Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City head back to Denver with an opportunity to wrap up the series following Tuesday’s home win.

The Thunder made a rough start to the series as the lost two of the first three games, including their home opener.

They began the series with a 121-119 defeat to the Nuggets, and then failed to back up a 149-106 blowout as they were beaten 113-104 in overtime on the road.

Oklahoma City have taken control of the series over the last two games though, as they have followed up a 92-87 road win with a 112-105 victory at home.

The Thunder compiled a league-best a 68-14 record to finish top of the Western Conference, and they made light work of Memphis in the first round of the playoffs, sweeping the Grizzlies.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver return home in a desperate situation, knowing they must now win back-to-back games or their season will end.

The Nuggets made the perfect start to the series as they went out on the road to win 121-119 at Oklahoma City.

They then bounced back from a 149-106 defeat with a 113-104 overtime win in their home opener, but it has been all downhill since then.

Denver were beaten 92-87 on the home court by the Thunder, before heading back to OKC for a 112-105 defeat that has left them on the brink of elimination.

The Nuggets earned their place in the playoffs with a 50-32 record, and went the full seven games with the LA Clippers in the first round, finally settling it with a 120-101 victory.

Verdict

Oklahoma City have taken control of this series, but as a spread bet they remain unreliable.

Denver continue to deliver in the role of underdog, so on their home court we are taking the Nuggets and the free buckets.
