Oklahoma City Thunder vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/06/24

It’s already the 2nd meeting of the season between the Thunder and Nuggets. Can Denver become the first team to beat OKC? Let’s break down our Thunder vs Nuggets prediction. OKC had an easy task on Monday against the shorthanded Orlando Magic and they fully delivered with a 102-86 win. The defense was once again fantastic, keeping the opponent under 100 points for the 5th time in 7 games. The Thunder are yet to be in a close game this season and while dominating opponents is a good sign, not knowing how the team will react in the clutch could be a concern. Obviously we are nitpicking here, and after Wednesday’s game the Thunder have a 6-game homestand against West Coast teams.

The Nuggets barely beat the Toronto Raptors 121-119 on Monday, thanks to a late miss from R.J. Barrett that would have given the visitors the win. It was a much-needed win for Nikola Jokic and company that pushes them over the .500 mark for the first time this season. Jamal Murray didn’t play due to a concussion and there is hope he could return in time for Wednesday’s game. The last time Murray played the Thunder he finished with just 12 points, while also committing the most turnovers on his team. The Thunder are a well-oiled machine and you’ll be hard-pressed to find any flaw they have at the moment. They’ve beaten the Nuggets 4 times in a row, holding them to 100 points or fewer in the last 3 meetings. Sure, their win streak will end at some point, but for now I’m riding the bandwagon. My Thunder vs Nuggets pick is for OKC to cover.
