Does Denver stop OKC’s winning streak?
Oklahoma and Denver are currently mid-table rivals in the Western Conference.
Both teams have won four of their seven league games. However, the form curve is pointing upwards for the hosts at the moment.
After three losses to start the new season, OKC has won four in a row. For the game between Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets, an NBA prediction from today is available below.
Oklahoma City Thunder – Statistics & current form
Oklahoma last prevailed against Orlando and once again Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the match winner on the side of the hosts with 34 points. The guard is in a strong early form and delivers an average of 31.5 points.
With this output, he currently exceeds his career high by a whopping 13 points! In a rather below-average home team, the Canadian unquestionably stands out and if he continues to play like this, he could be in line for the first All-Star nomination of his career this season!
Denver Nuggets – Statistics & current form
The Nuggets are last to give the Lakers their first win of the season. However, with a win rate of still around 57 percent, one can be satisfied with the start of the season in the “Mile High City”. Jamal Murray is also getting more and more playing minutes.
The point guard returned to the Denver squad this season after a long injury layoff and set a new personal season high with 21 points in the loss to the Lakers in the last game.
Oklahoma City Thunder – Denver Nuggets Tip
For the showdown between Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets, the tip aims for more than 16.5 points by Michael Porter Jr. on the side of the visitors.
The small forward missed one game due to injury, but the 24-year-old has been available again for two games. After only playing nine games last season, Porter Jr. is now looking to get back on track.
Here he is highly motivated in his comeback in the NBA. He has averaged 18.5 points per outing so far this season and only failed to exceed the selected scoring limit in the first of his six games.
