Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Regular Season Record: 32-13
The Denver Nuggets have been a spectacular offensive team throughout the 2022-23 season, and of course they can rely on Nikola Jokić, who is once again among the candidates for the MVP award.
The Nuggets are first in field goal percentage at 51%, and they are also first in three-point percentage at 39.7%. Nikola Jokić has three straight triple-doubles, not counting Friday’s game against the Kings, and there’s really little his opponents have been able to do to diminish his relentless performance.
In his career against the Thunder, Jokić averages 21 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists in 28 games.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Regular Season Record: 22-23
The Oklahoma City Thunder was considered before the season a talented but very inexperienced team to fight for a playoff spot, but under the leadership of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander they have surprised everybody, as they are currently in the Play-in zone.
The Canadian player is averaging 28.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in eight games in January, and we will most likely see him in the NBA All-Star Game which will be played in February in Utah. Collectively, the Oklahoma City Thunder is 7th in the NBA in points per game with an average of 117.
JefeBet Prediction
The Denver Nuggets have been virtually unbeatable at home, with a record of 21 wins and only three losses, while the Thunder have a poor 8-14 record when playing away.
The Nuggets have won all three previous games against the Thunder this season. And considering how well they are performing in Denver, they will complete the series sweep over Oklahoma City this Sunday in the 2022-23 NBA campaign.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Spread.
