Who will WIN this matchup?
Oklahoma City Thunder (17-9)
@ Denver Nuggets (18-9)
Current odds:
Oklahoma City Thunder: (-135)
Denver Nuggets: (+115)
• The line for this game is Thunder by 2 points.
• The Nuggets recently lost starting shooting guard Gary Harris (hip) and starting power forward Paul Millsap (broken toe) to injuries so they are relying more on center Nikola Jokic. The 23-year-old Serbian had 27 points and 12 rebounds in Monday’s 105-99 win over the visiting Memphis Grizzlies and has four double-doubles over the past five games while averaging 20.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 9.4 assists during the stretch.
• The Thunder dropped a 118-114 decision to the host New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday to lose for just the fifth time in the past 22 games. “We got stops on demand, we got stops when we needed to, we just weren’t able to close it out,” Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook told reporters. “It happens like that sometimes. We still gave ourselves a chance to win the game.”
• Small forward Paul George is averaging 30.5 points over the last four contests and he had 25 points and 11 rebounds against the Pelicans for his ninth double-double of the season. Similar to Westbrook, George was upbeat about a setback that came against a New Orleans squad that received 44 points from star Anthony Davis. “We played, really, really together. We were connected, offense and defense,” George told reporters. “On defense, we swarmed. We did everything we could to get the extra 50-50 balls or get the rebound. Offensively we shared it and got the ball to the open man.”
• Backup point guard Monte Morris excelled against Memphis by matching his career best of 20 points and also contributing six rebounds and five assists. Coach Michael Malone was among the impressed as he said “we don’t not win that game without Monte,” while Morris is looking for his shot more with Harris out and has strung together four straight double-figure outings. “I have to change my mindset from being that facilitator and scoring here and there to being more in attack mode for the team,” Morris said. “Especially with guys out.”
• The Nuggets won the past three meetings, including a 105-98 victory on Nov. 24.
• Oklahoma City C Steven Adams scored 20 points against New Orleans and posted four 20-point efforts in the past five games.
• Denver PG Jamal Murray is averaging 10 points over the past two games after scoring at least 20 in five of the previous six games.
