Oklahoma City Thunder at Denver Nuggets Preview & Picks
Denver are tipped to cover as they open the season with a home win.
The Nuggets are a tough nut to crack on their home court, and their lack of depth is unlikely to hurt them this early in the season as they can lean on a strong starting five.
- Denver Nuggets went 37-11 at home last season
- Oklahoma City Thunder were 8-10 as a road underdog last season
- Denver have won the first meeting with Oklahoma City in each of the last 2 seasons
- The Under has cashed in each of the previous 5 meetings
Head To Head
- Oklahoma City Thunder lead the all-time series 117-103
- Oklahoma City Thunder won 105-100 when the two teams last met in January 2024
Oklahoma City Thunder Form
Oklahoma City enter the 2024/25 campaign looking to top last season where they made it to the conference semi-finals.
The Thunder put together a Western Conference-best 57-25 regular season record, and then swept New Orleans in the playoffs before losing to Dallas in six games.
They warmed up for the new season by going 2-2 in the pre-season, starting with a 112-107 victory over the Spurs in San Antonio.
Oklahoma City failed to build on that as they returned home to lose 122-113 to Houston in overtime, but they did rebound immediately with a 124-94 victory in Denver.
The Thunder failed to wrap up the pre-season with a win though, as they were beaten at home by Atlanta, 104-99.
Denver Nuggets Form
Denver enter the new campaign looking to challenge for the NBA title again after falling short last season.
The Nuggets went 57-25 in the regular season, and then beat the Los Angeles Lakers in four games before losing a seven-game thriller with Minnesota.
They go into this game on the back of a win, but their pre-season form overall was bad.
Denver began their schedule with back-to-back games in Abu Dhabi, losing 107-103 and 130-104 to Boston, before returning home to lose 118-114 to Phoenix.
The Nuggets then suffered a 124-94 defeat to Oklahoma City, before wrapping up pre-season on a positive note, beating Minnesota 132-126.
Verdict
Denver endured a rough pre-season but we are not reading too much into that just yet.
The Nuggets have been strong at home in recent years and their depth issues are unlikely to show up until later in the campaign.
