LiontipsDenver vs Oklahoma. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Denver managed to get back to the 6th spot in the Western Conference. But the fight goes on. Nuggets are tied on victories with Minnesota at 43. But Mike Malone's men are higher on tiebreakers. Colorado team needs to record more victories to keep their play-off spot.
Last week, Denver managed to get only one victory. They beat the Clippers (127:115). In other matches the Nuggets were beaten by Cleveland (116:119), Boston (104:124) and Phoenix (130:140).
Oklahoma managed to put an end to their ten-game losing streak. Three days ago, Thunder smashed Orlando at home. Theo Maledon scored 25 points and helped the Thunder to record a 118:102 victory. Terrence Ross and Isaiah Roby also put up a great performance. Each one of them scored 21 points.
Thunder have no chance for a play-off spot. They lost it a long time ago, plus they have a huge injuried list, so we are not expecting a spectacular performance from them.
