about star Russell Westbrook, They are a well balanced team that is #11 in the NBA in points scored and #16 in points allowed. The Thunder are 12-5 ATS against the NBA Northwest Division and are a dog to a Denver team that is just outside a playoff spot. The Nuggets trail the Blazers by 1.5 games for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They are favored, but have a losing record the last seven games, ranked #27 in points allowed, #28 at defending the three-pointer, and #29 in field goal shooting (.479) allowed. Only the Lakers are worse in FG defense. Oklahoma City has won eight straight meetings and is on an 8-2-1 ATS run against Denver. Play Oklahoma City.
