ANALYSIS

Market sentiment favors the underdog at 52.5%, but we are siding with the 50-win Thunder as they look to capitalize on a Denver team reeling from a 39-point blowout loss and a questionable Jamal Murray (ankle). With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander one game away from tying Wilt Chamberlain’s all-time scoring record and OKC riding a five-game win streak, their league-leading home efficiency makes this -7.5 line a value play against a Nuggets core that has struggled to a 7-9 record since late January.
Key Data
Market price 0.475; true win-by-8 margin probability projects at 52%.

OUTCOME

Oklahoma City Thunder 129 - Denver Nuggets 126
